Live in the Screen Without Knowing It. Are You Such a Qingdao?
—— A List of the "most photogenic" places in Qingdao
Surprised at the title? Think of Qingdao as the seaview town that the hero of The Truman Show lives in? Is everything intentionallyarranged and false? Haha, it's not the case. Finding a view in Qingdao for TV drama and film is nothing new, just as for the film Tiny Dust, True Love, in which Qingdao actors tell about stories happened there, Qingdao is a must for shooting. Places like the May Fourth Square, Olympic Sailing Center, Badaguan, Shazikou, and No. 5 Navy Pier are selected one after another. Do you feel surprised to see the scenery in real life be put on the screen? Will you point to the TV and tell others, "Look, I have been to this place"? Here, let's make a list of some places that are suitable for shooting movies and TV plays in Qingdao. Welcome to join our discussion and offer your suggestion.
Small declaration: There are many places that are suitable for the screen in Qingdao, as every place has its own unique charm. The following places are randomly listed just for a free talk, and please feel free to read.
When it comes to Qingdao, the sea is an eternal topic. The unique blue sea and sky here are quite popular with directors. There are many places for framing along the coastal line.
NO.1 Zhanqiao Pier
"Rainbow lying on the waves, flying pavilion back to the sea" just refers to Zhanqiao Pier. A half-round breakwater was built on the south of the bridge, and there is a two-storeyOctagon House within it named "Huilan Pavilion". Standing next to the pavilion, enjoying great waves flooding in, gazing at the distance, with unbroken hills leaping to the eyes, you can see the masterful combination of modern skyscrapers and European traditional buildings. Dense mist makes Qingdao more like a wonderland when the weather is not so sunny. Regardless of distant view, mid-shot or close shot, you can take refreshingand beautiful photos. Seagulls steal the show from time to time, which makes the picture even more vivacious, if you are the director, will you let these beautiful scenes slip away?
Quiet Trestle starred by Huang Shengyi(also known as Eva Huang), Those Innocent Years starred by Xia Yu, The Underdog Knight starred by Liu Ye, and With You starred byLiu Haoran and Tan Songyun all found views here.
For those friends who have been to Zhanqiao Pier, when you are watching TV, would you think that: among the seagulls on TV, is there the one I've fed before?
NO.2 Xiaoqingdao Islet
Xiaoqingdao Islet is known as "Qindao Island" as the sea waves beating the shore sound like Chinese guqin. With high and beautiful mountains and rocks, lush forests, red reefs and blue waves, green trees and white towers, the scenery is like a beautiful picture. There is a white tower standing on the island; it is the flag of ship sailing, and lilies are blooming all over the island. At night, the lady holding a Chinese guqinwould stare at the sea under the bright moonlight on the flat square of the south shadowy island. Walking under the flashing beacon lights on the tower, you will feel that the time is slowing down.
Xiaoqingdao Islet appeared in The Underdog Knight has a hazy beauty in the dense fog. It seems that this scenery with "automatic filters" can only be shot in Qingdao.
NO.3 Bathing Beach
Qingdao has the first, second and third bathing beach. Let's call them "Bathing Beaches". They are "star attractions" that "made cameo appearances" in a number of films and television works. The waves lash against the red reef in the blue sea and on the golden sand. When the sea breeze is blowing, actors are supposed to walk on the beach with their sleeves fluttering and hair flying. The hero holds the heroine's hand...... just think about it, so romantic!
Directors did not let us down, as they have took advantages of the landscape and presented it together with the actors in films and television works. Once upon a Time in Qingdao starred by Huang Bo,Where Are All The Timestarred by Yang Zi and GuoPinchao, Those Innocent Years starred by Xia Yu, and A Clear Midsummer Night starred by Liu Kaiwei and Yang Mi, as well as "With You" mentioned above, are all included.
NO.4 Olympic Sailing Center
There are not only sailboats at the Olympic Sailing Center, and many beautiful yachts also anchor here. At first glance, it makes people feel that they are in the blockbusters of Hollywood. There is a plank road alongside cliffs going deep into sea at the southernmost of the center, known as the "Lover Dam". It is a unique image when seeing a boat going to the sea and becoming a white point floating on its surface.
There is a white lighthouse at the end of the plank road, which has ever barred Zhang Yixingwho sent flag signals in Go fighting! (Chinese TV show). In addition, there are a variety of bars, coffee shops, and restaurants. The flashing neon lights along the way weave the beauty of the night. Olympic Sailing Center is gorgeous and prosperous, and also romantic and beautiful. Does the refreshing scene in A Clear Midsummer Night make youyearn for a fated encounter? The magnificentseaviewin this play is in Qingdao, and Olympic Sailing Center is one of the important filming spots.
NO.5Qingdao Yinhai International Yacht Club
The reason why I mention the club is that as the first high-end tourism top brand on the sea, it is constructed and operated in accordance with international norms in Chinese mainland. And it is also China's first AAAA tourist attraction taking yacht club as the subject, in which there located the largest starfish-typed steel statueof the world, the Site of China Sea Level Datum, the world’s first Rainbow Bridge built on the sea that can be opened and closed by hydraulic machinery, etc. Does it sound great?
In the beginning of the movie The Gem of Life starred by Chen Hao, He Zhenan (played by Chen Hao) and GaoChangsheng (played by Lin Baoyi) had a boat race here. And this place was also filmed in the movie Kung Fu Pop starred by Chen Bolin.
NO.6 Seashore Boardwalk
The Seashore Boardwalk starts from Tuandao Road Loop in the west and ending at the sidewalk of Shilaoren (Old Stone Man) park in the east. Every step walking along the coastline has its own distinctive features. Strolling on the plank road, people can enjoy the sea breeze whooshing through their faces, and it couldn't be better for them to pour out feelings and enhance relationships with each other.
The serial Romance of Our Parents starred by Guo Tao presents us sincere and enduring love, and the Seashore Boardwalk in the play has added some glamour of romance. In the serial With You, this plank road also played a subtle role for adding flavors of youth to the figures, GengGengand Lu Xinghe. It seems that this site is really a wild card.
NO.7 Shilaoren
In the golden zone on the west side of the Shilaoren village, a stone pillar of 17 meters high standing there seems like an old man sitting in the blue waves, so it is called "Shilaoren" (Old Stone Man). It is not hard to presume that Shilaoren has a story to tell because of its name. According to legend, Shilaoren was an industrious and kind fisherman originally living at the foot of Laoshan Mountain with his smart and beautiful daughter. One day, however, his daughter was plundered into the dragon prince' palace, so the poor old man began to call her at the seashore day and night. He desperately expected for his daughter regardless of his knees flooded by waters. Till his sideburns had turned grey and his back was like a bending bow, he still insisted on waiting by the sea. Later, the dragon king cast magic on the old man while he was sitting and thinking in waters, and then his body started to gradually become as rigid as a stone. When hearing about her father's death, the young girl was overwhelmed with grief and hardly wished to live. She risked her life to get out of the dragon palace, running towards her stone-like father. The flowers she wore on her head was blown down by the sea wind, falling onto the island and taking roots. That's why all areas of Changmenyan and Daguan Island were covered with common wild camellia flowers. When the young girl was approaching Laoshan, the dragon king cast spell again to transform her into a huge reef and let her stand alone on the sea. Since then, the father and daughter could only look to each other across the sea, and this huge reef was called "Daughter Reef" for commemoration. Putting aside legend, the so called "Shilaoren" is just a typical sea stack landscape of the bedrock coastline in China.
Though not happy the legend is, the scenery here is extraordinary attractive. The movie Love Evolutionism starred by DuanYihong and Guo Biting took pictures in this sea area and land.
NO.8 Golden Beach
"Clear waters and smooth beach, the powder-like sands are so fine, glistening with golden lights." Waters in the bay is clear and smoothly waving, the beach land is relatively flat with no steep slopes, and the sands here are soft and fine. When walking on the golden beach, your mood will be as beautiful as the scenery. This spectacle in a film will be a visual feast for the audience.
The serial Go!Goal!Fighting!starred by Hu Ge also left its footprints here.
Do you think that the reason Qingdao is favored by directors is just because of its geographical advantage that it locates near the sea? Maybe you have not found that what makes Qingdao more charming is the perfect combination of natural scenery and European style. Although some of the European buildings are recorded as something disgraceful in history books, from another perspective, the foreign cultures left with us is really eternal after the changes of times.
NO.9 Qingdao Railway Station
It is generally said that the first impression for a city could be determined by its railway station. Qingdao Railway Station is a "marriage" between Chinese and western architectural style. A view of red tiles and yellow walls can be captured only 300 meters away from the seashore, where people can feel the breath of the sea when outbound as a kind of sensory enjoyment.
In the movie The World Without Thieves, the performance of Liu Dehua(also known as Andy Lau) and Liu Ruoying (also known as Rene Liu) makes people lament the helplessness and fate of small figures, and the place where the story happened is just the Qingdao railway station.
NO.10 Churches
The European styles in Qingdao make people unwilling to leave. The old churches in Qingdao, one of the typical representatives, provide this city with more profound charms.
Qingdao Catholic Church
Originally named St. Michael's Cathedral, the Catholic Church is designed by the German designer Arthur Bialucha and inherited from Gothic and Roman architectural style. The plane of the church presents a "cross" shape, and there is a platform 30 meters above the front side and two symmetrical and towering bell towers are respectively located on either side of the church. Each of them is 60 meters high. Inside the towers, four huge bronze bells hang with melodious and harmonious rings. A large rose window is mounted above the door and one crucifix with a height of 4.5 meters settled on each side of it. The church is constructed with the combination of reinforced concretes and granites. The roof is covered with tongue-shape tiles, magnificent, ancient and elegant.
Underdog Knight 2 and The Floating Landscape starred by Lin Jiaxin, Zheng Yijian and Liu Ye were both filmed in here.
Qingdao Protestant Church
The Protestant Church Gospel Church is a typical German building of castle style, neighbored by the Signal Hill (Xinhaoshan Mountain) in the east with beautiful sceneries. It is composed of the bell tower and the auditorium. The famous writer Shen Congwen wrote "I walked to the front gate of the church located on that highland, Qingdao, sitting on one of the stone stairs, watching the clouds, sea and the climbing figs growing on the stone walls of the church. A series of piano sounds flow out from someone's house nearby into my ears..." This is the narration from Mr. Shen when he was visiting around the Protestant Church on Jiangsu Road in Qingdao, Shandong Province. The sense of color inside the church is very strong, and it seems like you have found yourself in a fairyland or the medieval Europe. It is composed of rough and uneven granites, with red roof and cream-colored walls. The big black iron gate, like a shackle, seals the ancient code.
The serial Silence starred by Zhou Yumin was once taken here.
Qingdao St. Paul's Church
The church covers an area of 1,482 square meters and can accommodate more than 300 people for worshiping. Its exterior walls are made of fine red bricks. The square-shaped bell tower can be reached by climbing up 60 stairs inside the church. It is a Roman-style building, solid and magnificent. The bell tower is 24 meters high and becomes a scenery spot of many nearby streets.
This plain and elegant church seems not to attract the attention of directors, but its "appearance" and "connotation" are obvious to all. I believe that there must be a "destined director" who will present its unique beauty to audiences.
In films and television works, churches always remind audiences of devoutness and deep love. Maybe it is the actors who vivify the scene, or the scene that inspires the actors, or they promote each other.
NO. 11 Badaguan
Qingdao is known as the "World Architectural Expo". Only Badaguan has different characteristic architectures of 24 countries with ten quiet and cool roads vertically and horizontally lying there. The main road is named after eight famous passes of China, collectively known as Badaguan. During the 1930s and 1940s, a group of Chinese and foreign architects designed and built dozens of buildings in different styles in this land, which constitutes a unique landscape with green trees and the blue sea. Surrounded by trees with blue sky and clean water, villas stand in great numbers, and mountains, sea and European-style architectures are in perfect unity. Here becomes a beauty spot to reflect Qingdao's feature of "red tiles, green trees, blue sea and azure sky".
"Taohualou" at 21 Shanhaiguan Road is one of the filming spots of the movie Down-trodden Peach Blossom with Hu Die. This is the first time that a film has been shot in Qingdao, and that means a lot. In addition, the mansion of Luo Xiaobei in the TV play Matched For Marriage belongs to the architectural complex of Badaguan. Looking for villas to shoot and to be off the beaten track? Welcome to Badaguan!
This place provides some of the settings for many TV plays like Ice and Fire of Youth starred by JiaNailiang, That Love Comes by Zheng Yuanchang and Li Fei'er, and With You by Liu Haoran and Tan Songyun. Therefore, it is not strange that plenty of crews choose Badaguan as a filming spot for its beauty.
NO.12 Governor’s Office of Jiao Ao
The Governor’s Office is made of granite with European public architectural feature of the 19th century. It is a concave shape with a roof covered by red tubes. It faces the sea with the hills as a background. The square in front of the building is quite open, which seems more spectacular.
In Once upon a Time in Qingdao starred by Huang Bo, this building plays an important role. This place can't be more suitable for making films and television works whose background setin the Republican period in China. The director‘s taste is really admired.
NO. 13 Guest House
Guest House, the former residence of the German governor, is a typical European castle-style building. It's a combination of the typical architectural style both in William's age and the youth style. The internal layout of this house is elegant and luxurious in an extraordinary style. When placing yourself in this house, you can feel the strong atmosphere of the European court. Meanwhile, Guest House is a museum where rarities and treasures of eastern and western countries are collected.
If You Are the One starred by Ge You and The Beauty Remainsstarred by Zhou Xun found views here. Do you still remember the scene Zhou Xun and Wu Junmei wearing colorful and feathered costumes to contest in the Guest House?
NO. 14 The street of cultural celebrities' former residence
Many foreign-style former houses that cultural celebrities have lived in can be found in this street, including Kang Youwei's, Shen Congwen's, Hong Shen's and Wen Yiduo's. Along the rolling and winding street, you can enjoy European-style buildings, and watch well-arranged vaults with red tiles, yellow walls and clerestories, which seem to be connected with the city culture of Qingdao.
Have you found the Former Residence of Kang Youwei here is the filming spot of Tongshi Public Security Bureau in Love me, If you dare where Li Xunran serves?
Parks and squares here are also welcomed in films and television works. There are so many beautiful parks and squares in Qingdao, and I only choose several typical ones to describe in this article.
NO. 15 Qingdao Zhongshan Park
Many cities in China have their own Zhongshan Park. They have the same name, but different scenery. Qingdao Zhongshan Park is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it faces the sea on the south. This park owns dense forest, which is regarded as the most distinctive scenic spot of vegetation landscapes in Qingdao. Especially in the season of cherry blossoms, the over 700-meter cherry avenue is like a carpet of flowers. Nearly 2,000 cherry trees are in full bloom like sea of flowers in a pink fairyland, glorious as rosy clouds.
When people walk in this avenue, their faces areas red as cherry blossom. The breeze blows; the rain of petals fall, the beauty is surrounded by the petals... How beautiful, fairy, and pink the scene is! Just imagine, my heart that has been quiet for a long time, starts to beat faster.
However, multitudinousvisitors seem to bring about a big issue of site-clearing if the scene is filmed. But the "appearance" of Zhongshan Park can't be ignored because of it! If you can't see these from the screen, come to Qingdao personally to feel this fantastic place.
NO. 16 Xinhaoshan Park
XinhaoshanMountain is not only a good place for watching flowers and trees, but also the best place for mountain-climbing and sightseeing of Qingdao. Although Xinhaoshan Park is not large, you will find beautiful scenery everywhere when walking through it. Overlooking from the gazebo of Xinhaoshan, you will have a panoramic view of the old city, including yellow houses, red roofs as well as the Huiquan Bay. The scenery here can be blended in any film and television work except costume pieces. Even shooting here without actors can also bring visual enjoyment in film editing.
XinhaoshanMountain is not high, so it's not tiring to climb up. The TV play With You gives full play to the scenery here. It is the Xinhaoshan that the classmates in the play chose to climb for autumn outing. Overlooking and shouting slogans of the plot also present the old city's over-head view.
NO.17 Sculpture Park
A characteristic of the east coast of Qingdao is that it has wide road and few pedestrians. Along the road people can enjoy the sculpture, see the seaview and feel the nature. The Sculpture Park combines human geography, urban planning, environmental art, landscape art, and historical cultural in harmony. The modern style bus shelters, leisure chairs, colorful corridors, waterside pavilions, and buildings and gardens with different styles add radiance and beauty to each other. It can be said that there is nice scenery everywhere. It is a very beautiful artistic enjoyment for the audience to see after being put onto the screen.
The sculpture "Between Heaven and Earth" just appeared in the serial Silence.
NO.18 May Fourth Square
The May Fourth Square is a popular place of large flow of people regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter. The bawling of peddlers, the laughter of children, and the occasional fountain show are very lively. It was named after the May Fourth Movement,a nationwide protest started in Qingdao in Chinese modern history. It is adjacent to the office building of Qingdao City Hall on the north, borders on Fushan Bay in the south, and covers a total area of 10hectares. The May Fourth Square is divided into two parts, the north and the south, where the City Hall, Hidden fountain, Lattice fountain, "Wind of May" sculpture, 100-meter fountain at sea and so on are distributed on the central axis. It is now a landmark in Qingdao and has appeared in many films and television works.
In Kung Fu Pop2starred by Chen Bolin, does the scene that a group of people dancing in front of the "Wind of May" impress you? In addition, both Chinese Style Divorce starred by Chen Daoming and Jiang Wenli and Silence starred by Zhou Yumin took scenes here.
If you can find a city in whicheverywhere is of good view, then the place is real and beautiful to the bone. Qingdao is such a place where residential areas and streets can be shown randomly in film and on TV.
NO.19Li Yuan (Backyard)
Li Yuan is a unique form of residential architecture created by Qingdao people, which combines the architectural features of traditional Chinese courtyard style with western commercial apartments. From green bricks and black tiles to plastered red tiles, Li Yuan carries the cultural memory of Qingdao people, which is also a city symbol of Qingdao. These old buildings with more than 100 years' history and of orderly system often become the scene of movies or TV plays.
The suspense and thriller blockbuster Hide and Seek starred by HuoJianhua was once shot here.
NO.20 Western Old City
There are some winding roads and alleys, red bricks and yellow walls with the smell of ages. And green creepers are attached to the walls. The peaceful scene shows that time is so quiet.
The Play Watching The Sky starred by Zhao Wenxuan and Li Qin once took scenes here, plain and full of warm hope.
NO.21Taidong Pedestrian Street
Do you think Taidong is just a place for shopping and eating? Too young, too simple! As the saying goes, "Watching murals in the morning and lights at night; shopping and relaxing in Taidong", which means Taidong is a very popular place. The aerial photo of streets often appear in films and television works, with pedestrians jostling, real and shocking. Follow the hero, walking in and strolling around, the natural and cordial scenes will certainly make the audience more favorable.
No Other Love directed by Zhao Wei took scenes in Taidong. In addition, when watching the drama Weightlifting Fairy, Kim Bok-jooand attracted by the hero's handsome appearance, did you find the super familiar scene is our pedestrian street?
As a quasi-first-tier megacity, Qingdao has many places for high-end entertainment. Of course, the unique mountain scenery of Qingdao makes these places worth it.
NO.22 Shilaoren Golf Course
Golf course seems to be a standard feature in TV plays to show someone is "tall, rich and handsome". Shilaoren Golf Club is an 18-hole stadium in accordance with international standard. The most fascinating coastline section of Qingdao winds around the stadium. Enjoying the beauty of the seaside from each fairway, you'll find all kinds of beautiful things with the same sea.
The TV play A Clear Midsummer Night also took the scene here, in which the heroattracted a large number of fans. The scenery played a big part.
Sea is the foundation of Qingdao. The combination of human intelligence and marine resources creates many artificial scenes for films and TV's shows.
NO.23 Qingdao Polar Ocean World
He who does not visit Polar Ocean World has no right to say he has been to Qingdao.
When you are in the Ocean World, looking at the colorful fish swimming in front of you, the wonderful feeling is unable to express by words.
In Ocean Heaven, Li Lianjie(known as Jet Li) and Wen Zhang's performance are so meticulous that even a glance or an action can move people deeply. A dying father tried his best to teach his son how to live alone, which always makes people feel the great love of a father. And such deep feeling was just foiled by the white and blue of the Ocean World in a right way. Of course, the love atmosphere here is also very appropriate. The best proof is that Xia Yu's Love Deposit, Li Yapeng and Xu Jinglei'sEternal Moment, DuanYihong, Guo Biting's Love Evolutionism were also filmed here.
NO.24Navy Museum
The Naval Museum is the only military museum in China that reflects the development of Chinese navy. You will find out that it means more than just taking pictures, but also a national defense education when you walk into it. The Museum is divided into 3 exhibition halls: Uniform and Gift, Weaponry, and Naval Warship. Precious collections in the Museum, such as the Soviet navy officer's sword, withered trunks in the Battle of Shangganling, Big Wave missile 1 and 1L-14 aircraft, and a number of decommissioned warships once made brilliant military exploit are in the outdoor naval warship exhibition area.
In the movie Underdog Knight, does the Navy Museum make you feel its greatness?
No.25 Campuses
How can there be no campus for shooting modern plays? The campus avenue, teaching buildings with bright windows and clean tables, and the cultural sense that comes out of it naturally give people the most emotional resonance.
Ocean University of China
Ocean University of China, known as one of the "Top 10 Beautiful Campus in China", still has many western style buildings. It is rare to retain such a style in the destructive wave of new construction. Campus has rich humanistic atmosphere, which is the right place suitable for shooting movies and TV shows.
Do you still remember the drama There Will Be Angels To Love You For Me that made you boys/girls tearful when you were in junior high school? It was just in the Ocean University of China, which is beautiful and full of ancient rhymes, that this story of sadness and warmth was shot.
Qingdao University
Someone once joked that Qingdao University is the "Biggest Nail Household in the golden section of Shinan District". Although it is of "historical sense", the scenery is beautiful beyond dispute with plants all over and full of vitality. When flowering season comes, the pink begonias along the road in multiple layers are stunning. Cherry blossom, magnolia, lilacs, wisteria and all kinds of flowers will make you linger around. The yellow teaching building is hidden from the trees; while this sudden color seems to be very harmonious here.
The Binjiang University in the TV play You Are My Sisters, starred by Liu Kaiwei and Lou Yixiao is just here; the school gate also looks very impressive on the screen. Recently, the crew of Unrequited Love has also taken pictures at Qingdao University. It seems that the University has been recognized by directors.
Qingdao Technological UniversityThe Huangdao campus of Qingdao Technological University is one of the campus in Go!Goal!Fighting! What impressed people most was the super football stadium, where most of the football scenes were filmed.
Qingdao Vocational and Technical College of Hotel Management
The trees making a pleasant shade seems to be a common feature of schools in Qingdao. On top of that, the dormitory of Qingdao Vocational and Technical College of Hotel Management is also clean and beautiful, which is the optimum choice to take dormitory shots. In addition, it is said that the restaurant in this school is superdelicious and I wonder whether the directors have taken a fancy to it.
Jian Yao's school in the play Love me, If you dare was filmed here. Did you notice it?
Do not think it's university's patent as a place for shots. The films and TVshows describing middle school life will definitely be taken in middle schools.
The Branch Campus of Qingdao No. 2 Middle School
Qingdao No. 2 Middle School has always been recognized as the best high school in Qingdao. The school enjoys nice scenery, which is very suitable for filming a teaching story.
One of the scenes in Go!Goal!Fighting! is the Branch Campus of Qingdao No. 2 Middle School, in which the high school life is described and the teaching scenes aretaken. In addition, the play With You which impressed us deeply was also filmed here. In the scene when "Lu Xinghe is going to bombing the school" which makes our blood boil, the fountain of the school appeared with honor.
However, perhaps it is to maintain class order that these scenes were mostly shot during holidays. For classmates who did not stay at school, how do you feel when you were looking at the pictures in your Wechat’s Moments? Just like the poem says: The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death; but when your love is filming in your school while you are at home for holidays.
NO.26 Qingdao JiaozhouBay Bridge
Qingdao JiaozhouBay Bridge connects Qingdao, Huangdao, and Hongdao, the "three poles", which is the longest Bay Bridge built in the world. The visual effects of drag racing that we see in Hollywood blockbusterscan also be presented here.
The tough fight on the Bay Bridge in The Underdog Knight has a huge visual impact on the audience. At that time, the Bay Bridge has not been completely built, and for now the scene will be much grander.
Is the list over here? No, there is also a professional filming and television base in Qingdao. Did you know it?
NO.27 Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis
"Oriental Movie Metropolis built by Wanda Group in Qingdao with an investment of 50 billion yuan, is the world's film and television industry base with the largest scale, including the Film-Television Industrial Park, Film Museum, Film and Television Exhibition Center and many other projects. The outdoor studio includes European style, ancient capitals of Ming and Qing Dynasties, and Arab world and so on. There are 20 studios in the production area, including the world largest 10,000–m2 studio, and the only underwater photographic studio in the world."In short, it's really big, excellent and everything required is available. It's always good for TV showsand movies!"
Now, Zhang Yimou's blockbuster "The Great Wall" was filmed here and the "Pacific Rim 2" started up here, too. Look at the scenes and pictures on the screen, don't you recognize his professionalism?
Qingdao's red tiles, green trees, blue sea and azure sky, together with the European style and clean streets everywhere, are perfect for stopping to shoot a movie. After reading these, have you ever wanted to go to Qingdao and become a "person in the picture"?
