Walking on the Great Wall of China: it's an experience of a lifetime. But for one man and one woman the Great Wall was to be so much more. Matchmaking. Life changing. Unfolding as a lifetime of experiences.
In this extraordinary Great Wall reality story, William Lindesay relives three decades of his China life with Beautiful Jade. He experiences the Wall as a vast theatre for exploration and adventure. Together they adopt it as their cause for conservation. As a family the Lindesays create their unique WildWall lifestyle beside it.
Exhilarating and humorous, frank and soulful, Great Wall, Beautiful Jade:My China Loves is an uplifting and inspirational account of a couple’s odyssey, their love for the Great Wall and the spirit of China that it embodies.
