Anita Rani and Justin Rowlatt embark on two epic car journeys through China, traversing crowded cities and winding mountain roads, exploring how China's economic growth, symbolized by the thriving automotive industry, affects people's lives. In the first program, Anita drives China's best-selling four-wheel drive car, the Great Wall Haval, through wealthy industrialized cities in the east. This is a billionaire land with a supercar fleet, French castle replicas, and high-tech solar hotels. She and the rich young members of the China Super Sports Car Club were cruising in Beijing, and joined a team of "self driving" vacationers to travel to the holy Mount Taishan Mountain. At the same time, Justin drove a "van", the main bread shaped vehicle in rural areas, through the impoverished rural hinterland of China and found that donkeys were often more common than cars. He visited the "ghost city" of Ordos and had his van travel on the second largest racetrack in China. He joined the red tourism journey in Yan'an, which was the cradle of Mao Zedong's communist revolution. In a dramatic reenactment of the civil war, he found himself on the front line. On the first stop of their journey, Anita and Justin discovered a rapidly developing country that lifted millions out of poverty. However, it faces important challenges that may affect all of us: potential real estate foam, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and growing inequality.
