Wild China

Movie / Show Details

Wild China is a six-part nature documentary series from 2008 that explores the diverse landscapes and wildlife of China. Directed by Charlotte Scott, Gavin Maxwell, and George Chan, the series takes viewers across the country’s varied ecosystems, from towering mountains and vast deserts to coastal regions. Narrated by Bernard Hill, the documentary captures both the natural wonders of China and the lives of its people, blending scenes of jumping spiders on Mount Everest, the Great Wall’s winding paths, giant pandas, and everyday moments in villages, monasteries, and fishing communities.

This is a single-disc DVD release from BBC Natural History with a total runtime of five hours and ten minutes, rated 8.4 on IMDb. A co-production between the BBC and China’s CTV, the series presents the country through beautifully composed cinematography and thoughtful editing rather than through a host-led approach.
