The Silk Road

Season 1 Episode 2: A Thousand Kilometers Beyond the Yellow River

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.
