The lost city of Jinsha

A co-production between the China Intercontinental Communication Center and History Channel Asia, The Lost City of Jinsha was filmed in high definition at archaeological sites in Jinsha and Sanxingdui in June 2012 and premiered on History Channel Asia on November 25.

In memory of China Institute's second president from 1930 to 1967, audiences are welcome to celebrate Paul Chih Meng's legacy as a pioneer and visionary who introduced Chinese culture to America during a tumultuous time in Sino-US history to advance understanding between the peoples of the two nations.

The executive producers, director and host of the new TV series Mysteries of China will join the audience for an adventure in exploring one of the most fascinating and important archaeological discoveries in China.

Mysteries of China will take the audience into the heart of remote and beautiful locations across China, which are now revealing secrets from a forgotten age.

In the first episode, the host explores the lost city of Jinsha (meaning 'golden sand') in Sichuan province and its treasure trove of gold, jade and bronze objects, which were discovered in 2001.

It promises to reveal secrets that had remained hidden in time capsule for 3,000 years.
