The last season of the documentary series "The Forever Walk: China" will premiere on Tuesday as American adventurer Paul Salopek has reached the end of his over two-year journey — walking nearly 6,700 kilometers across China from southwest to northeast.

The season, spanning three episodes, follows Salopek trekking through the Lyuliang Mountains before visiting the Foguang Temple guided by a local archaeologist in Shanxi province. He then ventures into Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park alongside rangers tracking the Amur Tiger. Finally, Salopek gathers all the local companions who joined him throughout the trip and reviews the stories of their 6,700 km journey.

Together with the previous two seasons aired in 2022 and 2023, respectively, it documents how Salopek's cross-country trek in China began in September 2021 in Yunnan's Tengchong and concluded this May in Dalian. The documentary series has won a considerable following worldwide.

When Salopek arrived in China, he had already been walking for eight years on a quest to retrace the migration path of early humans by traversing four continents in more than a decade. The giant project commenced in Ethiopia in 2013 and is scheduled to end in Tierra del Fuego in South America. His China expedition is a part of this project.

Salopek and his partners have produced over 4,000 posts with photos, videos and writings in China to feed the worldwide followers.

Jointly produced by SMG's Documentary Center, National Geographic, and streaming platform BesTV, the new season will air Tuesdays at 10 pm on Dragon TV and BesTV. The National Geographic will also bring the documentary to hundreds of millions globally.
