A ramble through heritage


"Since the places we show are well-known, they may not be fresh in the eyes of some people. We want to give the audience new impressions of the places they may be familiar with, so we show them from diverse angles, and combine them with the stories," says Liu.
The series is a work of successful cooperation.
Satoshi Kitagawa, a Japanese director of the series, says: "Crew members from both countries had in-depth communication during script-writing and filming, respecting each other's opinions and suggestions, and finally made a better work. That is the effect of coproduction."
Liu says: "Japanese crew members could also discover some unfamiliar parts of Chinese cultural heritage, like guqin, a traditional Chinese zither-like instrument, and show them in the work."
