[edit] Meaning of Title in Chinese
The meaning of the title in Chinese is "Onward to the World", which gives a sense of the start of a journey to different parts of the globe, experiencing different cultures and customs.
[edit] Premise
The show differs from the typical travel series produced by TVB, as it deals mainly with philosophical and life issues, rather than sightseeing and entertainment. The show would use a particular location's social life or struggles to bring out the intended topic for a particular arc.
Although rival television station ATV has made travel series based on relatively the same premises, this is the first time a series based on this genre received high ratings, mainly due to the dominant ratings advantage TVB has enjoyed since the advent of television broadcasting in Hong Kong.
