THREE MOMENTS FROM THIS THEME
What it actually looks like
1
Sleep in a 600-year-old Hakka tulou
These circular earthen fortresses house entire clans. You will share dinner with the family that has lived here since the Ming dynasty, then sleep in a room above the ancestral hall.
2
Ride the last steam train through Sichuan's Jiayang coalfields
One of the world's few remaining narrow-gauge steam railways. It chugs through terraced hillsides and rape-flower fields. The coal is gone, but the train still runs — for now.
3
Join a Sunday market in a Yunnan border town
Hill-tribe traders descend from the mountains with medicinal herbs, hand-woven textiles, and silver jewelry. Your guide translates the negotiations, the jokes, and the stories behind each piece.
