We are taking you with us to a Chinese village that used to be isolated from the world. They took matters into their own hands and dug and carved a tunnel with very basic tools. Their work spanned over three generations, totaling 30 years.

We also show you more of the unheard of city, Jincheng, in Shanxi province. We check out temples, a mountain, the local food, a night market, and MORE.

What shocked you the most about Jincheng, China?
