Zhengzhou, capital of Henan Province and once known as Shang Capital, sits at the heart of China. A key cradle of Chinese civilization, it ranks among the nation's eight major ancient capitals. The city boasts 2 World Heritage Sites (12 entries), 83 national-level key cultural relics protection sites (89 entries), and nearly 10,000 immovable cultural relics. Its archaeological finds have been listed in China's "Top Ten New Archaeological Discoveries" 16 times, more than any other Chinese city. Over recent years, Zhengzhou has excelled in archaeological research, museum revitalization, top-tier exhibitions, and cultural heritage promotion, winning wide acclaim.
"Zhengzhou in Cultural Relics", jointly produced by Zhengzhou's Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and Xinhua News Agency, took five years to craft. In 2024, the documentary was named an "Excellent Project for Chinese Cultural Relics New Media Dissemination" by the National Cultural Heritage Administration, making it Henan Province's sole honoree that year.
