It is the TV drama "Race" to Jiangmen's 33 Rush Street reputation, quickly popularized to the whole country! In the Xuji noodle restaurant where the plot eats pig's feet, people stop and stop, take a look at the place where the actor has sat, and even some diners have to eat his bowl of pig's feet at table 3 to feel the atmosphere of filming...
A Jiangmen old street with fire in the TV series "Bang Bang", although relatively shabby, can still see the exquisiteness of the year. Every store facing the street is branded with the characters and plots of the "Bang Bang" drama, I don't know if there is any authorization.
The movie visited the tourist attractions in Jiangmen, and the whole process was advertising the filming location. People here were also hospitable. Taking pictures and punching in, all kinds of snacks and delicacies are very good.
The place is super comfortable, I suggest you take a family to play
Thirty-three Xu Street is located in Pengqi District, Jiangmen City, an hour away from Guangzhou. "Bang Bang" is mainly filmed on 33 Xu Street. The original home of Gao Qiqiang in the play, the small Lingtong store opened by him and his brother, is on 33 Xu Street. Thirty-three Xu Street, the name comes from the 33-level blue stone ladder of Shuishantou. This is not a separate street, but the general name of the old arcade road such as Xuding, North Street, Changdi. It is also an extremely important location in the play, and many important plots are chosen to shoot here. Xuding Old Street, Shuishantou, Xinshi Road, Youth Square, etc. appeared many times in the drama. There are many shops on both sides of Xuding Street, which witness the vicissitudes and glory of Jiangmen for hundreds of years, and is a symbol of the city's history and economic and cultural development. The old factory street, often mentioned in the TV series "Bang Bang", is based on 33 Xu Street as the prototype to complete the shooting. The main location of the Jiangmen Street view "Jinghai City" in "Bang Bang" is Jiangmen, Guangdong, which is located in the south-central Guangdong Province. With a long history and deep cultural heritage, Jiangmen is one of the representative cities of Guangfu culture. Jiangmen is a place where many overseas Chinese returned home to invest and live in the early days, and is also known as "China's first overseas Chinese township".
