60 million viewers watched the show about Croatia on Chinese Hainan television

The episode aired as part of the seventh season of Connections, a popular mosaic TV show that has been airing since 2016, and in which TV presenter Mei Qing hosts cultural experts and ambassadors to the PRC from countries around the world.

"Broadcasting the show about Croatia, which was watched by about 60 million viewers in the first show, is a great opportunity to promote our country on the Chinese market. The show talked about the Museum of Broken Relationships, the Šibenik International Children's Festival, the Dubrovnik Summer Festival and the city of Zadar, which is a friendly city with the Chinese tropical paradise Sanya. We also touched on football and Maksim Mrvica, and the hosts surprised us with great pronunciations of Croatian names and knowledge about Croatia in general, "said Gulin.
