Hengdian World Studios - Ming Qing Gong Yuan one of the top places to visit when you are in Hengdian. A place where they film movies and tv shows. Enjoy the view from the sky! #djimavicmini #urbanexplorer #leaveyourmark

I visited Hengdian World Studio ‘Palace of Emperor Qin’ and I was impressed with the architectural structure of the palace. The ground is huge and I spent 1.5 hours exploring the site including watching the coronation of the emperor performance. Costumes are available for rent where visitors can dressed up for picture taking mimicking their favourite film stars I.e Miyue 羋月 Many popular Chinese dramas were filmed here. As I am a fan of ancient costume dramas, I am glad to have the chance to step on the site where some scenes were filmed. Hengdian comprises of more than 10 studios but unfortunately I only managed to spend half day at this attraction while enroute to Hangzhou. To cover all the studios, perhaps will need to allocate at least 3-5 days as the studios are spread across the town and some sites are only open in the afternoon. I definitely will return to explore the other studios. #holidayvacation#tripinspired

Hengdian - Qin Wang Palace

We live in a homestay opposite the Qin Wang Palace, so we left the Qin Wang Palace as the last place to visit. They don't allow entry after 4 pm and clear the place by 5 pm. We entered at 3 pm and if we didn't watch the performance, it would take just over an hour to visit. There are many people queuing for the performance, queuing for 2-3 hours, and the performance is only about 10 minutes, which is a waste of time. It's better to watch a formal theater performance, and the actors are relatively amateur. Single tickets are 198, if you book online a day in advance it's 188, and a package for 3 attractions is 450. There are discounts for people over 60 and students. The city wall is not allowed to go up, it looks very grand on the spot, but there are not many attractions, there are many people in the long alley under the city wall, it doesn't feel good to take pictures, there are only two squares in total, it's really not worth it. There is a flying sky in the venue, about 180, different prices for adults and children, just a few rounds on it, overall it doesn't feel too good.

Hengdian Film and Television City is very fun

👍Most recommended: Qin Wang Palace, Dream Valley, Dream Bund, Ming and Qing Palace Garden Each attraction has performances at different times, it is recommended to wear Hanfu to Qin Wang Palace, the Dream Bund must be the Republic of China style cheongsam, Ming and Qing Palace Garden wear princess costume, the photos are very good!

Hengdian World Studios

I really liked Hengdian Studios! Take your time to explore and enjoy the pop up shows, decor amd architecture. It feels like a different world, walking around all these beautiful spots. Getting There - It's easy to get around. Although the studios are scattered around, you can just get a Didi to take you to the different studios. Attractions - There's a lot to see and it's big...I would recommend you take two days if you want to do it at a leisurely pace. I squeezed all of them into one day...it's doable but then you are rushed. Hotels - There's a lot of hotels around Hengdian that you can choose according to your own preferences. Food & Restaurants - There's snack stalls where you can buy something to eat and drink. Shopping - You have to go through a shop to exit the attraction where you can buy memorabilias.

Guangzhou and Hong Kong street

I enjoyed walking through the streets, enjoying some of the food and buying some lipstick and hand cream from a cute little shop and the lady there was super friendly. I had delicious dinner at one of the restaurants and for dessert I got the best strawberry soft serve ice cream ever! Getting There - Just type it into the Didi and it will take you straight to the entrance. Attractions - I would suggest to go in the evening then the place comes too life and it looks totally different with all the lights on. You can take beautiful pictures there and they add you to a we chat gtoup at the entrance to tell you what, when and where it's happening. Food & Restaurants - I had the best strawberry ice cream from the ice cream shop there. There's also restaurants where you can sit down and have nice dinner after all the walking. Shopping - There are shops that you can browse and buy gifts or memorabilias.

Hengdian World Studios - Guangzhou & Hongkong Streets 160 rmb - a little bit expensive but i was surprised how the price was totally worth it eventhough they open at 1pm to 8pm. I was there after 1pm walking around and was thinking why i paid such a big amount when the views are normal. Please check the schedule of their shows. I liked the gun fight and the magic show. I did not like the show where they were using a jetski and there is a boat of pirates i think. BONUS: this is what made me realize why it was really worth it. At night, the place just totally changes and it becomes so nice and lively! Watch the last or prime time show! They start the show at the streets and they go around in different spots with a story. The show ends in the big square where the stage was totally awesome! #urbanexplorer #leaveyourmark
