How it feels

A Danish filmmaker travels to China in the 1980s using the Trans-Siberian Railway. He explores smaller towns and rural areas to see how accessible the country really is for travelers and to experience everyday life beyond the tourist spots.

What happens

Kina - Midt i en vandmelontid er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1987, der er instrueret af Lars Bjørndal. Hvor er forårsrullen? Er Kina blevet tilgængeligt for den rejsende? I 1984 skrev en fyr til en avis: 'I Kina er kun de mindre byer lukkede - risbonden ser man kun fra togvinduet'. Kunne det være rigtigt - stadigvæk? Med den transsibiriske jernbane blev en Kina-rejse til. En rejse for at opleve landsbyen - opleve en forårsrulle, der ikke lugtede af den lokale grill. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
