Listening:

• Dramas: 鬼吹灯之精绝古城
  

Based on the books with the same name. It's well produced (for a Chinese drama) and quite fun. It's set in the 80s if I remember correctly. The language is not that hard, but because of the topic (grave robbing basically) some specific vocabulary gets used. The main characters speak in a northern/Beijing accent. But there a others, like the guide in the desert for example, that have other accents.
