You guys have a lot of talent. Frankly I was surprised halfway through the first episode when I discovered you were independent from any of the major production corporations. In fact this series was probably superior to most of the stuff that comes out of BBC or Nat Geo. Everything from the substantive narration to the visual cinematography to the editing and music was on point. I hope you make a lot more of these types of documentaries.

Graeme, I am of Chinese ancestry from Guangdong province, born in Hong Kong, and have been living in Toronto, Canada for over 4 decades. Your Chinese Silk Road 3-episode series is extremely informative and entertaining. You and Chian Wang had taken the time to delve into the history and culture of each stop along your route, thereby adding context to your narrative. I agree wholeheartedly with some of the remarks here, the quality of your videos are comparable to productions from the BBC, National Geographic or The Discovery Channel. Keep up the great work!

I was DELIGHTED watching the 3 episodes. Your narrative is entertaining...you are very talented, keep up the EXCELENT work. Had learned a lot today.

Awesome and unbiased documentary. For a person from Indian subcontinent, where weathering erased most of the ancient monuments and history drowned the ancient traditions, preservation of old and continuity of traditions in China is very appealing. The focus of this documentary on continuity of cultural heritage is greatly appreciated. Best wishes,

I originally watched these episodes for an assignment from school but I ended up completely forgeting about the assignment because I was enjoying watching these so much.

I never knew how diverse is China. Great people!

Delightful and informative. The silk road will continue till eternity.

What??!! There is no more??!! I was looking forward to seeing you tracing the silk road all the way through to Europe!! Do you have any plans to continue your journey from here to finish the entire silk road? Thoroughly enjoyed your videos.

Thanks a lot for this great documentary. I could really feel and smell the place.

I am blowing up how professional the documentary is

My wife and I will be traveling the Silk Road from Xi'an to Kashgar next month. Very glad to come across your work here. I've learned so much that I know will really enhance our experience.

There are not enough words for such amazing documentary. The three videos are so beautiful.Thank you for offering us this free ticket through our screens to the one of the most famous journeys of history.I already watched your videos not just once but many times and believe me I will again.I wish my trip was longer.

My 6th grade ancient history classes enjoyed their "visit" to the Silk Road. It was a welcome break from our textbook. Thanks for making history come alive!

My son is in Xi'an today and I stumbled across your videos! Thoroughly enjoyed them all. You are a natural and I truly wish you all the best for the future. I expect to see you on the BBC one day as you are the fresh young face of the future - they need you!! Well done - brilliant x

Graeme that was fantastic!!! The quality, the content, the presentation. Well done! 👍👍👍👍👍

Enjoyed the 3 episodes in one go. ♥️ from Belgium.

I finished all tree episodes and I can say that this is very well done documentary, better than any BBC or Nat Geo documentary that I watched, thank u for showing us this beautiful journey!

Outstanding documentary! Can't believe this doesn't have millions of views yet. Now I really want to see a series covering the whole route from China to Europe.

Graeame Lankford, you have produced something brilliant, something that will last for ages. Bravo!

This is a wonderful and amazing documentary. Please continue on and give us the Middle East and European parts of the Silk Road as well!

I am teaching an elementary course on the Eastern Hemisphere which is sadly lacking in visuals. Your series was so beautiful and informative. Thank you for all you put into this. The kids insisted on watching all three videos together!.

Graeme you are one lucky guy also you seem to have the face and the persona to travel on this humble expedition This video has definitely created an adventure for my future travel and thank you for such a great video I hope you make as many videos and travel as many countries as you can best wishes and good luck from Bristol UK

Thank you for all the work on the documentary. I often wondered about the Silk Road & this gave the knowledge I needed so long.

Thanks these episodes are great. Greetings from an oversea chinese in the Netherlands!!

this is the best documentary I have seen, thank you for your clear speaking voice and not overpowering everything with music. You delivered such a lot of information the whole way through. And thank you for not spinning the camera around so fast that it makes one dizzy. I look forward to more docos from you, best wishes

Watched all 3 parts... Well done...👍🏻👍🏻

great documentary that throws an entirely new perspective of central and western china. Amazing history and melting pot of so many cultures

I made my family n kids watch the whole series.. Thank you Graeme!!

it is absolutely great work and I really enjoyed it! I am from the very south of China, it is a shame never been to any silk road cities, I really would like to travel through again the silk road route in the future. Thanks again for the inspiring work. I will be thrilled if you guys are having plan continuing the journey to the west:)

Congratulations for the documentary. It was light to watch and took my attention all the time. Greetings from Brazil.

really excellent work! I'm going to use your videos for my presentation on Silk Road. Thank you

The best videos, Graeme. We need more. You will be missed! Thanks

Well done Graeme. I have been visiting China since 2001 for two, three months every year and I have never seen The Silk Road as you have shown it, Thank you for a great series.​

Mr Langford and Mr Wang this series is of BBC or PBS quality. Kudos to everyone involved in this production ; in front of and/or behind the camera. Just stupendous in so many areas😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Great Documentary , As fine of a production as PBS ,Discovery channel and even National Geographic’s . You my friend may be the next David Attenborough

Since the first episode, i was thinking, is this guys from discovery channel? Yet, seen his subs, dear you deserve more. Im living in china now. Since junior high school i dreamt about going to the silk road. I'll stay here for 3,5 year more. I'll spend my last year to have this journey too with my husband next.

Thank you very much for this professional documentary!

Great videos! Looking forward to more of them. Keep up the good work. Subscribed!

Fantastic. Now I know a little bit more about the Silk Road.

Awesome job! Wish you could get it subtitled into Uyghur and show it to the guest stars, I believe they'd feel very glad and moved by the finished work. As a student in China I also had the opportunity to travel along a good part of the Silk Road in several trips by Fall-Winter 2015-16. Although I couldn't manage to reach to Xinjiang, which I always wanted, It was an unforgettable experience. I regard all of these places with deep nostalgia and after watching this I feel an intense need of a comeback

Wonderful, informative, sumptuous journey you have brought among the viewers. More! . . . Thank you!😊

Interesting look at an area that few would have seen.

Great, great series, Graeme! This is so touching, literally, brought me to tears. Loved every bit of it, the scenery, the streets, the conversations, the people... Thank you for making such a great film of the beautiful, diverse life and culture of northwestern China which I myself as a Chinese haven't experienced so far.

All 3 episodes r good to know.specially hand made noodals,craft market,camal ride,buddha stachue,embroydary work by woman,market place.everything good n meet n clean.i m impress

Thank you so much for such a beautiful exposure of beautiful Chinese culture of Silk Road !!!

Beautifully done though it is just surface. As a Han Chinese raised in Urumqi and live in NYC, I always get excited when seeing something about Xinjiang, the motherland

Beautifully done. I was slowly losing interest in learning and cherishing the history and traditions of different cultures, but watching these videos made me realize how much I truly love it and how important and enriching it is. Incredible job!

Never been to XJ but definitely high on my travel bucket list! Thank you for the video. No China bashing and just your discovery of what was the ancient silk road.

He is more like a tour guide than explaining the history of the silk road.

Thanks for the wonderful information on the silk road, you have covered all the major details.I being a history teacher learnt a lot

You guys made a great job! I've always found that the impact of the Silk Road on various cultures is just unbelievable. You showed us again its results still can be seen in local people's lives. Greetings from Istanbul where Silk Road finally meets Europe!

great work. very educative & also very informative. wait for next.... 😊😊 👌👌👍👍

FANTASTIC!!! Thank you for having us watching this beautiful masterpiece which widens our perspective and balances out our opinions towards current critical issues. The messages are very neutral with heartwarming ambience. Again, thank you! Good day to you and team :) - greetings from Indonesia.

Please do more vlogs, I like the good balance between visuals and narratives regarding silk road, very informative.

Splendid work...I was not able to get up before finishing all the 3 episodes of your journey. Came here with a curiosity on Silk Route and it was worth watching your journey. I wish you would have made more episodes covering entire silk route from China to Europe and later sold such high quality celluloid to global platforms like Netflix or Amazon.

Finally a documentary worth watching. I think we can agree that most of us here are sick of major news and doc channels and their biased old condescending ways of dealing with non western cultures. I command you on your beautiful work.

I enjoyed your series. You captured the locals with their eyes and when they talked about what they felt so proud of. I loved exploring the old cities: the preservation of buildings and the people living there. You covered such a variety of topics: the food, the music, the goods, the stories. Your Mandarin is very decent.

OMG I love the open market in Kashgar. Thank you so much for the excellent video.

Excellent documentary!

Utterly amazing. Nice balance as Graham does not dominate or seek attention. Great presenter, lovely composition.

Professional level documentary!!! Better than some big production companies, most importantly it is not bias and deceive.

Worth a prize. Excellent. Very well timed and written. Thanks.

Kashgar old town is so beautiful!

Thoroughly enjoyed all 3 videos!!!! Thank u so much. I now wanna go visit each city

Loved every second ! Amazing :)

Loved the series!!

Thank you sir, for showing me the beautiful place of Islamic culture in China. Salam from Indonesia.

So beautifully made, gentlemen. Thank you.

Great videos. Really enjoy them

I have thoroughly enjoyed your documentary! The cinematography, the story telling, everything is amazing! I didn't want it to end! Learned so much! Thank you for making this wonderful videos. Please someday , if you can, do a video of the whole silk route, to the European parts as well.

Silk Road is one of my bucket list .

This is amazing quality! I really hope you do more in the future!

Thank you for the very excellent videos, could have wished for more but you do not tire us with too many words, your speech is so clear and without stress, I am most pleased to have found these 3 episodes. I love visiting China and the places you covered after Xi'an are not really that accessible so it was good to get there with you both. Keep up the good work!

@graeme You are a profoundly gifted storyteller. Thank you for this series. I've profoundly enjoyed the experience of watching them.

fantastic & fascinating... great documentary... all 3..

Educational, Informative, and Professionally executed documentary ! Thank you.
