On Novermber the 9th, 2007, Christoph Rehage set off walking from Beijing on a journey of a lifetime. His epic travels of over 4000km took him acroos China, through cities and deserts, all on foot. Why? “It makes you own your way. Whenever I walk somewhere, not only do I remember the way, but I also feel like I have a legitimate reason to be there,” he says. “I visit a place by train, and I’m a tourist. I walk to the same place by foot, and the place is suddenly mine. We belong together, and I don’t feel like an alien anymore.”
