Top 9 national treasures from hit TV show

9. The Arched Door of the Porcelain Pagoda of the Grand Bao'en Temple from Nanjing Museum

Actress Qin Hailu plays a lady in an unrequited love story to present the Arched Door of the Porcelain Pagoda of Grand Bao'en Temple. Known as "the most beautiful door of Nanjing", it is the only extant door of the Porcelain Pagoda's 144 doors, as they were mostly destroyed in wars in 1856.

The pagoda was built by order of Emperor Yongle during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and it took the country's best architects 17 years to complete the 78 meter-high octagonal structure, which was covered by colorful glazed porcelain bricks made by the most skillful workers of the time.

Noted as one of the seven wonders of the medieval world, the Porcelain Pagoda also captivated the West thanks to an introduction by Johan Nieuhof, a renowned 17th century Dutch traveler, in his illustrative and informative China memoirs.
