LIMA, PERU — China’s most successful travel reality show, Divas Hit the Road, selected Peru as the featured destination to film four episodes of its eighth season. Over a nine-day journey, the production brought together prominent Chinese film, television, and music celebrities to explore the iconic attractions of Lima, Cusco, and Iquitos, highlighting the country’s cultural and geographic diversity to an estimated audience of over 100 million viewers per episode.
