In 2008, I walked through China - 1 year, 4500km. I let my hair and my beard grow. This is the resulting video. <br />Add me on FB: <br />▶ facebook.com/crehage on TW: <br />▶ twitter.com/crehage or drop by on my site: <br />▶ crehage.com <br /> <br />INFO: <br />▶ I never finished my original goal of walking to Germany. Instead, I walked for a year and roughly 4500km, passed the Gobi desert, and then decided to stop walking for now. <br />▶ All of the distance from Beijing to Ürümqi was completed solely on foot, straight good old walking. There are instances where you can see me in the video sitting on a plane or riding a boat, but those are during breaks I had to take from walking, either to sort out bureaucracy issues or to take care of some personal things. <br />▶ I had been planning this trip for over a year before I even started, and getting as far as I got was an experience for which I am very grateful. <br />▶ Obtaining the necessary visa for a trip like this was not very easy, hence I had to go back to Beijing a few times to resolve some issues. <br />▶ This is not a strict "1 pic a day" video, because I wanted to make it a bit more alive by adding some additional movement. Sometimes during the film you would follow me turn around, or something would happen in the background. I tried to capture these moments to make the video more interesting. <br />▶ If you liked the music I used in this video, get it here: The Kingpins - "L'Aventurier" bit.ly/RXOMaz Zhu Fengbo - "Olive Tree" bit.ly/UDsHT7 <br />▶ The core of this project is in actually my blog where I have posted my extensive travel diary, starting from day 1 (Nov 9th 2007) and describing every single day until the end one year later. <br />If you have any ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, please refer to: <br /> <br />▶▶▶ crehage.com/contact <br />or get the GOOGLE EARTH FILE here (1KB): <br />▶ thelongredline.com/TLW.kmz <br /> <br />AWARDS: <br />▶ 2009 Boulder Adventure Film Festival <br />▶ 2010 Berlin Webcuts <br />▶ 2010 Banff Mountain Film Festival <br />▶ 2011 Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival <br />▶ 2011 5th International Mountain Film Festival Domžale <br />▶ 2011 Squamish Mountain Festival <br />▶ 2011 Mezinárodný Festival Horských Filmov, Poprad <br />▶ 2011 Vertical Film Festival, Moscow <br />▶ 2009 TIME.COM #8 viral video <br /> <br />INSPIRATION: <br />▶ madandcrazychild (she takes a photo every day) <br />▶ NK5000 (Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years) <br />▶ mattharding2718 (Where the Hell is Matt? 2008) <br /> <br />CONNECT WITH ME: <br />▶OFFICIAL SITE: crehage.com <br />▶FACEBOOK: facebook.com/crehage <br />▶TWITTER: twitter.com/crehage <br />▶WEIBO: weibo.com/leikexiaoliumang <br /> <br />▶▶▶SUBSCRIBE to Christoph Rehage: bit.ly/1BcQ6Ol <br />REISEERZÄHLUNG "THE LONGEST WAY" (PIPER/MALIK) ERHÄLTLICH: <br />▶Amazon: amzn.to/177iCpG <br />▶Hugendubel: bit.ly/1rJj5rc <br />▶Thalia: bit.ly/14hoJXr <br /> <br />BILDBAND "CHINA ZU FUSS" (NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC) ERHÄLTLICH: <br />▶Amazon: amzn.to/1xAd7ve <br />▶Hugendubel: bit.ly/1zZqcP4 <br />▶Thalia: bit.ly/1BqvYWR
