Now as we all peak through our fingers at the gutsy adventurers trekking through India and China we opt instead for Wendy Wu’s Race Across the World.
We are, of course taking Wendy’s word for it and the Daughterie who is living vicariously through the travels and travels of Ying and Gaz.
Who we’re reliably informed helped the locals serve noodles in the ancient stilts town of Fenghuang.
Which Wendy helpfully informs us is front and centre of their Natural Treasures of China tour.
While Letitia and Elizabeth soak up China’s rural splendour with a bullet train journey through the karst limestone peaks of Guilin.
And again Wendy has that covered too on her China by Rail excursion.
Always helpful she adds that if you were as equally as mesmerised.
by the scenic Longji Rice Terraces, you have the option to hike through these landscapes on China: The Big One.
Out of this world
Of course if you’ve been hiding under a stone you won’t know what the RATW contestants’ challenge involves.
Well teams of two are required to dash across Asia.
From the Great Wall of China to the southern tip of India with no phones, limited funds, and zero comfort.
And the winners scoop up 20 big ones at the end.
Well, Race Across the World aren’t the only ones with a big giveaway.
With Wendy offering a partner fly free deal on China and India tours for this year and next.
And 50% off the price of your flights if you’re travelling solo.
And a saving of up to £350 per person.
Virtual reality
And if you’re feeling withdrawal symptoms between episodes then Wendy has a side dish which will keep you sated until your next fill.
Wendy Wu experts will be on hand on Wednesday 11th June at 3pm.
For a virtual journey following in the footsteps of this year’s racers, from the Great Wall of China to southern India!
Where they’ll tell you all you need to know about visiting these bucket list destinations.
And how you can experience it all at a leisurely pace with everything taken care of for you on our fully inclusive escorted tours.
Plus, you’ll be joined by some very special guests and previous winners to get all the behind the scenes gossip from Race Across the World!
