Chongqing-The first all-English international broadcast program in Chongqing, the 182nd episode of "Let's Meet," titled “Shaping a New Chapter for the Mountain City”, jointly produced by the Western China International Communication Organization and Chongqing Satellite TV, will be aired on both domestic and international media on February 4.

Shaping a New Chapter for the Mountain City

Recently, the 2026 Chongqing Two Sessions concluded. As the city’s annual kick-off event, it not only reviewed past achievements but also signaled key trends for future development. The reporter spoke with several Chongqing NPC deputies and CPPCC members from the tourism, food, film, and tech sectors. Their insights offer more than just professional advice—they reflect a deep vision for the city’s high-quality growth. These forward-looking suggestions are being transformed into tangible benefits for the public. In this episode of Bridging News, let’s hear what these representatives have to say.

Guardian of the river, Companion to the Egrets

Along the Jiulongpo section of the Yangtze River, a story of ecological protection has lasted more than half a century. This area is now home to China’s first egret nature reserve, though few know that the birds once disappeared entirely. Their return came through a long journey of ecological restoration—from villagers protecting birds on their own, to formal conservation led by the government. Every step mattered. In this episode of Faces of Chongqing, we meet a special witness to the Yangtze, a retired fisherman who gave up fishing to protect the river. He shares a moving story of an ordinary person safeguarding ecology and home for a lifetime.

Exploring Wulong’s Intangible Heritage with Sama

Recently, Sama from Iran visited Wulong and explored the local traditional crafts passed down through generations. She tried two iconic forms of intangible heritage: Gelao batik from Haokou—where wax patterns meet deep indigo—and Bayu weaving, where simple palm leaves turn into lifelike insects and animals. Through hands-on experience, she demonstrates to overseas audiences that Wulong is not just rich in landscapes but also in culture. In this episode of iChongqing, let’s follow her into this living heritage.

A Healing Cat Park Warms Hearts at Home and Abroad

Recently, a newly opened cat-themed park in Chongqing’s Nan’an District has taken in over 600 stray or injured cats. Its warmth has touched locals—and resonated far beyond China. It’s more than a shelter—it’s a thoughtfully designed park with interaction areas and recovery zones, balancing animal care with visitor experience. CGTN and China Daily have featured this “theme park + animal rescue” model. In this episode of Trending Chongqing, let’s step inside and feel the gentle compassion behind Chongqing’s rapid growth.


"Let's Meet" airs every Wednesday and Saturday at 6 PM on Chongqing Satellite TV. It is also simultaneously released on the Let's Meet official WeChat Channels, Bridging News app, iChongqing website, Facebook and YouTube channel, WCICO's global communication matrix platform, and Chongqing Satellite TV's new media matrix.
