In The Footsteps Of Marco Polo

Stanley Johnson - author, environmentalist, and father of ex-PM Boris Johnson – and his youngest son Max set off from China’s far western border with Pakistan to undertake an epic 5,000km journey down the Silk Road. Following the trade route taken by Marco Polo 700 years ago, Stanley and Max’s seven week journey reflects on both ancient and modern China as they weave a path through what was the Yuan Dynasty’s land, ruled by Emperor Kublai Khan and to the capital city of Dadu, now known as Beijing. Stanley and Max throw themselves into every adventure along the way, embrace every encounter and share an unforgettable – and often hilarious – experience that brings them closer together and unites them in their love for Chinese culture. IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF MARCO POLO is a perfect blend of history, adventure, and a father and son’s once-in-a-lifetime journey.
