Three Gorges Dam
The brothers take a journey on the world's third longest river, the Yangtze. Peter and Jeff grew up near the Yangtze and now they are returning to this part of the river known as the Three Gorges to get one last look before this land is consumed by the rising waters. The Chinese government is building the world's biggest dam on the Yangtze in this region and iIt will displace millions of people from theirs homes and a way of life they have always known.
Ice City
Peter and Jeff revisit the cold, Communist city of their youth: Harbin. What they find is a vibrant commercial city that has come to embrace its icy heritage. The brothers will also embrace the ice (quite literally) as they swim in icy waters, make an ice sculpture, race down an ice slide and drink in a bar made of ice.
Going Local
Peter and Jeff visit the Chinese province of Yunnan. Yunnan is province with largest diversity in all of China, with 25 different minorities. To learn about these different minorities, the brothers visit the National Ethnic Minorities Park and soon discover that to really understand the cultures of these people, they will need to visit them in their native villages.
Kicked Out of Gansu
Peter and Jeff visit with the Buddhist monks of China. In Ganzu, they will be the first westerners to film inside the yellow hat Tibetan monks' temple before visiting the red hat and Ban sects. In Yunnan, Pete and Jeff visit the rainforest and temples of the Dai Buddhists. They finish their journey at a graceful and explosive Dai ceremony.
Beijing Boom
Peter and Jeff visit the capital of Beijing, where they seek to compare the old and new traditions in this rapidly changing nation. They join a punk band, play Ping-Pong with a member of the Communist Youth League and compare a traditional hutong neighborhood to a modern skyscraper under construction. Then it is off to Inner Mongolia, where the people's way of life has gone relatively unchanged for centuries.
