The Yellow River - running for almost five and half thousand kilometres from west to east - is known as China's mother river. It's hailed as the cradle of Chinese civilisation and over thousands of years, it has fed billions of people and inspired generations of artists. Alastair explores the Yellow River and discovers some of the finest artwork from its valley, to understand how this unique natural phenomenon is deeply connected with the identity of the Chinese and the roots of their culture.
