The grandeur of Chang'an, the profound history of Luoyang, the misty waters of Nanjing, the magnificence of Beijing, the mystery of Yin Ruins, the bustling streets of Kaifeng, the elegance of Hangzhou, the vastness of Zhengzhou…

Each ancient capital is a silhouette of a dynasty, a slice of civilization, and an ultimate expression of the Chinese character. Following openchina through these ancient capitals is like understanding half of Chinese history.
