Paul Merton reveals the mysteries of China to British viewers in this new four-part travel documentary series. He will be casting a wryly observant eye on the new cultural revolution taking place in China as he explores a country that is home to one in four human beings on the planet and has the fastest growing economy in the world. Each episode will see Merton giving his unique take on this vast country that is still associated in people’s minds with Chairman Mao and The Great Wall.
This week Paul travels through rural China to the famed Shaolin Temple, where he endures the physical demands of Kung Fu training. He then moves onto the Tibetan Monastery of Labrang, and finds some spiritual peace in the sight and sounds of Buddhist monks. He switches pace when he visits Chongqing, the largest municipality in the world.
