The Yangtze
Season 1 Episode 3 of 3
The adventurer travels to China for a trip along the Yangtze, Asia's longest river and the third longest in the world. He follows the route to Dazu, where he sees 50,000 ancient rock carvings, some of the only religious artefacts not to have been destroyed under communist rule. He then takes a river cruise to the Three Gorges Dam - the biggest power station on the planet - before ending his journey in Shanghai, a shining symbol of China's new economic might and a city where many are rediscovering religious faith
