New season of National Treasure to reignite cultural heritage fervor

Introducing more artifacts to the public and continuing the legacy of the first season from 2017, National Treasure, one of China's most popular TV shows on cultural heritage, recently began production of its second season.

Although the second season will use similar choreography, background music and storylines as seen in the first season, it will also feature new cultural relics, new "national treasure guardians" and new elements drawn from folk music, musicals and dancing drama.

Scoring 9.0 out of 10 points on Chinese rating platform Douban, the first season introduces a total of 27 cultural relics that were selected from the Palace Museum and eight other iconic museums in China.
