I love Pilot Guides. Actually, I love travel documentaries in general. I guess if I am not actually traveling I prefer to armchair travel.
Last night we watched an episode of Pilot Guides about Central China, covering Shanghai to Xi’an and the Yangtze River. I am so glad we saw it. Not knowing much about China, it was great to see Shanghai and the countryside was so beautiful. In the episode, the host also traveled down the Yangtze River and then up one of its tributaries. I guess all of that will be gone when the Three Gorges Dam is finally finished. The program shattered some of our preconceptions; we were shocked by how modern it seemed in many places. I think I was picturing something more like San José. (Costa Rica) I am more excited than ever!!
Here’s a question: Didn’t Pilot Guides used to be Lonely Planet? And why did it change? And was it once also called Globe Trekker?
