Writer Liu Zhenyun, host Meng Fei, actress Hani Kyzy, presenter Li Yajuan and stand-up comedian He Guangzhi in travel reality show Must Go. Thirty years ago, then-24-year-old Meng Fei was a young cameraman who boarded a train from Shanghai bound for the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, enduring three days and three nights across the Chinese heartland to reach Urumqi. He's not just a visitor; he's an "unofficial tour guide" and driver, heading westward with writer Liu Zhenyun, host Li Yajuan, stand-up comedian He Guangzhi, and actress Hani Kyzy. Along the way, they're visiting the ancient paths once traversed by Chinese Buddhist monk Xuan Zang in the Tang Dynasty, unveiling the storied beauty of the western regions in a modern retelling of the ancient Silk Road.
