Across China’s vast land, there are places where the most harmonious and touching encounters between humans and nature unfold. The documentary “Encountering China” visits 12 ecological sample sites across the country, capturing these authentic and heartwarming stories through the lens.
This stop takes us to Sanya, Hainan, where we dive into this vibrant blue world. At Wuzhizhou Island, China’s first tropical marine ranch, guardians of the ocean have spent decades cultivating 300,000 coral colonies, building a true underwater “Great Wall.” The seabed is now lush with coral like a forest, and vanished fish populations have returned to their underwater home, as if the marine ecosystem has been reborn. Guided by the principles of ecological civilization, the restoration efforts here not only highlight the importance of conservation but also serve as a vivid practice of jointly building a global ecological civilization. China remains committed to protecting the marine ecosystem, taking action to uphold the vision of a “community with a shared future for the ocean.”
“Encountering China” documents the mutual dedication between humans and nature.
