With its long history and unique culture, Jincheng is known as one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.There is a Hollywood movie entitled "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness" that came out in 1958. The film, based on Gladys Aylward's legendary story during the 1930s and 1940s in Jincheng, created a sensation when it was shown in Britain and the U.S., and went on to win an award at the 16th Golden Globes for "promoting international understanding". The movie depicts Jincheng during the war years when people strove to survive; whereas this book, brilliantly illustrated and well written in four languages, presents a complete image of today's Jincheng, encompassing its history, culture, landscape, economy, tourism, etc.
