Marco Polo’s Roof of the World

Culture at the world’s greatest altitude… a Qinghai documentary.

Did Marco Polo really make it to China? Did he spend 17 years in the company of the Emperor Kublai Khan?

On his death bed he claimed, “I have only told you half of what I saw!” We believe him.

The famous Venetian explorer, traveled to China on the Silk Road across the Roof of the World, the source of the mighty Mekong, Yangtze and Yellow rivers. These legendary rivers have been the bloodline of the Chinese culture for over 5000 years.

Since time immemorial divine rituals and carnal sacrifices have been celebrated. Watch as nomads roam this vast and rugged land; its majestic beauty and mysterious remoteness is stunning. Revel in the sacred spirit and harmony of mankind and nature!
