"Though a short episode, it has taken me through a thousand years. I have received an in-depth understanding of my hometown Hohhot, though I traveled far away from it. Maybe I should study this city now," said Jiang Yuhan on a weibo after watching Qiannian Qingcheng.

It was said that not many young people are interested in history at present, but the show was a success. A trend to trace local history surged among young people in Hohhot after the debut of Qiannian Qingcheng.

Miss Wei is a journalist working in Hohhot. "After the three episodes, I think we should explore more of Hohhot's history, and get a better knowledge of Hohhot's connotation as a historic and cultural city," Wei said.

Wei is just one of the young people who were moved by the TV series. A lot of young locals have subscribed to related readings through WeChat. Topics such as "Qiannian Qingcheng" and "Qingcheng's history" have become hot words.
