China has splendid civilizations and many dynasties of long history. China is also a great country with many nationals and tribes, with many local regimes, resulting in hundreds of capitals. The capital is the embodiment of the economic and military strength, characteristic culture and advanced technology of each regime. The capital city or area emerges and disappears with the establishment and decline of each dynasty.

Today, most of the ancient capitals have been unveiled and explored by archeologists, either buried underground or still full of vigor. Pieces of treasures and grand palaces reveal the splendid past. Why an old great city turned up in a desert, what exactly is the splendor and brilliance of Changan in the Tang Dynasty, etc.? Just watch the screen and follow the lens.

中国历史悠久，文化灿烂，朝代更替频繁，而且中国是个多民族的大国，曾经出现过许多个少数民族地方政权，这些朝代或国家先后设立了几百个都城。都城是每个朝代的中心，从选定地点、制定规划，到具体实施、建筑完成，都是按照统治阶级政治上和经济上的需要来进行的；都城建设规模的大小最能体现国力的强弱，是一个时代技术、文化最高成就的集中体现。一个国家兴起又灭亡，一座座都城建成又消失。
今天，一座座隐没于地下，或是依然车水马龙的都城又在考古学家的手铲下渐渐揭去神秘面纱，重现昔日的辉煌，考古学家们发现了什么？一件件文物，一座座宫殿见证了怎样的历史故事？一座神秘宏伟的古都为何出现在荒芜的大漠边陲？唐都长安曾经有过怎样的辉煌和灿烂？谁在这些古都指点江山又或国破家亡？本片真实地纪录了大量的中国历史古都，探求这些古都对当时的政治、经济、文化所产生的作用和影响。
