French producer zooms in on cultural heritage

How did craftsmen over 2,000 years ago create the unique "Chinese purple" color on Terracotta Warriors? Can a one-euro coin stand upright on a high-speed train traveling at full speed? How are giant pandas trained to adapt to life in the wild?

Two years ago, French producer and TV host Olivier Chiabodo came to China with his team to uncover the answers to these questions. They produced Amazing China, a high-definition documentary that unveils the nation's rich culture, natural beauty and advanced technology.

Impressed by China's cultural sites, Chiabodo produced another documentary Beijing-Paris, Urban Dialogue at a Crossroads last year to unveil the beauty of Beijing's Central Axis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and to explore the protection and use of city axes like those in Beijing and Paris. It will be released on the video streaming platform Tencent Video later this year.
