In "The Glories of Ancient Chang-An," you'll visit the starting point of the Silk Road. 

Chang-An, the world's largest city in the seventh century, you'll see the incredibe clay army. Buried for almost 2,000 years, the discovery of these 6,000 statues is an archaeological triumph, and The Silk Road crew were the first foreigners allowed to photograph it.  

Thrill at the sculptures buried in the world's largest tomb.  And then, enter China's most hallowed Buddhist temple, and examine the hidden underground murals of a legendary princess, and walk the only man-made object visible from outer space, The Great Wall of China.

Glories of Ancient Chang-An

In "A Thousand Kilometers Beyond the Yellow River," you'll cross the Yellow River in a goat skin raft. Gaze in awe at the same giant Buddha that Marco Polo saw 700 years ago. 

Look with amazement at the giant water wheels that irrigate miles of Chinese croplands, and visit the secret caves of Bing Lui Si, never before photographed by a television crew.

Then, transverse the Forbidden Corridor between the mountains and the Gobi Desert, where the Huns battled the Chinese for control over the most prized horses in the world.
