Put Double `""` into a String

I have this json

object tmp = new
            {
                name = Name,
                type = Type,
                parentId = ParentId,
                Location= string.Format("[\"{0}\"]" ,Location1)
            };
            string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(tmp);

This string is casuing the problem

string Location = string.Format("[\"{0}\"]" ,Location1)

The result is 

{...,"Location":"[\"Location5201\"]"}

If i get rid of the \

Then the output is

{...,"Location":"[Location5201]"}

My desired output should be

{...,"Location":["Location5201"]}

How can i put "" into the string above?

["something"] is JSON for "an array of one string":

Location = new []{ Location1 }

If Location1 is not already of type string:

Location = new []{ Location1.ToString() }

or

Location = new []{ string.Format("{0}", Location1) }

The thing is that Location property is actually an array of strings, but not a string.
You don't need to form it with string yourself. Instead, you need to declare it as an array: 

Location = new[] { Location1 }

You might want to spend more time on reading about JSON format and its serialization in C# before trying to achieve something with code in an initially incorrect way.
