Has anyone ever found any good website with Chinese articles/interviews providing both audio and text? Obviously LingQ has some, but I mean something like the Russian website Echo Moskvi, where the content is advanced, and is updated all the time, and you basically have years worth of material lol.
I am interested in all topics (science, politics, religion, culture), so anything will do
Welcome to the club of those always desperately looking for new compelling Chinese content
Honestly, most of what I do for importing content is finding stuff on YouTube, Youku, or other video sites. I have a personal transcriber who I hire if the video doesnāt already have subtitles, sheās awesome.
I also buy physical books off of eBay/Amazon and import them into LingQ by using Google Translate OCR, and then I hire somebody to record the audio if I really want it (but this can get expensive so usually I wonāt).
Iāll share one site I know that many people share that really helped me get off the ground in Chinese, but is now too boring for me to care about anymore (I prefer dialogues or other topics rather than news read in a monotone voice).

A graded news site with both audio and text - it is possible to import these to LingQ.
Can consider watching China dramas, not a lot of apps / sites have english subtitles to accompany the videos. Thatās how I learn quickly, itās fun and also learn quickly for conversational terms. I recommend using Vidfish app.
I am also looking for more Chinese content - especially books (not online amateur fiction) and podcasts with or without audio. There are some decent sites out there, but its the usual suspects translated from English (Sherlock Holmes etc) which doesnāt interest me too much in Chinese.
You can go to http://www.dangdang.com/ to look for Chinese books you like. Use the ātranslate to Englishā option of Chrome if you struggle with the website (as I still do). If you find a book you like, you can buy the ebook. I found audio clips for the ebook I was reading on Ximalaya.com. Those clips do not cover all the book, but around 80% or so. So, I read some chapters with and some without audio.
you can google or baidu (baidu.com) ēµå书 (ebook) , (audiobook) and both. You should find a lot.
You can play audio files on Ximalaya.com and use google translator on your phone to record and audio-to-text the audio. This is a bit cumbersome as google translator in my experience often only captures 10 seconds at a time. So, you would have to piece together hundreds of 1-2 line segments later onā¦
