China is moving toward the center of the world stage. This journey goes around the world to find out why.

A 26-city documentary series. An American host travels the world’s great cities to find China — in their history, their art, their memory.

The Journey

Twenty-six cities. One full year. Each episode enters one important world city.

Told in English, with Chinese-language versions to follow.

Beijing
Five thousand years of civilization and modern China appear here at once.
Shanghai
A city where China and the world meet, trade, and imagine the future.
Chongqing
A mountain city, a river city, and a new world scale taking form.
And twenty-three more →
Twenty-six cities. One extraordinary year.
Civilization in Place

Every episode finds one place where the connection is physical — a building, an object, an encounter. Not the most luxurious place. The one that shows the most.

“The story chooses the place.”
