Only heard of this game, never actually played it. What made this frog game so popular all of a sudden though?
I'd say it's the feeling it gave. This game makes a parent out of you. You can determine where your frog goes to a certain extent by using specific items, and there are several kinds of food that'll make him stay out longer. Other than that, it's completely random. You don't control your frog, and he has a mind of his own. It's like waiting for your kid to go on a trip, all you can do is just pack his bags. When he is minding his own business at home, you will wish he could go out there and make some friends. When he is travelling out there, you will start to worry about him and want to see him come back soon.

Oh so THAT's the 'THAT green hat' they meant.
Frog is also a reference to a former national leader of China which is seen as being more open than the current government and that added viral factor to the game's spread within mainland China.
Travelling Mokou
Travelling Frog is currently one of the most popular mobile games in China. So popular that the developer decided to make a Simplified Chinese language patch in the future.
