The Angus message is being broadcast to millions of people in China.
A tourism documentary showcasing the county’s attractions has already been broadcast in China, with repeats scheduled for prime time television.
Glamis Castle, the Signal Tower museum, Arbroath Abbey, and the splendour of the Angus Glens were all captured by a team from Docu China TV which visited Scotland earlier this year.
Walking, mountain biking and golf attractions across the county were also covered after the crew chose to make Angus one of the top destinations they would feature.
The 20-minute documentary is a scenic journey around Angus and carries interviews about the Bell Rock Lighthouse with the Signal Tower Museum curator and a countryside ranger talking about outdoor pursuits in the glens.
Angus Council leader Bob Myles said: ”The film is a fantastic showcase for Angus and has been broadcast to a massive audience in prime time slots across China. We couldn’t hope for better coverage of Angus’ diverse tourism attractions to the Chinese market.
”It has the added bonus of delivering wonderful coverage at no cost. The producers came to us because the relationship we have built up over the years through the Angus in China initiative has exposed them to the Angus experience, first as leisure tourists then in a business capacity.”
The documentary team was also welcomed by David Broadfoot, administrator at Glamis Castle.
He said: ”The tourism community in Angus is very fortunate to have such a proactive council particularly in the growing Chinese market. As a direct result of their initiatives, Glamis Castle has the rare privilege of a twinning relationship with the Great Wall of China and the Penglai Pavilion in Shandong Province.”
Edward Wang of Docu China TV said that while Chinese tourists’ initial overseas trips are usually in the form of a short organised visit, their subsequent visits are now much more customised to their interests.
”The Chinese audience likes to see different angles of interesting places,” he said. ”They are eager to know new places to consider for travelling destinations.”
