The TV show tells the story of how Qian Hongchu grew from a carefree prince to a ruler. Qian eventually surrendered Wuyue territory to the Song Dynasty (960-1279), thus unifying China peacefully.
The Hangzhou government cooperated with the show's producers to organize an event for collecting stamps at six locations, an immersive exhibit for the show, and five travel routes connecting its Wuyue relics.
One of the fans of the show, Man Man, recently brought her friend to earn a stamp at Qianwang Temple, where she was pleased to find that the temple's interior had recently been refurbished.
