FORGOTTEN BUDDHA’s in CHINA 🇨🇳 |S8, EP122
EDITORIAL SUMMARY

About this film
Listed as Season 8, Episode 122, the film sits within Itchy Boots’ “To the Far East” series. The title identifies China as its setting, while the description gives the episode a specific focus: exploring caves described as centuries old. That makes this a place-led instalment in the wider motorcycle-travel catalogue, rather than a description of a particular road or day’s ride. Bing is part of the exploration, though the supplied information does not specify their role or provide further background. The runtime is 25 minutes and 50 seconds.
The journey
The only location details provided are a small canyon and a desert oasis in China. The description does not name the site, explain how the pair reach it, or set out a route before or after the visit. It also gives no information about riding conditions, distances, or the surrounding landscape beyond the oasis and canyon setting. Viewers looking for a documented stretch of road or a step-by-step account of the season’s progress will not find those details in the available summary. Instead, the stated subject is an excursion to explore the caves, within a season framed as a journey to the Far East.
People, places and moments
The episode’s central pairing is the presenter and Bing, and its central destination is a group of caves tucked into the canyon. Their age is described broadly as centuries old; no further historical account, identification, or information about the caves is supplied. The setting brings together three concise elements—the caves, the canyon, and the desert oasis—without naming a town or region. The source also does not describe encounters with local people or explain what the caves contain, so the visit is best understood from the information available as a shared exploration of a historic site, not as a detailed cultural or archaeological account. The Yamaha Ténéré tag and Season 8 series listing provide the motorcycle-travel context.
What to expect
- A China-set instalment in Season 8, “To the Far East.”
- An exploration involving Bing and centuries-old caves.
- A small-canyon setting within a desert oasis; no specific riding route is given.
