A fascinating three-part series in which we accompany Joanna Lumley on this most romantic, epic rail journey, from Hong Kong to Moscow, via China and Mongolia. Starting in Hong Kong, a city Joanna lived in as a child when it was still a powerful Western enclave rather than the strong symbol of Chinese capitalism it is today, it’s a journey of nearly 6,000 miles. The dynamic and varied route encompasses two immense super powers which, while steeped in evocative history, are alsonations still in the throws of radical change. Joanna explores, with her signature charm, intelligence and humour, vibrant cities, life affirming open spaces and natural wonders and along the way meets a remarkable range of extraordinary characters.
