Laojun Mountain: Rock Climbing in Splendid Seclusion (Yunnan: The China You Never Knew, episode 8)

Jordan heads to the gates of one of China's first national parks for some seriously ambitious rock climbing.

Come along as he explores one of the most unique places in the entire country and goes sport climbing with Reuben Greenbank.

Laojun Mountain and the town of Liming offer up the best crags and cliffs to climb anywhere in China. Along the way, Jordan also finds time to learn about local cultures, visit 'the first bend in the Yangtze River' and revel in the tranquility of this little-visited corner of Yunnan.
