CHINESE MAINLAND
GBA Walks
We take a road trip from Chengdu into the mountains of Sichuan to discover glaciers, four sisters and some pandas.
Great Wall Walks
The Great Wall Walks is a series of eight walks along the 14th Century Ming Wall that will take you from the North Korea border in Dandong right into the heart of the Gobi Desert.
Northern Yunnan Walks
Nestled between the Tibetan Plateau and the deep gorges of the Yangtze and Mekong rivers is one of China’s most spectacular outdoor adventure destinations — Northern Yunnan.
Chongli Skiing
Whether it is taking on Olympic slopes or snowboarding along the Great Wall, China’s number one ski destination has a lot to offer. Of the 697 ski resorts currently listed in China, there is one area that is quickly gaining an international reputation.
Jilin Skiing
Nestled in northeastern China, Jilin Province has become one of China’s top ski destinations. It’s cold but not as cold as Heilongjiang, easier to get to than Xinjiang, and has more reliable snowfall than Chongli, making it a great all-round bet for skiing in China.
Guizhou Activities
There is much to discover in this mountainous province. Often upstaged by its better-known neighbor Guangxi we highly rate this trip to escape the tourists and get into the mountains of China.
Shangri-La Trail
Drone and Phone set off to southwest China in search of the elusive Shangri-La. Taking a cue from links between the book Lost Horizon, and Joseph Rock’s travel stories published in National Geographic, we embark on an arduous quest. Could the mythical place be based on Muli in Sichuan?
Sichuan Activities
Drone and Phone takes a road trip from Chengdu into the mountains of Sichuan to discover glaciers, four sisters and some pandas.
Yang Shau Activities
China is famous for its Karst Mountains and there are no finer examples than here in Yang Shau. We spend five episodes exploring a number of activities you can do here in what must be one of the country’s most picturesque regions.
Zhaoqing Activities
Just a one and half hour train ride from Hong Kong, Zhaoqing boasts some of the best mountains in the Greater Bay Area. Here we suggest five great days out in the region.
