Celebrities lead reality show to tickle viewers' taste buds

The fourth season of the gourmet reality show Taste Trails premiered on Zhejiang TV recently. This season features actress Mao Xiaotong, Taiwan singer Wilber Pan, pop idol Wen Junhui and host-actor Yu Yang as they explore the culinary culture of different cities across China.

Their first stop is Harbin in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, a city that gained booming popularity among tourists last year. The celebrity group aims to uncover new routes in this trending city for a wider audience. Following Harbin, they will also visit Shenzhen in Guangdong province and Hangzhou in Zhejiang province.

The reality show introduces a brand-new program format. In each episode, the celebrities first participate in a game, where a capsule machine randomly generates information that they must piece together to create a specific food route.

This information includes keywords describing the dining location, menu and a mystery guest who will join them for the meal.

The element of chance not only keeps the participants on their toes but also adds an element of suspense for the viewers, making the show even more engaging to watch.
