2025 Hengdian World Studios Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#TravelWithMe Hengdian Dream Valley is not a movie village but an amusement park. Moreover, it is an amusement park that opens in the evening. In addition to the rides, there are two live shows at night. Opening hours: 15:00-21:00 Location: Hengdian Town, Dongyang City There are many tourist attractions in Hengdian, but I usually visit this place.

#TravelWithMe Hengdian Film and Television City is roughly divided into five areas: "Qin Palace", "Qingming Shanghetu", "Ming and Qing Palace Garden", "Guangzhou-Hong Kong Street", and "Jiangnan Water Town". In the Ming and Qing Palace Garden, there is the "Forbidden City", a life-size replica of the Forbidden Palace in Beijing. The interior design is also said to be the same.

Hengdian, which many people should know if they like watching Chinese series, is a studio that has filmed many Chinese series. Hengdian is located in Zhejiang Province. When we went, we got off at Hangzhou first, then took a fast train (30 minutes) for 1 station to Yiwu. Then we called a taxi (about 170 yuan) to the hotel in Hengdian. You can book train tickets on Trip. It's convenient because it will notify you all the time and the steps are explained in Thai. As for the hotel, you can book here as well (some hotels that are local will not accept foreigners because the hotel must report to us that we are staying). I recommend asking the Trip call center first to ask the hotel if they accept foreigners. But most of them accept foreigners anyway. Hotels that are large or have many branches will not have much of a problem. Hengdian Studio is very large and you have to buy a ticket to enter. You can buy this at the entrance in front. There are many prices. We bought a 2-day pass that allows entry to all places. If I remember correctly, it should be 500 yuan. *I recommend buying a 2-day pass like us because the area is really big and there are many places. You have to call a taxi. **For those who want to wear Chinese clothes, go to the shop early in the morning and go take pictures and walk around early in the morning because most of the castle towns close early. ***The opening and closing times will be on the map when we buy the tickets. #Traveling in China by yourself #trip #Travel review #Review China #Hengdian #hengdianworldstudios #Zhejiang #Zhejiang #China #Free visa for China

My recent trip to the Hengdian World Studio was nothing short of amazing. This massive film studio complex is a true wonder and offers a unique and fascinating insight into the world of Chinese cinema. As soon as I stepped through the gates, I was transported to a world of fantasy and adventure. The studio is massive and features a diverse range of backdrops, from ancient Chinese villages to futuristic sci-fi sets. One of the highlights of my trip was exploring the Western set, which featured an authentic Old West town complete with saloons, banks, and even a jailhouse. It was incredible to see how much attention to detail had gone into creating such a realistic and immersive environment. I also had the chance to witness some incredible live performances at the studio, including acrobatic stunts, kung fu demonstrations, and even a mini-opera. The performers were all incredibly talented and really brought the sets to life. Throughout my visit, I was struck by the sheer scale of the complex and the amount of work that must go into creating these elaborate film sets. It was truly awe-inspiring, and I gained a newfound appreciation for the art of movie-making. Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to the Hengdian World Studio to anyone interested in cinema or looking for a unique and unforgettable experience. Whether you're a film buff or just looking for an exciting adventure, this place is definitely worth a visit.#mytripvlog #china

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.

I loved walking in this beautiful park with bursts of color everywhere. You can walk or take a bicycle to get around the park. Getting There - You can take a Didi that will drop you at the front of the gate. Attractions - Beautiful scenic park with loads of bright buildings. You can stroll around and take beautiful pictures in this park. Hotels - A lot of hotels around Hengdian to oick and choose according to your requirements. Food & Restaurants - There are snack stands where you can buy something to eat. Shopping - There's no shops but there's water machines to get water if you're thirsty.

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.

Russian Church at the New Garde of Eternal Spring (Summer Garden) This place is just beaide the New Yuanming Palace. It is also very huge. Enjoy the amazing view and relax. #urbanexplorer #leaveyourmark

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

Hengdian World Studios - The New Yuanmingyuan Palace 180 rmb - the place is so huge. there were no shows to watch. maybe it is best to go there during summer because they have summer activities. I noticed there were only a very few people going around. There is only one entrance and you have to exit the same way. #urbanexplorer #leaveyourmark

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

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

#tripaway Every individual spots is very huge and Lots of walking is expected. We saw few films shooting at sites. There are a few number of sites and can be far apart. However, there are many shuttle buses can bring you around at RMB 1. Be prepared that food will be expensive in Hengdian especially in the tourist spot site compare to China living standard as the town is a tourism place. #tripaway

#tripaway This American style amusement park is a very good surprise for tourists visiting HENGDIAN. They have many different attractions for all ages, and a huge Ferris wheel.They also have two shows at the end of the day, one at 7 pm and other at 8 pm. Both of them are worth seeing.Be prepared for many, many people inside the park. #tripaway

🌟Highlights: The Qingming Riverside Landscape Garden Film and Television Shooting Base is based on the famous Song Dynasty painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by Zhang Zeduan. After thorough research on the city of Kaifeng, Song Dynasty architecture, and painting materials, combined with the needs of film and television shooting, the base was built in December 1998 after a year of construction and huge investment. ❤Recommended Reasons: Covering an area of 500 acres, the base is divided into nine scenic areas, each relatively independent yet interconnected, forming a magnificent and enchanting whole. The main attractions in each area have unique styles, offering endless fun and subtle charm. The painted boats are exquisite, the memorial archways stand tall, and the flowers are in full bloom. Ascend the towering Jingmen City Gate Tower to overlook the entire base and the distant Hengdian city. The Bian River meanders from east to west through the city, its clear water shimmering. The riverbanks are shaded by willow trees, swaying gracefully in the breeze. Schools of fish swim in the clear river, and the bridges are uniquely spectacular.

Hengdian World Studios, located in Hengdian Town, Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province, is one of the largest film and television production bases in China, also known as 'China's Hollywood.' As a comprehensive film and television city that integrates filming, sightseeing, and entertainment, Hengdian attracts countless film and television enthusiasts and tourists with its magnificent scenery and rich cultural connotations. I had the privilege of visiting Hengdian World Studios, and here are my impressions. First Impressions of Hengdian World Studios The sheer scale of Hengdian World Studios left me in awe. The entire studio not only covers many different historical filming scenes but also has several themed parks that perfectly combine historical culture with modern film and television production. From the moment I entered the studio, I was struck by the grandeur of the city gates. This film and television city is not just a filming base; it is the birthplace of many TV dramas and a pilgrimage site for fans. Stepping into the Ancient World: Palaces and Markets Hengdian World Studios' filming areas are divided into many different themed zones, the most representative of which are the large ancient scenes like 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' and 'The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.' In the 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' area, I felt as if I had traveled back to the Song Dynasty's Bianjing, with actors and staff dressed in ancient costumes filling the streets. Every detail meticulously recreated the bustling and lively atmosphere of an ancient city. The market here has various handicraft shops and snack stalls, where visitors can taste authentic Jiangnan snacks and experience the lively scenes of an ancient market. Walking into 'The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor' gave me a strong sense of historical shock. The sets here are built according to historical facts, with grand palace halls and majestic terracotta warriors making me feel as if I were in ancient China over two thousand years ago, sharing the same space with historical figures. The architectural style of the ancient palaces and the costumes and props perfectly present the grandeur and luxury of ancient China. Experiencing Film and Television Production One of the unique features of Hengdian World Studios is that it allows visitors to get up close to film and television production scenes. In the 'Film Shooting Base' area, I had the opportunity to visit the set of a historical drama being filmed. When I walked into the set, I saw actors in gorgeous costumes seriously filming. Although it was just a few minutes, seeing every step of the filming process made me deeply appreciate the complexity and effort involved in film and television production. Here, I also saw some props and scenes that often appear in TV dramas. Most of these scenes are specially set up for filming, not only grand in scale but also full of historical sense. Every detail of the scenes is filled with artistic creativity, making people want to take photos to remember the moment. Themed Parks: Entertainment and Interaction In addition to the rich filming scenes, Hengdian World Studios also has some entertainment-themed areas that allow visitors to experience the world of film and television more deeply. For example, in the 'Kung Fu World' area, I could participate in martial arts experiences. Professional coaches guide visitors through martial arts moves, and although it was just simple swordsmanship and boxing, it made me feel the charm of the martial arts world. Moreover, Hengdian World Studios hosts 'Star Meet and Greet' events. Whenever famous actors or directors come to the studio for filming, public meet-and-greet events are held, which is undoubtedly a great opportunity for fans. Visitors can get up close to their favorite stars and interact with them, making for an unforgettable travel memory. Feeling the Charm of Film and Television Culture Hengdian World Studios is not just a film and television production base; it is also a place rich in cultural connotations. Here, I could experience the development of Chinese film and television culture. The studio has several exhibition halls showcasing various props, costumes, editing techniques, and photography equipment needed for filming. These exhibitions gave me a deeper understanding of the craftsmanship behind film and television production. In the 'China Film and Television Museum,' I saw many historical materials on film and television production, learning about the development trajectory of the Chinese film and television industry. The museum's exhibits include various old filming equipment, classic movie posters, and autographs of famous actors. These exhibits made me feel the charm of film and television art and gave me a more comprehensive understanding of the industry's development. Conclusion The two-day, one-night trip to Hengdian World Studios gave me a deeper understanding of Chinese film and television culture and made me appreciate the effort and artistic value of film and television production. Whether it is the spectacular ancient scenes, the real filming sites, or the highly entertaining themed parks, I have great respect for this film and television city. Hengdian is not only a pilgrimage site for fans but also a must-visit place for any tourist who loves movies and culture. If you have the chance to visit Zhejiang, Hengdian World Studios is undoubtedly a worthwhile destination that will offer you an unforgettable journey into the world of film and television culture.

Today, we will start our first trip to Ming Qing Gongyuan, or the Ming and Qing Dynasty Palaces, which were the last two dynasties before China changed its government to a republic. The Qin Dynasty Palace that we went to yesterday was during the time of the first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang. We started our journey by walking from our accommodation for about 10 minutes, about 1.2 kilometers. Along the way, we will pass almost every tourist spot in Hengdian. It is very convenient to stop and take pictures and walk around because the weather is cool and not too cold. When we arrived, we took our passports to the scanner at the entrance because we bought tickets to enter on Trip.com last night. (We bought a package to enter 3 places for 1,600 baht, which was very worthwhile because if we bought at the palace, it would be 180 yuan per person. The officer will ask us to add a WeChat group to see the show schedule and location of various places. Look, even though people are just small dots, this place is a 1:1 replica of the real Forbidden City in Beijing. 🏛️ Even though this place is a replica, But it's not just made to be big. Small details like the steps are also beautifully designed. When we went, the mountains surrounding Hengdian City were very beautiful, full of green and pink, like a gradient painting. But unfortunately, I'm not good at taking pictures, so it doesn't show what I see with my own eyes. We ended with ice cream from Ming Qing Gong Yuan Palace💚 and then continued our journey to Qin Wang Gong Palace🩵 #tripdiscount #triptravelchina #tripcom #tripdotcom #triptravelchina #travelchina
