Features: On October 2, 2005, the replica of the ancient Swedish sailing ship G?teborg set sail from Gothenburg Harbor, heading toward the distant land of China. This was a romantic journey, as a two-century-old vessel was faithfully reconstructed. She would follow the same as the original and sail toward the land where the sun rises. This was an adventure, with her three masts fully set with sails, and her wooden, streamlined hull ready to face the of the sea. This was a journey of friendship, as she would visit five countries across five continents before revisiting her old friend—China. Deng Wu and Shen Guanghua, two special correspondents for China Central Television's "Exploration and Discovery" program, followed this voyage in its entirety. They documented this romantic, thrilling, and interesting dream journey with vivid words and stunning photography.
