The journey will go from the Chinese capital Beijing through the ancient centres of the Middle Kingdom to the mysterious Lhasa and the Tibetan Plateau ending finally in modern Shanghai. The route has been chosen based on its historical and geodetic importance. The sites are choosen based on the book Scenic splendor of China, Chinese National Geography and their geophysical interest.
This is one of two or more journeys that will all focus on the importance of geodesy and the need for international cooperation to meet the societal requirements today and in the future.
