Sweet Planet: A Global Tour of Sugar Delights!

Sugar isn’t just a treat—it’s a universal language . From fluffy Chinese mooncakes to crispy Turkish baklava, the world’s love affair with sweetness reveals how cultures collide (deliciously!) on our plates.

CGTN’s new series Sweet Planet takes viewers on a mouthwatering journey across 12+ countries and regions, including the Chinese mainland, Pakistan, Denmark, and Argentina. Discover how donuts became a U.S. obsession, why Iceland’s kleina pastry sparks joy, and how India’s gulab jamun dances between syrup and spice .

‘It’s about more than recipes,’ says the show’s trailer. ‘Sugar tells stories—of traditions, innovation, and the shared cravings that connect us all.’

Mark your calendars: The series premieres March 29. Will your favorite dessert make the cut?
