Synopsis
Liam D'Arcy Brown sets out to be the first Westerner in modern times to travel the length of China's great wonder, the Grand Canal. During his journey, he attempts to reconcile the China which fascinated him as a child with the modern, more open China he sees now. Bribing and talking his way onto the enourmous barges that carry bulk building materials for China's rapid modernisation, he follows the world's longest man-made canal, chugging through a list of characters and historical but forgotten sites from China s anscient past. The Emperor's River provides an intriguing insight into a side of China seldom seen.
