BEIJING, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A bilingual micro-drama in Chinese and English titled "144 Hours in Ningbo" has recently been popular on multiple platforms, catching the eyes of viewers from home and abroad with unique creativity, rich cultural connotations, and captivating storylines.

Closely following hot trends such as China Travel and the 144-hour visa-free transit policy, the micro-drama showcases the distinctive city culture of Ningbo in east China's Zhejiang Province, revealing the glorious evolution and unique charm of Ningbo from ancient times to the present through the wonderful 144-hour time-travel journey of an ancient French merchant.

In the Episode 1, "Flying boxes", medieval French merchant Lucas accidentally traveled to modern Ningbo from ancient times due to a sea storm, learning the modern style of the port city and the digital and efficient work scenario of the Ningbo Zhoushan Port through interactions with a port employee.

In the Episode 2, "Gold rush", Lucas experienced the rich and diversified city life together with another foreigner, including dining, shopping, museum visit, car racing, camping by the lake, etc. Lucas used the metaphor of "a horse not eating grass" to imply the booming development of the new energy vehicle industry in Ningbo.
