Inside China is the first nationally syndicated weekly TV magazine about China. Twenty-five series of this award-winning program have aired continuously for 15 years throughout the U.S. It is available for viewing on select PBS and independent stations. Each 30-minute episode includes 2-3 segments that focus on different aspects of Chinese culture.
Inside China’s host, Mary Windishar, unveils the exciting art, customs, and history of the Chinese people. From intriguing rituals and unusual foods to exotic travel destinations and historical relics, Inside China takes you across the ancient and newly emerging frontiers of the "Middle Kingdom." Each story looks behind the scenes into the daily lives of the Han Chinese and China's many ethnic minorities. You’ll learn about surprising Chinese inventions and gain a deeper understanding of the art, architecture, remote villages, city life, business culture, and changing face of China.
