Actress guides international guests in cultural fusion adventure

The well-received reality travel show Divas Hit the Road has introduced a spin-off series showcasing actress Zhao Zhaoyi as a tour guide for guests from Laos, Thailand and Indonesia.

Zhao, a prominent member of the Chinese celebrity cast in Season Five of Divas Hit the Road, guided her international companions on a culturally enriching and memorable expedition.

During the fifth season of the show, which concluded earlier this year, the group embarked on a 23-day journey spanning Saudi Arabia, Croatia, and Iceland.

In the spin-off program, Zhao led her foreign companions on an exploration of Changsha, Hunan province. Here, they delighted in authentic local delicacies, experienced traditional Chinese medicine massages, and were captivated by the nighttime beauty of the Xiangjiang River.

Their escapades also brought them to Qingxi village in Yiyang city, Hunan province, a charming location renowned for its natural splendor and as a vibrant symbol of rural revitalization and cultural heritage. Inside a local exhibition hall, they admired intricate bamboo artworks and delicate paper-cutting pieces meticulously crafted by talented local artisans.

Zhao skillfully led her foreign companions as they dressed in traditional attire representing different ethnic groups, providing them with a firsthand look at China's diverse cultural heritage.

The introduction of China's 144-hour visa-free transit policy has made it easier for a growing number of international visitors to explore the country's varied landscapes and cultural riches. Through the perspective of this reality show, the goal is to capture the essence of the voyage and embark on a cultural fusion adventure with friends from around the world.
