Under has many faces, from arid deserts to lush rainforests. Explore the
cracks and crevices of Ayers Rock, and witness an ancient Aboriginal
ceremony. Take a fascinating step back in time when you visit Alice
Springs, from where most of the world's opals are mined. Get
subterranean at Coober Pedy, whose residents escape the heat by building
their homes and businesses underground. Not all of Australia is barren
and forbidden. The Great Barrier Reef, the largest living organism on
planet Earth, is home to 1,500 species of fish.
Program 2: In the Middle Kingdom - Filled with
amazing wonders of 4,000 years of civilization, China is a fascinating
land of pagodas and palaces, imperial dynasties and modern political
upheaval. This program visits China's must-see sites as well as "the
parts that seem a little more untouched." Your itinerary includes the
Great Wall, the only man-made object on Earth that can be seen from
outer space; Beijing and its legendary attractions; the mysterious
Forbidden City, the Grand Canal, the Temple of Hell, where visitors take
good-natured "tests" to see if their souls are worthy of heaven, and
Hong Kong's breathtaking Victoria Park.
