A ramble through heritage

"We wanted to explore a new style of expression, making our work less serious, and have a common touch," says Liu Hongyan, general director of the production.

Liu says her team took a different approach by adding fictional elements to the series about the sites.

"We put most of our effort into writing the dialogue for people (on screen)," she says.

The second episode takes viewers on a journey to Gulangyu, which is known as Kulangsu in the local dialect, while showing the story of two tourists on the island-a young man who's working in Beijing and his younger sister who wants to follow his path of seeking a better life in big cities. The beautiful scenery and local people's attachment to the island remind them of their own hometown.
