CHINA Lonely Planet writer Shawn Low gets off the beaten Middle Kingdom's Wild West, heading into the remote mountain valleys of Yunnan Province. Sheltered from outside influences for centuries, these long-forgotten corners are fast-gaining a reputation as China's adventure capital and Shawn's come to put those claims to the test. He goes crossbow hunting for his supper, rides death-defying Cables over raging mountain torrents, joins the dating rituals of a remote highland tribe, bangs the drum in one of the world's oldest opera troupes and rides into the big blue yonder with the Khampa cowboys of Shangri-La.

ETHIOPIA Lonely Planet writer Katharine Kane blazes a trail through Ethiopia, a country more well known for its droughts and desolation than its awesome tourist drawcards. Her journey begins in Harar with a drug-fuelled all-night trance vigil in the holiest Islamic city in Africa, and ends among thousands of Orthodox pilgrims on the shores of Lake Tana paying homage to a woman who tried to save the soul of the devil. Along the way she gets an insight into the courting rituals of the fearsome Afar nomads, goes in search of a three million year old ancestor and meets a septuagenarian gent carving a church out of rock armed with nothing but a pickaxe.
