Hengdian, Zhejiang

Hengdian World Studios in Zhejiang ranks as China's largest film and television production base, nicknamed ‘China's Hollywood’. Massive full-size set complexes recreate historical scenes spanning Qin-Han dynasties all the way to Ming-Qing imperial palaces. Countless hit Chinese historical dramas and fantasy films shoot here, turning the resort into a pilgrimage hotspot for global C-drama fans.

Tourists can wander recreated ancient streets as if traveling back in time, catch live on-location filming shoots, and book Hanfu costume experiences to act as background extras during historical scene recordings. The resort mixes light entertainment and cultural education, showcasing the full evolution of Chinese filmmaking while supplying unmatched ancient-style backdrops for cultural exploration.

A Malaysian C-drama fan brought up a minor recurring annoyance: active filming zones often block popular photo spots with zero advance online notice.
