Follow along this amazing journey - start at the beginning by clicking on the week/day numbers on the bottom of the map on the blog's home page.
For centuries, China’s remote interior has churned with war, revolution, growth and collapse. Today, inland China is churning again. With the help of Chinese guide Zhang Xiaoguang, correspondent Evan Osnos and photographer Wes Pope are walking a stretch of inland China to discover what it is today and what lies ahead for China’s Heartland. Along the way, they will answer your questions in English and post some features in Mandarin, thanks to news assistant Lu Jingxian in Beijing.
