- Synopsis
Twenty-seven years ago at the age of 39, the American photographer Peter Sherman Crosby made an unforgettable expedition through China's interior, cycling solo between Beijing and Hong Kong.
In 2017, Peter decided to return to the Chinese capital and repeat what he had thought would be a once-in-a-lifetime biking experience. Eight provinces and nearly 4,000 kilometers lie between him and his final destination on the southern coast as he retraces his original route.
In 2021, at age 66, he completed his return to the belly of the dragon bicycling adventure as the 4-part series on China Global TV Network (CGTN) - "Cycling China with Peter Crosby" - soon to also be broadcast on National Geographic TV.
