China coverage on Travel Channel

by Jamie Rhein (RSS feed) on Jul 31st 2008 at 1:00PM

In preparation for the Olympics, The Travel Channel has been offering several China-themed options this week and is continuing with its coverage by repeating various episodes. Here they are in case you've missed them and want to catch up.

For those interested in China's natural landscape and wildlife and how the natural world fits into Chinese culture and sensibilities, check out Wild China. Episodes range from panda bears to the ecosystem and take armchair travelers from Tibet to the Great Wall and from the deserts to the sea. (For schedule.)

Samantha Brown's Passport to China is focused on three places: Beijing, Sichuan, and Xian. The show offers a potpourri look at life in China from a variety of angles. (For schedule)

Great Cruises is offering an episode "Royal Passage to Asia." Like the others, it is being aired a few different times.

For the gastronomic delights--or the opposite of delightful, depending on your tastes, Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods and Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations are repeating episodes that are China related. (No Reservations schedule; Bizarre Foods schedule)

The photo of the Bird's Nest, the stadium where the Olympic ceremonies will take place is from the Travel Channel Web site's page that highlights Beijing's attractions.
