Hundreds of films are shot there every year, but not only movie stars and production crews flock to the extraordinary film mecca. Hengdian World Studios has become a major tourist attraction, bringing jobs and prosperity to a once sleepy rural village.
Let’s be honest. It’s pretty hard to pass on a chance to catch a glimpse of a big movie star while stepping into the world of blockbuster films.
Get ready to be “in the know” about China’s movie magic in this week’s China Unknown.
