Welcome to China Icons’ first ever 4K video, and what a subject to start on!
The UK is the latest country to ‘get connected’ to China’s latest global innovation, the One Belt One Road Initiative. It’s a rejuvenation of the ancient, 2,000 year-old Silk Road, arguably made famous by the traveller and explorer Marco Polo. China and the UK are now connected via one of the most innovative rail links in the world.
Join us as we travel 12,000 km to the other side of the globe from London in the UK to Yiwu on the eastern edge of China.
From electronic equipment to toys and games, the train will be transporting almost anything you could possibly think of.
Find out what it takes to launch one of the most ambitious projects the world has ever seen and re-live the celebrations in London as the train departs to Yiwu.
