Milestone #94 of the global Out of Eden Walk—in northeast #China: It was a lonely farm road & all living things—farmers, roosters—had taken shelter from the brittle cold. Only we were outside. But it was alright. We had each other. outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/milestones/202…
During my 4,200-mile trek across #China, I often crossed the route of #Mao's 1930s Long March, the epic retreat of the Red Army during China's civil war; it was hard not to wonder, in these volatile times, where the country was headed next. @natgeo nationalgeographic.com/history/articl…
Readers ask about favorite walked horizons on the Out of Eden Walk. Comparing landscapes on a 25K-mile trek is like comparing friends: You love them for different reasons. But the sky-hammered deserts of #Mangystau, in #Kazakhstan, recur often in my dreams. outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/articles/2016-…
“Some places barely offer up a passing word. Others are layered with the whispers of feet and time. China is like this, a densely narrated landscape.” — Paul Salopek in National Geographic Magazine ✍️ Read here: outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/articles/2024-… 📷 Photo by JohnStanmeyer National Geographic Society National Geographic Magazine

Last Out of Eden Walk Milestone in #China: With walking partners on the waterfront of #Dali, in #Liaoning province--a historic gateway to the outside world, and my exit door after more than 2 years and 6000 km (4200 miles) of pacing off the Middle Kingdom. outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/milestones/202…
Walk from #Ethiopia to #China in 3:34-thanks to mapmakers at Harvard CGA. This animation of the Out of Eden Walk spans 19 nations & 15,582 miles. Spot 3 small "gaps" in the trail: 1 at the tense #AfPak border & another 2 in #Burma & #China imposed by Covid. vimeo.com/1004482785

I’m still processing the 6700-km walk across #China: a 2-year-long trail into the hearts of strangers as much as through seven provinces. I bow in gratitude to my family of walking partners in China who made it all possible. 深深地感谢你 Out of Eden Walk outofedenwalk.nationalgeographic.org/articles/2024-…

In China's southern province of Yunnan, a community known as the Bai expresses itself mostly by singing. #NatGeoExplorer Paul Salopek talks about his time with the Bai community and an early 20th century botanist and explorer who traveled the same region. bit.ly/3Zh0xmE
