Connected to history
Imagine meeting a craftsman(工匠) in his eighties, who is carving dragons on copper hot pots(铜火锅). You feel like you've travelled back two thousand years ago. That's the charm of Shanxi in Sight, a six - episode(集) documentary that was on show in March 2025 on CCTV - 2.
Filmed over six months, the series explores 50 historic places across Datong, Taiyuan, and Yuncheng. It follows nearly 100 local people—from craftsmen to shopkeepers. It shows a slow and thoughtful journey to the viewers.
Instead of filming old buildings as cold and empty places, the team tried to show them through the eyes of local people. "We didn't want the buildings to feel like museums," said director Zhou Lifen. "So we chose people living in Shanxi—shopkeepers, craftsmen, farmers—whose lives are closely connected to these old buildings. Their warmth brings history to life. " In the documentary, viewers meet an artist in Datong who is making knife - cut noodles, a sculptor who has spent thirty years recreating cave figures(人物), and a craftsman who protects swans along the Yellow River.
"In today's cultural tourism, documentaries need to do more than just tell—they need to make people think," said Zhou Lifen. Shanxi in Sight turns the province's popularity into lasting cultural pride and excitement for travel. When a documentary helps understand the past through the warmth of common people, it produces a strong feeling that's truly unforgettable. As one viewer wrote online, "This isn't just a travel show—it's a chance to feel history in daily life."
