Hengdian World Studios

8.1

4.7/5

35.9k reviews

Hengdian World Studios is located in Hengdian Town, Dongyang, in central Zhejiang Province, adjacent to Yiwu, which is famous for its small commodity market. It is one of the largest film and television shooting bases in China and is known as "China's Hollywood." It is not actually a single city, but rather composed of multiple attractions scattered throughout and around the town, such as the Qin Palace, Ming and Qing Palace Garden, Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, Guangzhou Street/Hong Kong Street, and Dream Valley. Qin and Han palaces, Song Dynasty streets, Ming and Qing palaces, and modern trading ports are all gathered in one town, making walking through it feel like traveling back and forth between different dynasties. Films such as "Hero," "The Promise," and "Curse of the Golden Flower" were born in the Qin Palace, while hit palace dramas like "Palace," "Empresses in the Palace," and "Scarlet Heart" were mostly filmed in the Ming and Qing Palace Garden. It is a unique daily scene here to frequently bump into film crews at work on the streets and see extras dressed in ancient costumes passing by. Each attraction has distinct highlights: The Qin palace was built for filming "The emperor and the assassin," featuring imposing high platforms and grand halls—the iconic sword duel scene from "Hero" was shot here, now adapted into the live stunt show "Heroes' duel." The riverside scene at Qingming festival attraction brings Zhang Zeduan's Northern Song Bianliang to life, with rainbow bridges, Bian river, and Song-dressed NPCs roaming among taverns and teahouses; its signature performance "Dream of Bianliang" recreates bustling street life through ancient magic tricks. The Ming-Qing palace emulates Beijing's forbidden city with layered vermilion walls and golden roofs—familiar sights for fans of Qing dynasty dramas—while the multimedia show "Forbidden city chronicles" condenses centuries of imperial history. Guangzhou street·Hong Kong street revives old Canton and colonial Hong Kong (1840s-early 20th century), featuring the lively aquatic action show "Raging sea rivalry." Other areas include Dazhi temple, Pingyan cave dwellings, and Chinese cultural park—each offering unique exploration. The attractions are some distance apart, so you can usually only visit two or three in a day. If you have enough time, consider staying overnight: explore palaces and encounter film crews during the day, then head to the dream valley themed around nightlife in the evening. Besides amusement facilities, it features live performances, "The dream of Taiji" and "Mountain torrents", which are the highlights of Hengdian at night. The film studio has so many attractions that a 1-day tour may only cover 2-3 attractions. If time permits, we recommend staying overnight to explore at a leisurely pace and catch more shows—only then can you truly experience the charm of Hengdian.

Hengdian World Studios Qingming Shanghe Tu Park

Hengdian World Studios Qingming Shanghe Tu Park

6.2

4.9/5

7.1k reviews

Located south of Hengdian World Studios, the Qingming Shanghe Attraction is a film and television studio based on the classic Northern Song Dynasty painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by Zhang Zeduan. Popular films and television series such as "Gu Jian Qi Tan," "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li," and "Peerless Twins" have been filmed here. Therefore, while visiting the area, you can not only experience the bustling capital and urban life of the Song Dynasty, but also discover familiar scenes from historical dramas in the streets and alleys. If you're lucky, you might even stumble upon a film crew in progress. The Attraction is divided into an outer city and an inner city. The winding Bian River winds through the city walls, and Northern Song Dynasty-style bridges and pavilions stretch along the waterfront, creating a poetic and picturesque scene. Most of these buildings are empty, allowing visitors to enjoy the "time-travel" experience of strolling through the streets of Bianjing. You can enjoy snacks from small shops along the street, or play a game like Northern Song Dynasty darts. For an even more "time-traveling" experience, rent a Northern Song Dynasty costume and pose for photos in it, then continue your stroll until the end, completely immersing yourself in the Song Dynasty surroundings. The recommended order of the tour is: enter the Attraction through the main gate, pass Gao Mansion and Chen Mansion, take a standard photo of the Rainbow Bridge and its reflection in the water, follow the central axis through Shangshan Gate and enter the inner city to Sunyangzheng Store. A short distance ahead is the performance venue of "A Dream of Bianliang". Follow the trail counterclockwise around the lake, then return to the outer city through the Water Gate and continue walking counterclockwise. The entire tour can be walked, or you can rent a bicycle if necessary. Along the River During the Qingming Festival is adjacent to the Qin Palace and Dream Valley. A day trip to the two attractions is perfect, followed by a night out at Dream Valley. Buses Round-trip between each attraction, making transportation very convenient.

Hengdian World Studios - The Palace of Emperor Qin

Hengdian World Studios - The Palace of Emperor Qin

6.1

4.9/5

11.8k reviews

The Palace of Emperor Qin is located in Hengdian World Studios, built in 1997 for renowned director Chen Kaige's historical epic film "The Emperor and the Assassin." This attraction can be considered the cradle of numerous blockbuster films and historical dramas, with nearly a hundred productions filmed here, including "Hero," "A Step into the Past," "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," "Beauty's Rival in Palace," "The Promise," "The Legend of Mi Yue," "The Untamed," "Joy of Life," "One and Only," "Luoyang," "Chinese Paladin 3," "The Empress of China," and "Nirvana in Fire." The Palace of Emperor Qin is modeled after the main palace of the Qin Dynasty—Xianyang Palace. This massive attraction features intricate architecture and meticulous layout, boasting 27 majestic palaces with towers at every turn. The towering walls and grand halls perfectly capture the awe-inspiring ambition of Emperor Qin Shi Huang in unifying the six warring states and establishing China's first empire. The main attraction of the site is the Hall of Four Seas United as One, divided into the front hall, middle hall, and rear hall, stretching over 120 meters in depth. Majestic and towering, this was where the Qin emperor held court and conducted state affairs. It served as a filming location for Zhang Yimou's movie "Hero" and the popular Hong Kong TV series "A Step into the Past." Today, visitors can dress in costumes and sit on the throne for photos (fee required). The central area of the hall has been transformed into a massive wishing pool by the attraction, glittering with coins tossed in by visitors. In front of the hall, actors perform daily reenactments of the First Emperor's coronation procession on the 99-step staircase. The East View Tower next to the Hall of Unification was once the filming location for the movie "Hero." Inside the West View Tower, you can watch "Dreaming Back to Qin and Han." Additionally, at the Dragon Emperor's Adventure Theater near the West Palace Gate, you can experience the 4D film "Dragon Emperor's Adventure," which is based on the thrilling plot of the Hollywood movie "The Mummy 3." Additionally, to the west of The Palace of Emperor Qin stands the Huayang Terrace, the palace of the Yan Kingdom, which contrasts sharply in style with The Palace of Emperor Qin. This makes the filming site at The Palace of Emperor Qin not only a representation of Qin and Jin culture but also a showcase of Yan and Zhao architectural styles. One site, two palaces, highly condensed. Next to the Huayang Terrace is "Han Street," fully displaying the street scenes of the Qin and Han periods. However, both attractions are designated filming zones for production crews and are usually closed to visitors. Of course, if you're lucky, you might even spot a few celebrities.

The Heart of Zhejiang Sky City is located in Pan'an, renowned as the "ancestor of mountains and source of waters," adjacent to the high-speed rail station and guarding the county's gateway.

Visitors can experience both adrenaline-pumping excitement and poetic beauty—where "the red sun seems near when looking up, while white clouds appear low when glancing back"—immersing themselves in the majestic sea of clouds through dynamic and tranquil moments.

Hengdian World Studios Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street Park

6.1

5.0/5

8k reviews

The Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street Attraction is one of the six classic Attraction in Hengdian Film and Television City. It is the first Attraction built in Hengdian Film and Television City. It was built in August 1996 for the filming of the historical blockbuster "The Opium War". With realistic real-life buildings, it artistically reproduces the old appearance of Guangzhou and the charm of Hong Kong around 1840. Guangzhou Street covers an area of more than 300 mu, and Hong Kong Street covers an area of 120 mu. The quaint streets and alleys dot the "Flower City", and old-fashioned locomotives lie on the weathered rails. The crisscrossing rivers flow into the "Pearl River". The "Thirteen Barbarians Pavilion" is like an international architectural exposition, and the world's first teahouse "Tianlan Pavilion" is a collection of pavilions and terraces, showing the elegance of Chinese architecture. The entire layout of Hong Kong Street is designed with the advantages of wilderness slopes, and there are many street scenes in the central urban area of Hong Kong in the 19th century, such as Queen's Road, Hong Kong Governor's House, Victoria Barracks, HSBC Bank, Shanghai Mansion, and Hehan Garden. There are more than 30 European-style buildings here: Pedder Street, Chater Street, Connaught Road, Queen's Road, Queen's Statue Square, Governor's House, St. John's Church, Dent & Co., and Victoria Barracks, etc., which constituted the "Victoria City" which was the political, economic and cultural center of Hong Kong at that time. The night view of Hong Kong Street is located in the Victoria Harbor area of the Hong Kong Street District Attraction Area of Guangzhou Street in Hengdian World Studios. Des Voeux Road, Pedder Street, Queen's Road, Connaught Road and Chater Street Loop have created a complex of buildings that are very much in the style of old Hong Kong in the 19th century, and incorporate film and television scenes, gourmet snacks, entertainment bars, trendy businesses, performances, skits and more. Time travel is not just about seeing the 19th century Hong Kong-style themed buildings, but also about being truly in a lifelike movie-like street scene. At night, the entire Hong Kong city area is illuminated by colorful neon lights, turning it into a movie-themed city that never sleeps. Amid the rickshaw drivers' evasive sounds, we walked through the streets full of various characters and came to the Guangxiang Street Film and Television Theme Hotel where we stayed at night. If you love Hu Ge, Wang Kai, and Jin Dong, the three handsome Ming brothers, you can stay in the "The Disguiser" film and television theme room; and if you are obsessed with the "Qi Yue" CP in "The Mystic Nine", you can just check in to the CP sweet spot of Xinyue Hotel - Yin Xinyue's boudoir.

[Jiuzhou Qingyan] The plaque of "Jiuzhou Qingyan" was inscribed by Emperor Yongzheng. "Jiuzhou" was the ancient Chinese term for the entire land of China, while "Qingyan" refers to a peaceful and prosperous era, symbolizing national stability and enduring sovereignty, reflecting the Qing emperors' aspiration for a thriving nation. Located in the western part of the Old Summer Palace on the central axis of the attraction, between the Front Lake and the Back Lake, it consists of multiple structures. The foremost is the five-bay Yuanmingyuan Hall, followed by the seven-bay Fengsanwusi Hall and the seven-bay Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall. To the east is the Tiandi Yijiachun complex, and to the west are buildings like Le'anhe. It served as the emperor's residence and was also an important venue for handling state affairs, hosting banquets, and receiving foreign dignitaries. [Tianchi waterfall] The "Tianchi waterfall" features cold-resistant and long-lived dry willows as its theme, situated between two mountains, combining movement and stillness. This 150 m wide and 35 m high Tianchi waterfall before your eyes is a masterpiece of Hengdian. The curved water curtain hangs on the cliff, cascading down like a white silk scroll, with the "splashing" sound resembling a grand symphony of looms, presenting a magnificent spectacle that fully showcases the beauty of motion. Hongci Yonghu (Eternal Blessing of Great Kindness), also known as Anyou Palace, is a large temple garden that served as the imperial ancestral temple during the Qing Dynasty, embodying the concept of "filial piety." The name "Hongci Yonghu" conveys the meaning of "vast kindness and eternal prayers for peace and blessings." We also call it Cuibai Garden (Evergreen Cypress Garden) due to its theme of evergreen cypresses, with many pine and cypress trees planted throughout. This entire attraction covers an area of approx. 4500 m². During the Qing Dynasty, it functioned as the imperial ancestral temple, commonly known as the "Small Imperial Ancestral Temple," where Emperor Qianlong enshrined portraits of his grandfather and father, modeled after the Han Dynasty's "original temple" system. After Qianlong's death, his portrait was also enshrined here. Filial piety, a Confucian [Great fountains] The great fountains feature a giant stone niche as the backdrop, with lion head carvings beneath the central arch spraying water to form a seven-tiered cascade, falling into an oval chrysanthemum-shaped fountain pool in front. A bronze sika deer stands in the pool, its eight-branched antlers spraying water, while five bronze dogs on each side shoot water jets toward the deer, creating splashing waves. At the eastern and western ends, bronze beasts with curled tails appear to chase the deer, commonly known as "hunting dogs pursuing a deer." [Haiyue Kaijin] Built during the Qianlong era, Haiyue Kaijin stands on a circular island where emperors and empresses often visited to enjoy panoramic views during crisp fall days. The poetic line "From afar, it resembles a mirage; up close, it feels like ascending to a fairyland" depicts this ethereal wonder within the Old Summer Palace. In the newly restored Changchun Garden, Haiyue Kaijin is surrounded by water on all sides, with its majestic and resplendent architecture serving as an ideal vantage point for travelers. [Ruyi Pavilion - Ruyi tea party] Embrace a poetic summer at this lotus-themed rendezvous! Check in at the dreamy thousand-lotus wonderland with classical Chinese aesthetics, where every step reveals picture-perfect scenes worthy of a photoshoot. Savor refreshing lotus ice drinks and aromatic floral teas that capture summer's essence on your palate. Be mesmerized by immersive tea ceremony performances blending ancient melodies with elegant artistry, letting you experience refined Chinese slow living amid the fragrance of lotus blooms. [Haiyue kaijin - Lotus breeze water treading] A summer-limited water carnival is here! Stroll on the cool floating bridge and immerse yourself in the bamboo raft flute NPC's Chinese-style performance, with melodious flute music accompanying the murmuring stream, creating a full atmosphere. Unlock family-friendly water-treading fun, splashing and playing with your family to enjoy the summer coolness. There's also an exciting water fight to kick off, with water splashing everywhere, unlocking a refreshing new summer stress-relief experience suitable for all ages, with non-stop fun!

Pan'an Baizhang Pond Scenic Area

4.5/5

279 reviews

Baizhangtan is about 32 kilometers away from Anwen Town, Pan'an County. It is characterized by waterfalls, ponds and streams. The Attraction is mainly composed of three waterfalls. The stream flows into the rain-praying pond along the steep cliff. The three waterfalls are connected and stacked to form a unique waterfall. The scenery of the waterfall is more beautiful in the season with abundant rainfall, and it feels very cool to play in summer. The entire route of the Attraction is designed to go around the stream in the middle, which is very easy to walk. Entering the Attraction is the covered bridge, from which you can take a battery car to the Wukeng Rest Corridor on the left (10 yuan/time), and then start walking. However, it is more recommended to walk up the mountain counterclockwise, and take a car back when going down the mountain to avoid the steep uphill road. Go to the right side of the Zhulian Waterfall. The road here is gentle and gradually rises. The waterfalls are more beautiful than one another, and there are surprises one after another. Going up along the trail, there are streams and bamboo forests all the way, which feels very good. Passing Longtan Lake and Xiankeng Waterfall, you will reach the higher point waterfall viewing pavilion. The classic Baizhangtan, Wolongtan, and Qiyutan are nearby. From here, the waterfalls and deep pools are very magnificent. From here, go down the mountain along the Jinli Ancient Road. At the end is the Wukeng Rest Corridor. After a short rest, you can take the battery car back to the exit. The Jinli Ancient Road is steep and there are no attractions Souvenir it. Relatively speaking, it is easier to go down the mountain from here. There is no Dining service in the Attraction , but there are several small restaurants behind the parking lot outside the Attraction where you can eat. However, the time for playing here is not long, so you can also bring some dry food with you.

Traveling with friends? Family? As a couple? Hengdian has it all. The fun-filled NPC interactions where you and your friends can play and collect red cards to exchange for gifts. Fun for the whole family! Dream Valley is included and it is a small amusement park with a very large Ferris wheel and staff who want to make sure you are having fun! The park is meticulously kept and the snacks are yummy! They have a race car experience and rollercoasters. Not as big as Disney but a fun local spot to spend w friends or the kids. As for Hengdian World Studios, the Ming/Qing garden palace was my favorite. It is by far the largest park and filming is happening while guests tour the area. Definitely need a golf cart to get around. It’s huge! The Palace of Emperor Qin was second best. Near Dream Valley and the lovely Floral Lux Homestay, it had great food stands and staff was friendly and welcoming. Along the River during the Ming/Qing Festival is beautiful!!! The walkways and decor is stunning!
