In this episode, Mexican traveler Juan Carlos Cheang Guzmán and CGTN host Julian Waghann from the United States head to Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, some 200 kilometers northwest of Beijing, to discover how its land and people are reshaping rural life.

Known for its mountains, wide-open highlands and vibrant outdoor culture, Zhangjiakou gained global attention as a host city of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Across four chapters – Pulse, Roots, Legacy and Renewal – they venture beyond the city's Olympic legacy and into the countryside, getting their hands in the soil, learning traditional crafts and sharing everyday meals with local residents. Along the way, they uncover a side of rural China where heritage meets new ideas, and where the people, landscapes and traditions are creating new possibilities for life in the countryside.
