剧情介绍
Anita Rani and Justin Rowlatt embark on two epic car journeys across China, navigating congested cities and winding mountain roads, to explore how the country's economic growth, symbolised by its booming car industry, is affecting people's lives.
In the first programme, Anita takes the high road through the rich, industrialised cities of the east, driving a Great Wall Haval, the best-selling 4X4 in China. This is the land of billionaires with fleets of super cars, of imitation French chateaux and of high-tech solar hotels. She cruises Beijing with the moneyed young members of the China Supercar club and joins a convoy of 'self-drive' holiday makers on a trip to sacred Mount Tai.
Meanwhile, Justin drives a 'bread van', the loaf-shaped workhorse of the countryside, through China's poor rural hinterland, and discovers that here donkeys are often more common than cars. He visits the 'ghost city' of Ordos and puts his bread van through its paces on China's second-biggest racing track. He joins the Red Tourism trail in Yan'an, the cradle of Mao's communist revolution, and finds himself in the firing line during a dramatic civil war battle re-enactment.
On the first leg of their journey, Anita and Justin discover a country that has developed rapidly, raising millions out of poverty. Yet it faces important challenges that may affect us all: a potential property bubble, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and growing inequality.

有点水的纪录片 和印度一样两条不同的路线 一条富裕一条贫困 还是最终两个主持人站在外滩看浦东时说的话最让人感慨啊 20年后中国一定是天翻地覆的变化

BBC的良心作,在对中国无论城市还是乡村,无论沿海还是内地的风光一饱眼福之余,还采访了很多人(有一些是软文广告哈)。夹杂了不少私活,所以上下两集中的下集干脆就被屏蔽河蟹了……(翻墙出去才下载到)。分成两条线路驾车的设定很好,有对比,很推荐~

本来觉得两条线路挺有趣,直到anita第二部里面大惊小怪的态度,时不时就说把西方的东西作为地位的象征,带着一种难以言说的优越态度
