The first episode of our “Unknown Villages” series features one of the most amazing stories of an American in China.

His name is Brian Linden and he came to China for the first time 37 years ago. He instantly fell in love with the culture during his studies at Stanford. Later, he decided to open a unique Education and Tourism Center “Linden Center” in many unique spots in China - to give visitors from around the world a taste of what he calls the “real and authentic” China.

He built world-class facilities with beautiful designs while maintaining the historical architectural styles of the locals. You can find Linden Centers in magical spots like Shilong Village 石龙村 and XiZhou喜洲 in Yunnan Province.

Watch the video to see the story of Brian- his Linden Center and the faraway Shilong Village.
