Today I had a crazy idea. Taking a train

to a completely new city just to watch a

movie.

No plans, no preparation, just a

spontaneous decision. A few hours later,

I was in a city I had never seen before.

And it reminded me that how exciting

life becomes is entirely up to us.

>> Oh, hi, I'm Zaza. The movie I've hyped

for forever, The Odyssey, is finally out

in China. And today I'm doing something

totally crazy.

Hurry up. We are running out of time.

I'm hopping on a train to a whole new

city just to see it. Why? Because the

entire South China region only has one

theater with the fullframe GT IMX. And

I'm not going missing out.

>> The Odyssey. This epic film was shot on

giant high film. Right now only four

cinemas in China can actually play it in

that format.

Today I'm going to one of them, the only

one in southern China located in Dunwan.

It's about 80 km from Shenzhen where I

leave around 40 minutes by highspeed

train.

Compared to the North American release,

China's was delayed by an entire month.

I've been looking forward to this for a

long time.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

It's

a lot.

You see two stations here.

This is my first time in this city.

There are still 6 hours until the movie

starts. Let's explore first.

The driver couldn't believe it. Coming

all the way here just for a film.

This is a very representative classical

garden in China.

Here

you can discover how ancient Chinese

define beauty. A place to leave you

surrounded by mountains, water, and a

courtyard.

There we go.

It's a microcosm of the ancient Chinese

dream of a beautiful life. Spending

carefree days with family within the

walls of your own garden.

Lunch time. This place is famous

nationwide for one dish, roast goose.

Goose leg. The prime cut. They only make

a limited number each day. I got lucky.

The skin is roasted, crispy, but the

meat inside is tender and juicy.

>> Amazing.

>> Making it this way is far from easy. It

really tests your cooking skills.

I think food is a reflection of your

attitude toward life. Making it with

care shows how much you love living.

This drink is made from fermented red

days and hawthorne.

The sweet and sour balance is just

perfect.

Luck doesn't strike twice. I wanted

another goose lay, but they were already

sold out.

This is the most traditional dessert in

the region.

The light fragrance of tofu paired with

a rich sweetness of red beans. Really,

really good.

This is the slow pace that only a small

city can offer. Quiet and natural.

Whoa.

3 hours of pure immersion. This epic is

a once in a lifetime experience.

So lucky to be here for it.

What a wonderful day. See you the next

video. Bye.

>> And that was my crazy day in China.

Sometimes all it takes is one crazy idea

to make life an adventure.
