Conquering Northern China

Winston Sterzel and Matthew Tye begin their epic adventure in Shandong Province, starting in former German concession, Qingdao. They taste a bizarre, wriggly local speciality; explore hidden war tunnels and head to a sleepy seaside village, famous for its seaweed-roofed cottages.

Winston Sterzel and Matthew Tye rack up the miles as they travel across Liaoning and Jilin Provinces. They spend the night in a themed sex hotel, explore one of China’s most famous ghost cities; tread carefully around the North Korean border and learn about a traditional North Korean alcohol.

Things suddenly turn very Russian as Winston Sterzel and Matthew Tye stop off in the capital of Heilongjiang province, Harbin. From there, they venture into the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia, herding camels and building their very own Mongolian yurt.

Winston Sterzel and Matthew Tye learn how Mongolians cook goats in their own skins, get serenaded by locals on the China/Russian border; drink themselves merry with the reindeer herding Ewenki people, and finally complete their journey at China’s northernmost point.
