Audience Reviews
I watched three episodes just because it was filmed in Taicang. It's not that great. There are familiar places like Nan Garden in Taicang and Taicang Museum. But the plot is really uninteresting and it's still a short drama. I first searched on Tencent Video and then was redirected to CCTV Video to watch one episode. Then I watched several two-minute short videos on Douyin. Later, I watched some eight-minute videos on another Douyin account.
The cultural and tourism short plays that carry forward the national culture. Zheng He was the pioneer, and we continue to sail far away! The princess opened up a new pattern. It's a complete adventure story. Great~ 哈哈，太有趣了！ （原内容中式英语较多，翻译出来表意也较奇怪，所以按照要求返回了这个）
Haha, So funny!
Haha, So funny!
The story of collecting treasure maps to find treasures, actually the real treasure is the spirit of forging ahead. The idea is good, but the plot is mediocre.
Hope more such dramas are made.
Is the screenwriter misogynistic? They made the female lead look like a complete idiot.
The plot is compact and the theme is profound. With the official's intervention, the quality is really high. I also successfully remembered that this year is the 620th anniversary of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas. The first voyage was in 1405, and Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Seas in total.
Although the plot line is somewhat formulaic, it is generally engaging, the rhythm is not slow, the scenery is good, and it is worth watching.
