A CCTV documentary series, Aerial China, is a big hit with television viewers since it started broadcasting the series on January 28.

The 34-episode documentary, featuring 23 provinces, five autonomous regions, four municipalities and two special administrative regions, allows viewers to see China from above with brand new perspectives.

The documentary has great footages of natural landscapes and historical and cultural backgrounds of the country. Each episode is 50 minutes long.

Season 1 has 6 episodes in total, and introduces six different places: Heilongjiang, Hainan, Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Shanghai and Jiangxi. Four episodes from the series have already been broadcast on TV.

It took the television crew one year to finish the first season with 16 helicopters and 57 drones. The total distance was almost 150,000 kilometers — enough to circle the earth from the equator about four times!

Netizens were amazed at the incredibly spectacular views in the documentary. "Long history, beautiful place," said one. Another said he just wanted to go traveling after watching the video.
