Nature lovers around the world will be taken on "an extraordinary magic carpet ride to the four corners of the globe" in the latest landmark BBC natural history series, Planet Earth III, which hit screens across China on Sunday.

Viewers in China can watch the series via Shanghai Media Group's DocuChina channel on TV, and through online platforms such as iQiyi, BesTV, Bilibili, Tencent Video, Youku and Migu Video.

The eight-episode third installment in the award-winning series, which took five years to make, rather than the scheduled four, comprised 1,904 days of filming on 134 shoots in 43 countries across six continents, according to its organizers.
