Roger Law has arrived in Zhengzhou on his journey through China to see some of the many museums of the country. In this city, a major railway junction, he is amazed to discover a 'Chinese Louvre', a pyramid-shaped building housing some of the finest treasures of the country. He travels on to the Longman Grottos, where he is amazed to find more than 30,000 Buddha statues and 100,000 Buddha images in a series of caves hollowed out of the rock. Roger also finds himself alongside almost the same number of Chinese tourists jostling to see a part of their history. Producer: Mark Rickards First broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in July 2012.
