Kai-lan and her friends take a trip to China to meet Kai-lan’s favorite Great Aunt. While they are there, the little ones learn to face new experiences such as foods they have never tried, clothes they have never worn, and adventures they have never faced before. They learn about a different culture in both city and country settings and meet some new exciting animals, the pandas.
This DVD contains 3 episodes from Season 1 of Nick Jr.'s "Ni Hao, Kai-Lan." They are simply run back to back, but not according to the aired order: Kai-Lan's Trip to China (S01E19), Rain or Shine (S01E15), then Ant Playground (S01E10). The DVD includes a short bonus feature music video called "We're Going to China".
The TV show is modeled on Dora the Explorer, except it teaches Mandarin instead of Spanish. Unfortunately, there's much less emphasis on the language than there might be. Much seems aimed at heritage Chinese kids, and deals with customs, etc., while Kai-Lan and her animal friends encounter zany situations.
