Ben Fogle in China

Ben Fogle embarks on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to China to see its staggering sights, meet its biggest characters, go beyond the stereotypes and discover its true story. Ben delves into an epic 3000-year tale of how China got to now – how centuries of Imperial rule gave way to Communist revolution and the breakneck economic transformation of recent years.

From ancient temples to mega-factories and glittering modern cities, Ben is on a mission to get under the skin of China - how it sees itself in the world and how it's shaping the future for us all. But above all it's a journey of wonder amid the amazing visual splendour of the real China today.
