Travel Tape   /     The Showdown: Hadrian's Wall v The Great Wall

Description

If the two most famous walls from the ancient era entered the arena to duke it out, which would remain standing at the end? In this somewhat tongue-in-cheek episode of Travel Tape, I follow a mixed Chinese-English family as they walk the green, wet English countryside along the length of Hadrian's Wall Path. Six-year-old Yoyo McCrohan is leading the pack, and she has lots of opinions about Hadrian's, especially how it stands up in comparison to the section of the Great Wall near her house in Beijing, China. This is a stand-alone episode with an immersive soundscape recorded on the spot in England. Links: Daniel McCrohan Trailblazer Guide to Hadrian's Wall Path Official Site for Hadrian's Wall Path
