Episode 1
In this episode, Ben dives headfirst into the living history, culture and fast-paced modern life of China, from the ancient Great Wall to the bustling streets of Shanghai.
He begins at the Jiankou section of the Great Wall, joining a team dedicated to rebuilding it in its original 17th-century style. After a shaky start setting new stones in this iconic ancient monument, Ben impresses his mentor and gains a deeper understanding of what the Wall has meant to generations of Chinese, both as a physical fortress and a symbol of endurance.
Back in Beijing, Ben experiences the city through its people and its incredible bustling parks. Firstly discovering a group of energetic grannies performing graceful public dances, he joins in himself and uncovers the roots of this communal activity in the early years of communist China.
Episode 2
In this episode, Ben goes deep into rural China's epic story, embarking on a journey of wonder across Sichuan and Yunnan, exploring how China's deep traditions continue to shape life in a country racing towards the future.
He begins at Qingcheng Mountain, the birthplace of Taoism, where a 36th-generation Kung Fu master introduces him to the philosophy and practice of tai chi. From there, he heads into the Sichuan countryside in search of China's most treasured national symbol: the giant panda. At a rarely seen panda rewilding programme, Ben gains unique access to efforts aimed at returning these iconic animals to the wild – but only if he and the crew dress as pandas themselves.
Episode 3
The final episode in this three-part journey through China begins in Shenzhen, the country's Silicon Valley, where Ben witnesses a breathtaking nighttime drone display. He also marvels as 40 of the city's skyscrapers blaze to life, illuminated by 40 million LEDs.
