M6 launched the new season of Beijing Express this Thursday, February 10, which is called “In the Land of the Golden Eagle”. A season that took place in different countries of Central Asia, namely in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Jordan, for a final tour in Dubai (United Arab Emirates). It was this city that should have hosted the final of the previous season, before the course had to be changed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The first episode takes viewers to Kyrgyzstan.
A Muslim country “even if Islam registers a late arrival in the country” as the site says Kyrgyzstan travel. “Kyrgyz Islam of Sunni obedience is in the majority, followed by the Orthodox. This nomadic country, like Mongolia, has been able to integrate new beliefs while preserving the oldest traditions such as shamanism or Zoroastrianism”.
“There are approximately 65% of Muslims, a majority of whom are Uzbeks and 25% Orthodox who appeared with the arrival of the Russian population. Whatever the religion practiced, shamanism always has its place in nomadic beliefs and traditions. Since Independence in 1991, other religions imposed themselves timidly, which means that today we find Catholics, Protestants and some followers of Bahaism”.
Special shooting conditions
If the 2021 season was marked by the pandemic but also a fatal accident, the 2022 season was “very complicated”, said Stéphane Rotenberg at the microphone of Philippe Vandel. But less than the previous one. “Central Asia has been very little affected, because in general they are countries with very few populations, with large spaces”he continued. “And we have been tested, multi-tested”.
Moreover, the candidates will be seen with masks, during their visit to Dubai, where the health rules are stricter.
