In this episode, we follow Absalom Absalom, a traveler from Namibia, and Julian Waghann, a CGTN host from the United States, as they head to the countryside of Shunde in southern Guangdong to map out a custom rural route like no other. Across four chapters – Lineage, Spirit, Flow and Flavor – they uncover a thousand years of heritage, learn the lion dance and Wing Chun, row the waterways that nurtured generations, and taste the craft behind Shunde's world-famous cuisine. What they find is not a countryside left behind, but one reinvented – where culture, kung fu, water and flavor still thrive, waiting to be seen.
