Description
Rob Lilwall's extraordinary six-month journey takes him on a 5000-kilometre trek across China, from the Gobi Desert to the South China Sea. Along the way, he and his cameraman face numerous challenges, including the treacherous terrain, sub-zero blizzards, and the complexities of Chinese culture. Despite the hardships, Lilwall finds himself drawn into the lives of the people he meets, from cave dwellers to coal miners and desert nomads. He reflects on the nature of pilgrimage and the uncertainties of an adventuring career, offering a unique insight into life on the road in China. Through his humour and honesty, Lilwall shares his experiences of walking through the heart of China, exploring the epic landscapes and rapidly industrialising cities of backwater China.
