This is the site updates log. Prices, opening times and booking rules in China move faster than most guides admit. Every time we re-check one of those facts against an official source — or a figure on this site actually changes — we record it here, with the date it happened.
Each entry links to the page it changed. You will also find an Update history block and a Last verified date at the bottom of the pages that carry time-sensitive information.

| A Dream of Splendor Filming Locations: Lake Tai, Not West Lake | Updated this page's Hengdian ticketing/passport/reservation references to the operator's published booking flow; current procedures and reservation links are centralized in /places/hengdian/. This is a scoped correction, not a full-page fact recheck. | |

| Full River Red Filming Locations: The 2021 Ancient City | Article published. The page is built on a structural finding and on a numeric one, and the structural finding is a new pattern for this site. Taiyuan has three cities called some version of “ancient city”, all in Jinyuan district, all within a few kilometres of each other, and separated by roughly 1,900 years. Jinyang, founded around 497 BC and destroyed in 979 AD by fire and deliberate flooding, survives as earthen ramparts in farmland with five villages on top of it. The Ming county town, founded in 1375, was rebuilt between 2013 and 2021 and opened on 1 May 2021, and it is what every visitor photographs. The prefectural city founded after 979 is downtown Taiyuan, where the metro is. Nothing here is in the wrong province and no number is wrong: the addresses and the names are all correct, and what is wrong is the assumption that one name points to one object. That is a nineteenth pattern, distinct from the eighteen already recorded, and we are calling it a stratigraphy error — the name is a stack, and the tourist-facing layer is the top one. The test we have added to the checklist is the one that produced this page: for any Chinese place name containing gucheng, do not ask whether it is old, ask which old, and then ask when the walls you can touch were built. In Taiyuan the answers are 2013 to 2021 for the walls, 1375 for the street plan, and 497 BC for the ground underneath, and a guide that gives only one of them is not lying, it is answering a different question. The numeric finding is the third appearance of the column error in three articles, in a new form: the film set’s 7.5 mu is consistent with its 5,400 square metres of built area, but a widely repeated 50 mu figure is ten times too large and larger than the quarter it sits in, and the 20-yuan entry price that every guide still quotes was valid for sixteen days in 2023 before the set closed for a refit. A price is not a fact about a place, it is a fact about a place at a time. Two name traps are documented: Taiyuan and Taoyuan differ by one letter in romanisation and by nothing in a search box, so “taiyuan airport” autocompletes mostly to an airport 1,800 kilometres away, and the only reliable search term is the code TYN; and the word Sanmin Road, which is not in this article but is the neighbouring pattern, is a district of three streets. Eight things are marked unresolved: whether the film compound was newly built or assembled from two existing courtyards, its current standalone price, the current wall ticket, whether entry is still free, how many of the 38 protected structures are open, the exact area of the Jinyang site, whether the springs were really diverted in 979, and the film set’s own opening hours as distinct from the town’s. One editorial decision is worth recording: the article recommends Jinci over the film set for anyone who has not seen the film, because a page that sends people to a nice courtyard and calls it the point would be a worse page than one that says which building in the district is actually irreplaceable. | |

| The Bad Kids Filming Locations: Zhanjiang, Minus a Mountain | Article published. The page is built on one finding that changed the draft after the first round of checking, and on a second finding that is a correction to the draft itself. The structural finding is geographic: The Bad Kids is described across Chinese travel writing, and therefore across most English summaries of it, as having been shot in Zhanjiang. Ninety percent of it was. The exception is the mountain in the opening scene, Liufengshan, which is in Lingshan County, Qinzhou, in Guangxi — a different province, roughly three hours away, and the only major location in the show outside Guangdong. That is an eighteenth pattern for this site, distinct from the seventeen already recorded: not an outdated figure, a wrong column, a misclassification, a misattribution, a misnomer or a case of mistaken identity, but a correct fact attached to the wrong administrative unit. We are calling it jurisdiction error. It is the characteristic error of Chinese filming-location writing, because production credits name a city and never name a province, and every downstream guide infers the province from the city. The test is mechanical and we have added it to our checklist: for any claim that a production shot somewhere, check each location against its administrative level, not against the production’s own press material. The second finding is a numeric one, and it is the second time in two articles that the error has been a column rather than a value. Almost every source, including national news features, gives Liufengshan’s height as 182 metres. That is the relative height — the rise from the county town to the summit. The elevation is either 243 or 343 metres, a hundred-metre disagreement between two entries in the same encyclopaedia, and we print the disagreement rather than resolving it. Two further name traps are documented in the body because they cost real time: there are two places called Chikan in Guangdong, 200 kilometres apart, both with arcade streets and both with a famous film, and Sanmin Road is a district of three streets rather than a street, with a fourth “Minzhu Road” that belongs to the block but not to the three. Four things are marked unresolved: the Liufengshan elevation, its admission price, the pool’s founding year (1935 per the school, 1943 per the encyclopaedia) and the Sea City ship’s launch year (1951 or 1954). Two operational facts are stated as warnings rather than as description: the Naozhou lighthouse is inside a military control zone and cannot be approached, and the Sea City ship has been closed and under reconstruction since 1 August 2025. One editorial decision is worth recording: the article leads with the city rather than with the show, because English-language demand data for this place is airport, lake and island demand rather than film demand, and because the show is the pretext while the arcade town is the reason to go. | |
| The Untamed Filming Locations: Every Real Place Fans Can Visit in China | Updated this page's Hengdian ticketing/passport/reservation references to the operator's published booking flow; current procedures and reservation links are centralized in /places/hengdian/. This is a scoped correction, not a full-page fact recheck. | |
| The Untamed Filming Locations: Every Real Place Fans Can Visit in China | Updated the language FAQ with the operator-published WeChat booking, passport replacement, and per-visitor area-reservation workflow; scoped update only, not a full-page recheck. | |
| The Untamed in Hengdian: A Scene-by-Scene Photo Guide | Updated this page's Hengdian ticketing/passport/reservation references to the operator's published booking flow; current procedures and reservation links are centralized in /places/hengdian/.

| Browse C-Drama Filming Locations by Show | Added Anji and Hongcun (Zhejiang and Anhui) to the drama grid and the difficulty table, keyed to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (卧虎藏龙, 2000) and the Huizhou villages; opening count updated twenty-five to twenty-six. | |
| C-Drama Filming Locations in China by Region | Added an Anhui section on the Huizhou villages of Hongcun and Xidi and on Huangshan, the setting for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, with the transport and a link to the new guide. | |
| Chengde Filming Locations: The Eight Outer Temples Are Not Eight | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. Three things are time-sensitive and are dated in the text rather than presented as permanent. First, every price and opening time comes from the scenic area’s own display board, last revised 21 July 2025, and the article tells the reader to reconfirm at the gate rather than rely on the figures in print. Second, the 49-minute train time is a post-1-July-2025 figure that followed the raising of the Beijing-Shenyang line to 350 km/h; before that the fastest service was 52 minutes, and the figure will change again with timetable revisions. Third, the Guanyin at Puning is given as “about 22 metres” because published sources disagree between 22.28 and 27.21 metres; the conflict is stated rather than resolved silently. The central practical claim is that the “Eight Outer Temples” is not a count: twelve were built, seven survive and five can be entered, and that is stated on the record by the Hebei provincial government, which gives the administrative explanation directly. The second claim, that there is no combined ticket, is arithmetic on four separately published ticket prices and is presented as such. The weakest part of the page is the film list, and the article says so in the section where the list appears: the identification of Yanyu Lou with Shufangzhai in My Fair Princess is consistent across Chinese travel writing and fan documentation but is not backed by a production document, and the other three titles are included on a lower standard of evidence. No official filmography exists at the scenic area or the municipal cultural tourism bureau, and the article explains why that absence is structural rather than careless: when the resort stands in for the Forbidden City, the credit goes to Beijing. One item is marked as unresolved and open: the scenic area almost certainly holds an internal record of permitted productions, and it is not published. | |
| China Visa for Foreigners: Entry Rules for C-Drama Travellers (2026) | Corrected the Hainan section. It said there was no C-drama filming location on the island, which is wrong: the province has seven documented locations, including the whole of "Lost in the Stars" (2023), shot there while disguised as Southeast Asia. The section now links to the new Hainan page. The 61-nationality figure was re-checked and is correct, but the derivation printed beside it was not - it read "the 57 transit countries plus Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Kazakhstan", whereas the list is the 59 countries in force before August 2026 plus Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam, added on 20 August 2026. The two schemes are separate policies whose lists overlap; one is not built from the other. The arithmetic happened to land on the right total. | |
| Dalian Filming Locations: The City That Plays Other Cities | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. The Zhongshan Square production list, the Chuang Guandong base address and hours, the Lüshun geography, the 1909 start of tram line 201, the 1997 reclamation date for Xinghai Square and the seasonal windows were verified against government, official-site and Chinese-media sources on 2026-10-17. The guide states plainly that the Goodbye Mr. Loser school was a converted factory set rather than a real school, that the claim rests on fan investigations and self-published walkthroughs rather than an official production statement, and that the site has since decayed; and it separates the Chuang Guandong base, which is a purpose-built attraction, from the city locations that productions borrowed as they were. Where Chinese sources disagree on the base admission price, the article gives the range rather than a single figure. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Daocheng Yading Filming Locations: The Airport Is Almost the Summit | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. Two things are time-sensitive and are dated in the text rather than presented as permanent. First, admission was free for all visitors from 1 August to 31 October 2026 and the shuttle bus and electric cart charges had been suspended since 29 May 2026; the article states that the price after 31 October had not been published at the time of checking, because the cost audit and the price hearing were still outstanding, and it tells the reader to check the official booking channel rather than rely on any figure in print. Second, the three peaks are given at the operator’s own figures, and the article reports that the operator’s main page and its FAQ page disagree on Jampelyang by 75 metres, and that the widely copied 6,032-metre figure belongs to Jampelyang rather than to Chenresig. The central practical claim is that the airport at 4,411 m sits only 189 m below Five Colour Lake at about 4,600 m, so flying in removes the acclimatisation that the two-day drive provides; that is arithmetic on published altitudes, not a medical claim, and the article recommends descending to sleep and delaying the upper valley by a day rather than offering any treatment advice. On the price dispute, every date and every figure is attributed to the official notice, the state or provincial media report, or the on-site reporting named in the sources; the 2014 environmental assessment line about no toll station is quoted as reported. Five items are marked as unresolved: the post-31 October price; the exact boundaries of the off-season ticket, where the ticket page and the bus timetable use ranges that do not meet; the electric cart’s original price, quoted as both 70 and 80 yuan, so both are given; the private-car reservation quota, which had not been published; and the Joseph Rock quotation widely attributed to him in Chinese tourism copy, which could not be sourced and was therefore omitted. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Enshi Filming Locations: The Canyon That Played Xiangxi | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. The claim that the production scouted Xiangxi and could not find a location, the split between the Xiangshan studio interiors and the Enshi exteriors, the four Enshi locations named by the prefecture, the Shennongjia filming record at Dajiuhu, the 2024 UNESCO Global Geopark designation, the 2016 World Heritage inscription, 2026 ticket prices and the high-speed rail history were verified against official, state-media and contemporaneous sources on 2026-10-17. The guide states plainly that a drama titled after Xiangxi in Hunan was shot mainly in Hubei, and gives the production’s own explanation rather than presenting it as a discovery; that the tomb interiors were built at Xiangshan Film City and are not in Enshi; that Zhangjiajie is a different province and a different claim, being the visual prototype for Avatar rather than a shoot location; and that Pingshan Canyon, the most photographed place in the prefecture, is not in any drama covered here. It also corrects the widely repeated statement that the Shennongjia high-speed station was due to open in June 2026 — it opened on 20 June 2022. Where sources disagree on the canyon admission price (185 or 205 yuan), the rift gorge length (20 km or 3.6 km) and the cave entrance height (72 or 74 m), the article gives ranges. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Hainan Filming Locations: Where Lost in the Stars Was Shot | Article published, and corrected the same day. The correction is the point of the page, so the sequence is on the record. Our China visa guide carried a section on Hainan’s island visa-free policy which stated that there is no C-drama filming location on Hainan. That statement is false, and it is false in a way a single afternoon of searching would have caught: a feature film was shot end to end on the island in 2021 and 2022, and the provincial tourism department published a seven-stop itinerary for it in August 2023. The visa page has been corrected and now points here. The first published version of this article went further and also called two of that page’s figures stale, giving 59 nationalities and 55 transit countries. That was wrong. The National Immigration Administration added Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam on 20 August 2026, taking the Hainan scheme to 61 countries and the transit scheme to 57 across 65 open ports, so the numbers on the visa page were current. This article was corrected within the hour and now says so in the body rather than in a footnote, because the mistake is more instructive than the original claim. What survives from it is a narrower and more useful finding: the visa page reaches 61 by adding four countries to the 57 transit countries, which is not how the policy works — the real route is 59 plus Kyrgyzstan and Vietnam — and the arithmetic happens to land on the right total. A right number reached by the wrong route is worse than a wrong one, because it looks verified and breaks silently. The filming claim failed by the same mechanism: we reasoned from what kind of place Hainan is instead of checking, and the reasoning was never tested. Two things on the page are dated rather than presented as permanent. Entry policy moves, so the figures carry the date of the announcement they come from. And the Yalong Bay price is given as a lawful range derived from a 2012 provincial price ruling with a plus-or-minus 20 per cent float, not as a market price, because no single official figure exists to quote. Three things are marked unresolved rather than smoothed over: the film town’s current ticket price, where three sources conflict and the operator’s contact domain did not resolve; whether the Shiling Film Base is open at all, where the province calls it an attraction and recent visitors describe an empty site; and the forest park’s opening hours, which several 2025 sources agree on but none of which is the operator or the price bureau. Monthly average temperatures are deliberately omitted, because the figures in circulation disagree and the dry-season, wet-season and typhoon structure is both more useful and more durable. One editorial decision is worth recording: the page names the fifth structural pattern in this site’s series, after announced, unmentioned, neither and substituted, and calls it rewritten, because Hainan’s invisibility is the product of a disguise that worked rather than of anyone withholding a credit. | |
| Jingdezhen Filming Locations: Two Eras, One Valley | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. The 1974 production history, the three surviving village sites, the 2023-24 drama and its five locations, the 2026 World Heritage inscription, admission prices and booking requirements were verified against official, state-media and travel sources on 2026-10-17. The guide states plainly that the film locations are in Fuling County rather than the urban districts; that The Sparkling Red Star shot almost all of its exteriors around Ehug while a small number of shots were filmed at Qinghua and Sikou in Wuyuan, so both counties have a claim but not an equal one; that Yaoli does not appear in the 1974 film; and that a 30-yuan entry barrier was erected at Yaoli on 10 July 2025 and withdrawn within four days, which makes its ticketing a live policy rather than a fixed fact. Where sources disagree on the Yaoli combined ticket (110 or 80 yuan) and on whether a direct Shanghai high-speed service exists, the article gives both readings. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Kaiping Diaolou Guide: Where Let the Bullets Fly Was Shot | Article published. The page rests on two findings, and the second one changed the draft after the first round of checking. The first is structural: Echeng, the town in Let the Bullets Fly, is not a town and never was. It is three sets in two county-level cities about forty kilometres apart — Mei Courtyard and Gangning Xu in Taishan for the square and the gate, Zili Village in Kaiping for the villain’s house and the towers — and the film cuts between them so that they read as one place. That is a sixth structural pattern for this site, after announced, unmentioned, neither, substituted and rewritten, and we are calling it assembled: a fictional city built out of several real backlots. It also explains something readers keep running into, which is that the same three villages have played at least four different fictional cities in fifteen years. A place that looks convincingly like one lost city will look convincingly like any lost city. The second finding is a correction to our own draft. Chikan Ancient Town is described across the English-language internet as costing 60 yuan, on the strength of its 2023 trial opening. The trial price was 120 yuan for an adult and 60 for a concession, and the full price since 28 January 2025 is 150 with a 75 concession and 68 in the evening. The 60 is real, it is on the operator’s own price board, and it was quoted accurately. It is simply the wrong column. We are treating that as a seventeenth pattern, distinct from the sixteen already recorded on this site, because it is not an outdated figure, a misclassification, a misattribution or a misnomer — it is the right number in the wrong row, which is the hardest kind of error to catch and the most common in Chinese ticket-price writing. The draft was corrected before publication and the error is now the page’s clearest example. Four things are marked unresolved rather than smoothed over: the single-site ticket prices, where sources still disagree on Li Garden and Zili; the combined Chikan tickets, which three resellers quote and the operator does not confirm; whether Gangning’s film-set operation is open, which has no published schedule; and the harvest dates, which nobody publishes and which move by about five days. We also deliberately do not print a count of productions shot in Jiangmen, because every number in circulation includes advertisements and music videos and cannot be checked. One editorial decision is worth recording: the article leads with the towers rather than the film, because the demand for this place is ticket, transport and opening-hours demand rather than film demand, and because the towers are the reason the county is on the map at all. | |
| Wulanbutong Filming Locations: China’s Grassland Backlot | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. The film base location, size and four zones, the production list, the 120-yuan ticket and its 72-hour validity, the included sights and the seasonal windows were verified against encyclopaedia, travel and news sources on 2026-10-17. The guide states plainly that Wulanbutong is in Hexigten Banner, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia rather than Hebei; that Saikhanba is a separate Hebei park on a separate ticket and that crossing the provincial border requires a new ticket for every person in the vehicle; and that Wolf Totem shot its winter material and wolf-training work here while its main summer grassland was Ulagai in Xilin Gol, about 1,000 km away. Where Chinese sources disagree on the number of productions and on the Saikhanba admission price, the article gives the range rather than a single figure. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Wuyishan Filming Locations: The 1986 Journey to the West, Scene by Scene | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. The 1986 Journey to the West location mapping, the 1999 UNESCO dual-heritage listing, the 2021 national park designation, the 2022 intangible-heritage listing, the 2026 free-gate policy, shuttle-bus and raft prices, and the two railway stations were verified against government, official-site and official-media sources on 2026-10-17. The guide states plainly that the Jin Yong adaptations were filmed at Taining rather than Wuyishan; that Wuyishan: Our National Park is a nature documentary rather than a drama; and that the gorge served the 1986 crew as a backdrop rather than a built set. Where Chinese sources disagree on prices, day-pass combinations or raft capacity, the article gives the range rather than a single figure. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Wuyuan Filming Locations: Huangling, the Tiankeng Library and Fifty Years of Chinese Cinema | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. The Huangling AAAAA rating, ticket prices and opening hours, the shaiqiu intangible-heritage listing, the Tiankeng Library and Xiangao City details, the combined-ticket structure and the rail times were verified against government, official-site, official-media and reference sources on 2026-10-17. The guide states plainly that no Harry Potter film has ever been shot in China and that the Tiankeng Library is a 2026 building, not a film set; that Huangling itself is not a filming location; and that the “70 per cent” figure for I Am Not Madame Bovary is a media claim rather than a production statistic. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Wuzhen Filming Locations: The Drama That Didn’t Make This Town Famous | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. The central factual claim is that the town was already a commercial success before Time Flows Like Water aired: Dongzha opened in 2001, annual arrivals reached a million within a year of opening, and the initial 100 million yuan of investment had been recovered by 2003, whereas the series premiered on CCTV on 4 July 2003. That timeline comes from a 2019 retrospective rather than a government yearbook and is marked in the text as secondary, because it contradicts the standard account in Chinese travel writing and in English guidebooks that copy it. The article states plainly that Wuzhen publishes no official filmography, and marks each row of the credits table by how solid it is rather than presenting the list as settled. It also states plainly that the water-town sequence in Mission: Impossible III was shot at Xitang and not here, and that the canal scenes in The Untamed and comparable C-dramas are sets at Hengdian rather than real towns, with the architectural reason given. On the restoration, the article reports the resettlement of Xizha residents, the 10,000-yuan apartment sales, the low-rent public housing and Chen Xianghong’s own justification for them, and draws the conclusion that the ticketed halves of the town are the ones with the fewest residents while the two free quarters are where people still live. Four items are marked as unresolved rather than smoothed over: the absence of any official production list; the opening year of Dongzha, given as 2001 by the operator and 2000 in the Chen Xianghong interview; the K282 fare, quoted at both 3 and 5 yuan, so no figure is given; and the validity period of the combined ticket, which is not stated clearly and changes with the season. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Zhangye Filming Locations: The Rainbow Mountains With the Wrong Name | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. The production list is taken from the Zhangye municipal government’s own scenic-area page, which names The Sun Also Rises (2007), Amazing Detective Di Renjie season three (2008), A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop (2009), The Great Wall (2016) and One Cannot Be Missing (2019) as productions that shot exteriors here. Admission of 70 yuan from 5 January 2026 and the 38-yuan shuttle are taken from two separate municipal price documents rather than from resale listings, and the article states plainly that the 93-yuan package still quoted by third-party sites predates the change. The article also states plainly that the rainbow hills are classified by the administering geopark as colourful hills rather than danxia, that the site is a UNESCO Global Geopark since 7 July 2020 and not a World Heritage site, and that its World Heritage Tentative List entry of 26 June 2025 is under the name Zhangye Colourful Hills rather than Zhangye Danxia. Where English Wikipedia disagrees with the Chinese official figures on area, designation year and rock age, the article uses the Chinese figures and says so in the text. Four items are marked as unverified rather than smoothed over: the Binggou ticket, which has no municipal price document behind it; the bus fare, quoted at both 10 and 15 yuan; the 48-hour re-entry rule, which is scenic-area policy rather than published regulation; and two films attributed to the location in user-generated answers, Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon and The Children of Huang Shi, which appear in no official or contemporaneous source and are therefore not included. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Zhangzhou Filming Locations: The Village the Movie Renamed | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library. The World Heritage breakdown (six clusters, four stand-alone buildings, 46 structures across Nanjing, Hua’an and Yongding), the 3,754 provincial total, the renaming of Changjiao to Yunshuiyao after the 2006 film, the production details of The Knot, the Yongding research trips behind Big Fish & Begonia, the 2012 opening of the Longyan–Xiamen railway, bus route 6, ticket prices and the drive times were verified against official, state-media and contemporaneous sources on 2026-10-17. The guide states plainly that the Big Fish & Begonia prototype is Chengqi Lou in Yongding District, Longyan — not in Zhangzhou — and corrects the widespread practice, including in an official Xinhua feature, of filing that film under Nanjing County because the two counties share one World Heritage inscription. It also states that the claim Mulan (2020) was filmed in the Fujian tulou could not be verified, and gives both what Chinese media reported and what the production record actually says, rather than resolving the question by assertion. Where sources disagree on the Hekeng building count (13 or 14), the Hekeng ticket price (40 or 50 yuan), the Yunshuiyao ticket validity (24 or 48 hours) and the township Yunshuiyao belongs to, the article gives ranges or uses the county level.

All prices are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Guilin and Yangshuo: Filming Locations, the Li River and the 20-Yuan Note | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library.

All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |
| Harbin Filming Locations: The Ice City Behind Chinese Films and Dramas | Article published. Photography from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the captions and in the media library.

Scene-by-scene attributions are marked as reported rather than officially confirmed (see How we checked), and the guide states plainly that a drama set in Harbin is not necessarily shot there — which is why Harbin 1944, filmed largely at a Zhejiang studio, is excluded. All prices, festival dates and hours are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |

The guide states plainly that the 2021 series Luoyang was filmed at Hengdian rather than in Luoyang, that the Detective Dee Tang sets were built, and that the Mingtang, Tiantang and Yingtianmen standing in the city today are modern reconstructions over excavated foundations. No feature film shot on location in Luoyang was found, and the guide says so rather than implying otherwise. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |

The guide states plainly which films really used Zhenbeibao (Red Sorghum, Ashes of Time, A Chinese Odyssey) and which did not (the 1992 New Dragon Gate Inn, whose main exteriors were shot in Gansu; the studio holds a rebuilt set), and sets out the three locations of A Chinese Odyssey — Zhenbeibao, Shahu and Dunhuang. All prices and times are published figures and should be reconfirmed before travel. | |

The Avatar connection is described as inspiration rather than on-location filming, and the Furong Town and Wulong Mountain Bandits locations are noted as being in neighbouring Xiangxi rather than in Zhangjiajie municipality.

The claim that the drama was shot entirely in Ningbo, the five-month shoot and the list of city locations come from Ningbo Daily's own report at the time of broadcast, quoting the production-services centre that hosted the shoot. The Fortune Center's height, construction dates and shipyard site come from Ningbo Evening News. Street and theatre details are attributed to encyclopaedic reference. Film and drama facts are given in English and Chinese, with the international streaming availability checked against Viu and MangoTV. Images are CC BY-SA via Wikimedia Commons, credited in each caption. | |

| Will Love in Spring Filming Locations: The Real Quanzhou | Article published. The claim that most of the drama was shot on location in Quanzhou, the March 2023 start, and the list of named locations come from Quanzhou Evening News and Southeast Net, the city's and province's own news outlets, reporting at the time of broadcast. The fictional town's name (Nanping) is flagged as fictional rather than mapped onto any one real village, because the production used locations across the whole city and its counties. Drama facts (21 episodes, cast, premiere date, source novel) are from Douban. Ticket and opening-hour details are from the city guide and the municipal government. The inbound-travel details — the airport's status as a 240-hour transit port since December 2024, the one-stop service desk, the national inbound-tourism designation — are from Quanzhou Evening News reporting on the August 2026 policy update.

| Chasing Fan Xian Across China: The Joy of Life Filming Locations | Added the verified-on date and source list after a fact-check pass. | |
| Chasing Fan Xian Across China: The Joy of Life Filming Locations | Added a note for visitors from outside China on the Tianjin Binhai Library reservation: it is real-name, it is reserved through the library’s own mini-program, bring the passport, and the staffed desk is the fallback if the system will not take a foreign document. | |
| Chongqing Filming Locations: The First Frost and the 8D City | Added a note for visitors from outside China on buying tickets: the booking channels are Chinese apps, they accept a passport in place of a Chinese ID card, carry the same passport on the day, and the staffed window is the fallback if an app or machine will not take a foreign document. | |
| Duyun Guizhou Filming Locations: The Untamed’s Real Mountains | Added a note for visitors from outside China: the concessions are document-based and the passport is the document, with the staffed window as the fallback. | |
| Essential China Travel Apps for Foreigners: A Short, Honest List | Added a note for visitors from outside China on buying tickets: rail booking is real-name and passport-based via 12306 or Trip.com, while attraction mini-programs may be Chinese-only — use the staffed ticket window where available. Also revised the "what to skip" advice so that a Chinese ID prompt is not treated as automatically disqualifying. | |
| Finding the Real Cloud Recesses: The Untamed in Guizhou | Added a note for visitors from outside China on the Qin-Han Movie & TV City ticket: the free and concession categories are document-based, the passport stands in for a Chinese ID card, and the staffed sales window is the fallback. | |
| Hangzhou Filming Locations: The Best Thing and the City That Plays Itself | Page published as the Hangzhou entry in the Places index. Location list verified against Tide News’ 2025-02-27 report; the Lingyin–Feilaifeng free-and-reservation change (effective 2025-12-01) confirmed with the West Lake Scenic Area Management Committee; Leifeng Pagoda (¥40), Mengxiyuan (¥80) and the ¥3 East River water bus checked against their operators. Prices dated 12 October 2026. | |
| Hengdian World Studios: Tickets, Zones & Transport | Added a "Which drama was filmed in which zone" table (The Untamed, Joy of Life, Nirvana in Fire, A Dream of Splendor, The Story of Minglan, Story of Yanxi Palace, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace), absorbed from an unpublished early draft. | |
| How Many Days Do You Need for a C-Drama Filming Location Trip? | Added a note for visitors from outside China: book rail on 12306 with your passport number — on a passport booking the passport is your ticket at the gate, and the staffed lane is the fallback if the automated gate will not read it. | |
| How to Pay in China as a Foreigner: Alipay & WeChat Pay | Added a table of the card-linking error messages foreign visitors actually see, with the fix for each, absorbed from an unpublished early draft. | |
| Jinyun Xiandu: The Cliffs Behind Joy of Life and Lost You Forever | Added a note for visitors from outside China: the gate ticket is real-name, so buy with the passport you will show at the gate. | |
| Joy of Life Filming Locations: Fan Xian’s China You Can Actually Walk | Fact-check pass: confirmed prices, opening hours and transport against primary sources; added the verified-on date and source list. | |
| Joy of Life Filming Locations: Fan Xian’s China You Can Actually Walk | Added a note for visitors from outside China on buying Tang City and Hengdian tickets: both take a passport in place of a Chinese ID card, and the staffed window is the fallback. | |
| Lost You Forever Filming Locations: The Real Places You Can Visit (长相思) | Corrected the Hengdian rail station name (Hengdian station, not "Hengdian East") and the line serving Jinyun West (Jinhua-Wenzhou line, not "Nanjing-Wenzhou"); added the verified-on date and source list. | |
| Lost You Forever Filming Locations: The Real Places You Can Visit (长相思) | Corrected the hanfu-rental advice: Xiaohongshu is useful for research only, and rental should be arranged on arrival or through the shop’s WeChat — it is not a practical booking channel for visitors without a Chinese account. | |
| Love Like the Galaxy Filming Locations: Where It Was Really Shot | Article published. Confirmed the two-studio answer (Hengdian Qinqing Palace + Duyun Qin & Han Studio City) against the Duyun municipal / Guizhou provincial tourism write-up; flagged scene-by-scene fan maps and other studio names as unconfirmed; added the Duyun lantern-festival set and ticket details. | |
| Love Like the Galaxy Filming Locations: Where It Was Really Shot | Added a note for visitors from outside China on buying tickets at Hengdian and Duyun Qin & Han Studio City: the passport is the ID and the staffed ticket window is the fallback. Noted that concession eligibility for foreign-issued documents is not stated by the operator. | |
| Meet Yourself Filming Locations: The Real Dali Behind the Slowest C-Drama | Fact-check pass: confirmed prices, opening hours and transport against primary sources; added the verified-on date and source list. | |
| Nirvana in Fire Filming Locations: Finding the Real Langya Mountain | Added a note for visitors from outside China on buying tickets: the official online channel is built for Chinese ID holders, so buy with a passport at a staffed ticket window, and the areas are ticketed separately. | |
| Pursuit of Jade Filming Locations: Where It Was Really Shot | Article published. Confirmed the Xianju and Xinchang locations against the Zhejiang provincial culture and tourism department write-up; flagged the Xiangshan / Yunnan / Sichuan / Hangzhou / Dongyang claims as unverified and explained the "Lengquan" confusion. | |
| Pursuit of Jade Filming Locations: Where It Was Really Shot | Added a note for visitors from outside China on buying tickets for Shenxianju, Potan Ancient Town and the Yong’an Creek rafting: use the passport as the identity document and the staffed counter as the fallback. | |
| Qingdao Filming Locations: The City That Plays Every Chinese High School | Added a note for visitors from outside China on buying tickets: the attractions issue real-name tickets, so buy with the passport you will show at the gate, and the staffed window is the fallback. | |
| Rose Story Filming Locations: Chasing Liu Yifei Across Beijing and Shanghai | Fact-check pass: confirmed prices, opening hours and transport against primary sources; added the verified-on date and source list. | |
| Rose Story Filming Locations: Chasing Liu Yifei Across Beijing and Shanghai | Added a "Booking as a visitor from outside China" note: the Palace Museum ticket is real-name, the passport stands in for a Chinese ID card, and the staffed window is the fallback. | |
| Swords Into Plowshares Filming Locations: The Real Wuyue Kingdom (太平年) | Fact-check pass: confirmed prices, opening hours and transport against primary sources; added the verified-on date and source list. | |
| Swords Into Plowshares Filming Locations: The Real Wuyue Kingdom (太平年) | Added a note for visitors from outside China on buying tickets: entry is real-name, the passport stands in for a Chinese ID card, and where a third-party booking page will not accept a passport number, buy at the window. | |
| The Best Thing Filming Locations: Where It Was Really Shot | Article published. Confirmed the district-level location list against Tide News’ 2025-02-27 report (Zhejiang Daily Press Group); corrected the Xiaohe Zhijie length to 1,000 m+ with 30-plus zanhua studios per Hangzhou city media; flagged the moved breakfast shop, the park cherry tree that was a prop, and the working hospitals as things not to plan around. | |
| The Best Thing Filming Locations: Where It Was Really Shot | Added a note for visitors from outside China: nothing on this trail needs pre-booking, but the water bus and the metro take the Alipay or WeChat transit code rather than cash, and that code must be activated before arrival. | |
| The Best Time to Visit China for Filming Locations | Added a note for visitors from outside China: book rail on 12306 with your passport number — on a passport booking the passport is your ticket at the gate, and the staffed lane is the fallback if the automated gate will not read it. | |
| The Untamed Filming Locations: Every Real Place Fans Can Visit in China | Fact-check pass: confirmed prices, opening hours and transport against primary sources; added the verified-on date and source list. | |
| The Untamed in Hengdian: A Scene-by-Scene Photo Guide | Fact-check pass: confirmed prices, opening hours and transport against primary sources; added the verified-on date and source list. | |
| The Untamed in Hengdian: A Scene-by-Scene Photo Guide | Added a note for visitors from outside China on the Dream Valley ticket: it is real-name and entry is by facial recognition, so a passport alone will not open the turnstile — use the staffed lane, and buy at the gate if a third-party page rejects a passport number. | |
| The Zhejiang Film Route: Hengdian, Xiangshan and Jinyun in Five Days | Added a "Tickets and ID" note for visitors from outside China: the passport works at every gate on this route, and the staffed ticket window is the fallback if a mini-program or machine will not take a foreign document. | |
| Wuxi Film Studios: China’s First Film-Tourism Base | Clarified that the operator does not state whether a foreign passport qualifies for the 60–69 senior concession; readers should confirm at the staffed window before selecting a reduced ticket. | |
| Xiamen Filming Locations: Hidden Love and the Island City | Added a note for visitors from outside China on the two real-name items — the Gulangyu ferry and the Xiamen University quota: both accept a passport, both sell through official mini-programs, and the staffed window is the fallback. | |
| Xiangyang Tang City: Joy of Life and Legend of the Demon Cat | Added a note for visitors from outside China: the half-price ID concession means a passport, and tickets are bought at the gate or through the operator’s channels with a passport standing in for a Chinese ID card. | |
| Yandang Mountain (雁荡山): Which of the Eight Scenic Areas to Choose | Added a note for visitors from outside China on buying the combined ticket: the ticket is issued against an identity document, so buy with the passport you will show at the gate, and the staffed window is the fallback. | |
| A Dream of Splendor Filming Locations: Lake Tai, Not West Lake | Article published. The Wuxi and Hengdian location mapping comes from contemporaneous Chinese press coverage at the time of broadcast, cross-checked across three outlets and consistent between them; it is attributed as reported rather than official, because the production has not published a location list. The structure of the Wuxi base itself (which park contains which sights) is verified against the Binhu District government's own description. | |
| China’s Ski Resorts: Where Ski into Love Was Filmed | Page published. The filming locations and the producer's statement that all skiing scenes were shot at Beidahu come from Chinese press reporting of the production. Jikepulin's 1,466 m vertical, its 2,848 m high point and the 5,129-hectare master plan are taken from reference material and the Burqin county government respectively; the national ski tourism resort designation is dated to February 2024. Cost ranges, vertical figures for the Jilin resorts and the temperature range come from a specialist English-language China ski guide and are labelled indicative — the operator's own booking channel remains the authority, and Beidahu's official site was not reachable at the time of writing. | |
| Chongqing Filming Locations: The First Frost and the 8D City | Page published. Ticket prices, opening hours and the Wulong exit-shuttle suspension checked against the operators' own published figures on this date. | |
| Finding the Real Cloud Recesses: The Untamed in Guizhou | Expanded the guide with a Qin-Han Movie & TV City ticket-and-hours section, a Luosike Mountain access section and a FAQ. Session hours and free/concession categories checked against the operator's notice published by the Duyun municipal government on this date. | |
| Hengdian vs Xiangshan vs Wuxi: Which Chinese Film Studio to Visit | Page published. Hengdian and Xiangshan figures taken from each operator's own published material; Wuxi's structure and founding details verified against the district government, with its ticket prices flagged as indicative because the operator publishes no price list. | |
| Hengdian’s Ming Qing Palace: The Forbidden City You Have Actually Seen | Article published. The 1:1 replica claim, the zone's listed sights and the 72,000 capacity figure come from the operator's own Ming Qing Palace page; the construction dates and site area come from encyclopaedic reference material. The Palace Museum's filming ban is attributed to reporting rather than to a primary museum statement, and the page says so. Ticket prices are labelled indicative: the operator prices zones individually and third-party listings disagree, so no figure is presented as official. | |
| How Many Days Do You Need for a C-Drama Filming Location Trip? | Corrected the high-speed rail pre-sale window: tickets open 14 days before departure (a 15-day window counting the day you book), verified against China Railway 12306. | |
| How Many Days Do You Need for a C-Drama Filming Location Trip? | Added a "Last verified" date and the official 12306 sources for the booking window. | |
| Nirvana in Fire Filming Locations: Finding the Real Langya Mountain | Article published. Yandang's eight scenic areas, the free station shuttle and the Lingyan–Fangdong price merge checked against the Wenzhou and Yueqing government notices and the operator's own transport and FAQ pages on this date. The three-way split of the show's locations (Yandang landscape, Xiangshan sets, Hengdian scenes) is attributed to a first-hand visitor survey and flagged as such. | |
| Qingdao Filming Locations: The City That Plays Every Chinese High School | Page published. The three official drama routes, their stop order and the productions credited to each were taken from the Qingdao Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau's own 2024 route release. The school location was verified against the school's official site, which is also the basis for the page's warning that it is a working school with no visitor access. Badaguan's split between free public streets and separately ticketed villas, and the official address, come from the municipal government. The beer festival dates are labelled as the most recent edition rather than a fixed date. Ticketed attractions are deliberately left unpriced because several operators price them separately and third-party figures are unreliable. | |
| The Zhejiang Film Route: Hengdian, Xiangshan and Jinyun in Five Days | Corrected the rail line serving Jinyun West: it is the Jinhua–Wenzhou (金温) line, not a "Nanjing–Wenzhou" line. | |
| The Zhejiang Film Route: Hengdian, Xiangshan and Jinyun in Five Days | Corrected the Ningbo→Xiangshan coach fare: ¥49.9 covers the round-trip coach only, not the entrance ticket, and it was a seasonal 2025 event service. | |
| The Zhejiang Film Route: Hengdian, Xiangshan and Jinyun in Five Days | Added a "Last verified" date and an official source list for this route's transport and ticketing facts. | |
| Wuxi Film Studios: China’s First Film-Tourism Base | Page published. Founding date, area, the three component parks and the named sights verified against the Binhu District government's own description; bus 82 routing, fares, free luggage storage and the separately ticketed stage show taken from the operator's official FAQ. Ticket prices are deliberately left unpriced: the operator does not publish a list, and third-party figures are labelled as indicative only. | |
| Xiamen Filming Locations: Hidden Love and the Island City | Page published. Ferry piers, fares and the 20-day return rule checked against the operator's own notice; the campus-opening hours and the university quota system checked against the two institutions' own announcements on this date. | |
| Yandang Mountain (雁荡山): Which of the Eight Scenic Areas to Choose | Page published. Ticket structure, the ¥80 government ceiling on the merged Lingyan–Fangdong area, the retained ¥50/¥40 single-area prices, the free station shuttle and the peak-season calendar were all verified against the Yueqing government notice and the operator's own transport and FAQ pages on this date. | |
| Xiangshan Film City: The Other Half of Joy of Life’s Capital | Corrected the ticket price to the operator’s own published figure (¥150 standard, with the full official concession list), replaced the vague opening-hours line with the official winter schedule of 08:30–16:00 effective 8 October 2026, and added the operator hotline and a "Last verified" date. | |
| Dali and Shaxi Filming Locations: The Real Meet Yourself in Yunnan | Rewrote the Cangshan cableway fares: the Gantong cableway is published at ¥100 round trip / ¥65 one way, and the Ximatan round trip is now quoted as a range linked to the operator's official mini-program. Added the operator's notice and a "Last verified" date. | |
| The Best Time to Visit China for Filming Locations | Added a "Last verified" date and the State Council 2026 public holiday schedule and the 12306 pre-sale window as sources. | |
| Beijing Filming Locations: Where C-Dramas Are Really Shot | Added a "Visiting as a foreign visitor" section on passport-based booking and the no-same-day-ticket rule. | |

| Dali and Shaxi Filming Locations: The Real Meet Yourself in Yunnan | Added a "Visiting as a foreign visitor" section on passport-based cableway tickets and altitude. | |
| Duyun Guizhou Filming Locations: The Untamed’s Real Mountains | Added a "Last verified" date and the Duyun municipal notice as the source for the Qin-Han Film City ticket. | |
| Duyun Guizhou Filming Locations: The Untamed’s Real Mountains | Added a "Visiting as a foreign visitor" section on limited English signage and car hire. | |
| Essential China Travel Apps for Foreigners: A Short, Honest List | Added a "Last verified" date and official sources for the app listings. | |

| Hengdian World Studios: Tickets, Zones & Transport | Added a "Last verified" date and an official source list for the ticketing facts. | |
| How to Book Train Tickets in China: A High-Speed Rail Guide for Foreigners | Corrected the ticket-gate cut-off: it varies by station (roughly 2–12 minutes), not a flat three; added the China Railway explainer and 12306 sources. | |
| How to Pay in China as a Foreigner: Alipay & WeChat Pay | Added a "Last verified" date and official sources for the raised transaction limits and the card fee threshold. | |
| Jinyun Xiandu: The Cliffs Behind Joy of Life and Lost You Forever | Corrected the ticket and opening-hours facts to the scenic area's official figures (¥90 adult plus ¥20 shuttle; seasonal 7:30–17:30 / 08:00–17:00 hours) and added the official source. | |
| Jinyun Xiandu: The Cliffs Behind Joy of Life and Lost You Forever | Added a "Visiting as a foreign visitor" section, including the local-residency condition on the free-entry promotion. | |
| Shanghai Filming Locations for C-Drama Fans | Rewrote the Shanghai Film Park ticket and opening-hours details to the official visitor guide (¥80 adult, ¥10 tram, 8:30–16:30, stunt shows at 10:30 and 13:30) and added the source. | |
| Shanghai Filming Locations for C-Drama Fans | Added a "Visiting as a foreign visitor" section on the Jinshan Railway (no ID required) and metro ride codes. | |
| Xiangshan Film City: The Other Half of Joy of Life’s Capital | Added a "Visiting as a foreign visitor" section covering the official combo ticket's Chinese-ID requirement and the on-site single-zone ticket alternative. | |
| Xiangyang Tang City: Joy of Life and Legend of the Demon Cat | Corrected the senior-ticket wording to the published ¥53 concession and flagged the Chinese-ID condition; added the official source. | |
| Xiangyang Tang City: Joy of Life and Legend of the Demon Cat | Added a "Visiting as a foreign visitor" section covering the evening show and Monday closures. |
