The documentary series Exploring the Unknown with Wang Yibo produced by Warner Bros Discovery recently aired on Tencent's video-sharing platform.

As an outdoor novice, Wang learns various survival skills under the explorer's guidance, unlocking new life experiences. When dense vegetation blocks their view, Wang learns to climb trees using ropes to determine the way forward. Faced with a waterfall and cliff, he tries rappelling through the rushing waters while maneuvering between steep walls on both sides. To reach the gibbons'habitat, he challenges himself by crossing a river with buoyancy equipment for the first time, completing a long-distance water traverse.
