abstract:
The paper examines television journeys in Chinese broadcasting, where viewers embark on "immobile travel" from armchairs. It traces this televisual voyage from 1950s export documentaries promoting national progress, like Xinjiang footage, through post-Mao reflective series such as "Elegia del Fiume Giallo" (1988), to contemporary culinary epics like "A Bite of China" and celebrity reality shows. These TV travels evolve from propaganda and cultural introspection to entertainment, blending ideology, identity, and global allure.
