Movie Reviews of Globe Trekker: Ultimate China (Double DVD contains 3 episodes!)
Movie Review: Awesome intro to China
Summary: 5 Stars
I am planning a trip to China and have been trying to learn more about the people and the culture of China and found this to be an excellent source!! The discs contain 3 different episodes dealing with different regions of China. The first 2 were excellent and they interact with the locals and try local foods. They go beyond the big cities and into the heart of China and parts of the country most people will never see. I was a little disappointed with the third episode but all in all found it well worth watching if you are interested in China and Chinese culture today.
