What makes China so unique? How has China’s rapid changes over the past 20 years affected its minority cultures far removed from the urban landscape? ‘China: Off the Beaten Track’ seeks to answer these questions by taking you to ancient cities and almost-forgotten villages. There you will discover minority cultures untouched by China’s modernization and observe each culture’s unique food, ancient traditions, and distinct arts and crafts. Each episode also offers directions on how to reach these hidden treasures of China’s past so you too can experience life in China off the beaten track.
