Lost in China Episode Rating Graph

Jeff and Peter Hutchens begin their journey through China in the city of Kashgar. Located near the only passes through the nearly impassible Pamir mountains, Kashgar was the last stop before starting out on the 'the Silk Road' to western markets. In Kashgar, they barter for hats in the market, obtain a Uyghar knive, attend a cock-fight, celebrate the Muslim holiday of Ramada, and even eat goats head! On the Silk Road, the brothers buy silks, hunt for precious white jade, ride a camel caravan through the desert, and play a version of polo with a goats head.

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.

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.
