Hengdian World Studios
Hengdian World Studios is located in Hengdian Town, Dongyang, in central Zhejiang Province, adjacent to Yiwu, which is famous for its small commodity market. It is one of the largest film and television shooting bases in China and is known as "China's Hollywood." It is not actually a single city, but rather composed of multiple attractions scattered throughout and around the town, such as the Qin Palace, Ming and Qing Palace Garden, Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, Guangzhou Street/Hong Kong Street, and Dream Valley. Qin and Han palaces, Song Dynasty streets, Ming and Qing palaces, and modern trading ports are all gathered in one town, making walking through it feel like traveling back and forth between different dynasties. Films such as "Hero," "The Promise," and "Curse of the Golden Flower" were born in the Qin Palace, while hit palace dramas like "Palace," "Empresses in the Palace," and "Scarlet Heart" were mostly filmed in the Ming and Qing Palace Garden. It is a unique daily scene here to frequently bump into film crews at work on the streets and see extras dressed in ancient costumes passing by. Each attraction has distinct highlights: The Qin palace was built for filming "The emperor and the assassin," featuring imposing high platforms and grand halls—the iconic sword duel scene from "Hero" was shot here, now adapted into the live stunt show "Heroes' duel." The riverside scene at Qingming festival attraction brings Zhang Zeduan's Northern Song Bianliang to life, with rainbow bridges, Bian river, and Song-dressed NPCs roaming among taverns and teahouses; its signature performance "Dream of Bianliang" recreates bustling street life through ancient magic tricks. The Ming-Qing palace emulates Beijing's forbidden city with layered vermilion walls and golden roofs—familiar sights for fans of Qing dynasty dramas—while the multimedia show "Forbidden city chronicles" condenses centuries of imperial history. Guangzhou street·Hong Kong street revives old Canton and colonial Hong Kong (1840s-early 20th century), featuring the lively aquatic action show "Raging sea rivalry." Other areas include Dazhi temple, Pingyan cave dwellings, and Chinese cultural park—each offering unique exploration. The attractions are some distance apart, so you can usually only visit two or three in a day. If you have enough time, consider staying overnight: explore palaces and encounter film crews during the day, then head to the dream valley themed around nightlife in the evening. Besides amusement facilities, it features live performances, "The dream of Taiji" and "Mountain torrents", which are the highlights of Hengdian at night. The film studio has so many attractions that a 1-day tour may only cover 2-3 attractions. If time permits, we recommend staying overnight to explore at a leisurely pace and catch more shows—only then can you truly experience the charm of Hengdian.Dongyang · 16.7 km from downtown
Jinhua Shuanglong Scenic Area
The Shuanglong Cave Scenic Spot features a water-filled karst cave. The name Shuanglong, which translates to double dragon, comes from the stalactites resembling dragon heads that guard the entrance to the cave. The cave's outer entrance is warm in the winter and cool in summer. Visitors can gladly escape from the outside heat when visiting in the summer. To enter the cave's interior, visitors must lie down in a boat that travels through the stalactites. It's an exciting and unforgettable experience.Jinhua · 12.1 km from downtown
Zhuge Eight-Diagrams Village
Zhuge Bagua Village is located in Zhuge Village in the northwest of Lanxi. It is the largest settlement area of Zhuge Liang's descendants. According to the layout of the Nine Palaces and the Eight Diagrams, the village is centered on the Taiji-shaped Zhongchi in the village center and extends eight lanes of in eight directions to form the inner Eight Diagrams while the hills outside the village form the outer Eight Diagrams. That's why it is called the "Zhuge Bagua Village." Zhuge Bagua Village is divided into two parts: the main scenic area and the west scenic area. The west scenic area includes the Longfeng Buddhist Temple and a Baicao Ecological Park.Lanxi · 16.5 km from downtown
Hengdian World Studios Qingming Shanghe Tu Park
Located south of Hengdian World Studios, the Qingming Shanghe Attraction is a film and television studio based on the classic Northern Song Dynasty painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" by Zhang Zeduan. Popular films and television series such as "Gu Jian Qi Tan," "The Flying Dagger of Xiao Li," and "Peerless Twins" have been filmed here. Therefore, while visiting the area, you can not only experience the bustling capital and urban life of the Song Dynasty, but also discover familiar scenes from historical dramas in the streets and alleys. If you're lucky, you might even stumble upon a film crew in progress. The Attraction is divided into an outer city and an inner city. The winding Bian River winds through the city walls, and Northern Song Dynasty-style bridges and pavilions stretch along the waterfront, creating a poetic and picturesque scene. Most of these buildings are empty, allowing visitors to enjoy the "time-travel" experience of strolling through the streets of Bianjing. You can enjoy snacks from small shops along the street, or play a game like Northern Song Dynasty darts. For an even more "time-traveling" experience, rent a Northern Song Dynasty costume and pose for photos in it, then continue your stroll until the end, completely immersing yourself in the Song Dynasty surroundings. The recommended order of the tour is: enter the Attraction through the main gate, pass Gao Mansion and Chen Mansion, take a standard photo of the Rainbow Bridge and its reflection in the water, follow the central axis through Shangshan Gate and enter the inner city to Sunyangzheng Store. A short distance ahead is the performance venue of "A Dream of Bianliang". Follow the trail counterclockwise around the lake, then return to the outer city through the Water Gate and continue walking counterclockwise. The entire tour can be walked, or you can rent a bicycle if necessary. Along the River During the Qingming Festival is adjacent to the Qin Palace and Dream Valley. A day trip to the two attractions is perfect, followed by a night out at Dream Valley. Buses Round-trip between each attraction, making transportation very convenient.Dongyang · 18 km from downtown
The Underground River
The Underground River is located 8 km east of Lanxi and is also known as "Liudong Mountain". It is particularly famous for two attractions: The Underground River and Qixia Garden. In the attraction, an underground river over 1 km long runs through it, with water flowing year-round, and its source remains unknown to this day. Taking a boat ride along the underground river inside the karst cave is the unique feature and highlight of visiting the attraction. The cave sightseeing area can be explored either on foot or by boat. It's quite interesting to observe the surrounding stalactites hanging upside down from the boat. Moreover, the admission ticket already includes the boat fee, so it's worth giving it a try. The entire boat ride covers approx. 800 m. After disembarking, you can exit the cave via the stone steps, with many uniquely shaped stalactites to admire along the way. Not far from the attraction, the ancestral home of the renowned socialite Miss Zhao Si, Qixia Garden, is located in Dongyuan Village. This Qing Dynasty Huizhou-style brick-and-wood structure displays historical materials and stories about Miss Zhao Si and General Zhang Xueliang. If interested, you can visit.Lanxi · 7.7 km from downtown
Niutou Mountain National Forest Park
Niutou Mountain National Forest Park is located 60 km outside Wuyi. Known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou of Jiangnan," it features steep cliffs, streams, and emerald pools, offering some scenic charm—though it falls slightly short compared to Jiuzhaigou. Due to limited public transport, most visitors arrive by car, so crowds are never too large. From the main gate to the core scenic area is about a 5 km drive. Visitors can drive to the parking lot at the mountain base, or take one of the three daily free shuttle buses running round-trip between the main gate and the parking lot. Nearby the parking lot are a restaurant and Shanli Renjia Hotel, while the hot spring hotel near the entrance offers better amenities, including hot spring baths—ideal for an overnight stay if time allows. To the left of the parking lot is the trail leading to Wangniufeng Peak in the back mountain. If arriving in the afternoon and staying overnight, consider hiking here, soaking in the hot springs at night, and exploring the main attractions the next day: heading right to Shimen Gorge entrance, climbing Tianshi Peak, visiting Tianshi Temple, and crossing the Golden Lock Bridge. From Shimen Gorge entrance past Yuxian Lake to Qixi Bridge, the path is mostly straightforward, with clear pools and streams along the way, making for a pleasant walk. Beyond Qixi Bridge is a fork—both routes lead up to Tianshi Peak and Tianshi Temple, with one for ascending and the other descending. The left path features a thrilling cliffside boardwalk leading to the Golden Lock Bridge. Continuing past a narrow cliff passage ("One-Line Sky") brings you to the peak and Tianshi Temple. The boardwalk clings dramatically to the mountainside, offering sweeping views of the Golden Lock Bridge spanning two cliffs and the imposing Tianshi Peak—a spectacular photo spot. Though the bridge looks daunting, it's sturdy and safe to cross. The steep One-Line Sky climb is challenging, but the panoramic summit views make it worthwhile. Tianshi Temple at the top allows for blessings (possibly at an extra fee). The ascent takes about 2 hours and is tiring, but the descent is gentler, taking just over an hour back to Qixi Bridge. Restrooms are available on the mountain, but shops are scarce, so bring water and snacks. Near the park entrance, Shenniu Gorge Rafting (¥128/person, for reference) is a thrilling summer activity—3 km of fast-flowing rapids through deep gorges. Rafting usually starts around 1 PM, so it's best to hike in the morning and raft in the afternoon.Wuyi · 39.9 km from downtown
Hengdian World Studios - The Palace of Emperor Qin
The Palace of Emperor Qin is located in Hengdian World Studios, built in 1997 for renowned director Chen Kaige's historical epic film "The Emperor and the Assassin." This attraction can be considered the cradle of numerous blockbuster films and historical dramas, with nearly a hundred productions filmed here, including "Hero," "A Step into the Past," "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," "Beauty's Rival in Palace," "The Promise," "The Legend of Mi Yue," "The Untamed," "Joy of Life," "One and Only," "Luoyang," "Chinese Paladin 3," "The Empress of China," and "Nirvana in Fire." The Palace of Emperor Qin is modeled after the main palace of the Qin Dynasty—Xianyang Palace. This massive attraction features intricate architecture and meticulous layout, boasting 27 majestic palaces with towers at every turn. The towering walls and grand halls perfectly capture the awe-inspiring ambition of Emperor Qin Shi Huang in unifying the six warring states and establishing China's first empire. The main attraction of the site is the Hall of Four Seas United as One, divided into the front hall, middle hall, and rear hall, stretching over 120 meters in depth. Majestic and towering, this was where the Qin emperor held court and conducted state affairs. It served as a filming location for Zhang Yimou's movie "Hero" and the popular Hong Kong TV series "A Step into the Past." Today, visitors can dress in costumes and sit on the throne for photos (fee required). The central area of the hall has been transformed into a massive wishing pool by the attraction, glittering with coins tossed in by visitors. In front of the hall, actors perform daily reenactments of the First Emperor's coronation procession on the 99-step staircase. The East View Tower next to the Hall of Unification was once the filming location for the movie "Hero." Inside the West View Tower, you can watch "Dreaming Back to Qin and Han." Additionally, at the Dragon Emperor's Adventure Theater near the West Palace Gate, you can experience the 4D film "Dragon Emperor's Adventure," which is based on the thrilling plot of the Hollywood movie "The Mummy 3." Additionally, to the west of The Palace of Emperor Qin stands the Huayang Terrace, the palace of the Yan Kingdom, which contrasts sharply in style with The Palace of Emperor Qin. This makes the filming site at The Palace of Emperor Qin not only a representation of Qin and Jin culture but also a showcase of Yan and Zhao architectural styles. One site, two palaces, highly condensed. Next to the Huayang Terrace is "Han Street," fully displaying the street scenes of the Qin and Han periods. However, both attractions are designated filming zones for production crews and are usually closed to visitors. Of course, if you're lucky, you might even spot a few celebrities.Dongyang · 18.6 km from downtown
Hengdian World Studios Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street Park
The Guangzhou Street and Hong Kong Street Attraction is one of the six classic Attraction in Hengdian Film and Television City. It is the first Attraction built in Hengdian Film and Television City. It was built in August 1996 for the filming of the historical blockbuster "The Opium War". With realistic real-life buildings, it artistically reproduces the old appearance of Guangzhou and the charm of Hong Kong around 1840. Guangzhou Street covers an area of more than 300 mu, and Hong Kong Street covers an area of 120 mu. The quaint streets and alleys dot the "Flower City", and old-fashioned locomotives lie on the weathered rails. The crisscrossing rivers flow into the "Pearl River". The "Thirteen Barbarians Pavilion" is like an international architectural exposition, and the world's first teahouse "Tianlan Pavilion" is a collection of pavilions and terraces, showing the elegance of Chinese architecture. The entire layout of Hong Kong Street is designed with the advantages of wilderness slopes, and there are many street scenes in the central urban area of Hong Kong in the 19th century, such as Queen's Road, Hong Kong Governor's House, Victoria Barracks, HSBC Bank, Shanghai Mansion, and Hehan Garden. There are more than 30 European-style buildings here: Pedder Street, Chater Street, Connaught Road, Queen's Road, Queen's Statue Square, Governor's House, St. John's Church, Dent & Co., and Victoria Barracks, etc., which constituted the "Victoria City" which was the political, economic and cultural center of Hong Kong at that time. The night view of Hong Kong Street is located in the Victoria Harbor area of the Hong Kong Street District Attraction Area of Guangzhou Street in Hengdian World Studios. Des Voeux Road, Pedder Street, Queen's Road, Connaught Road and Chater Street Loop have created a complex of buildings that are very much in the style of old Hong Kong in the 19th century, and incorporate film and television scenes, gourmet snacks, entertainment bars, trendy businesses, performances, skits and more. Time travel is not just about seeing the 19th century Hong Kong-style themed buildings, but also about being truly in a lifelike movie-like street scene. At night, the entire Hong Kong city area is illuminated by colorful neon lights, turning it into a movie-themed city that never sleeps. Amid the rickshaw drivers' evasive sounds, we walked through the streets full of various characters and came to the Guangxiang Street Film and Television Theme Hotel where we stayed at night. If you love Hu Ge, Wang Kai, and Jin Dong, the three handsome Ming brothers, you can stay in the "The Disguiser" film and television theme room; and if you are obsessed with the "Qi Yue" CP in "The Mystic Nine", you can just check in to the CP sweet spot of Xinyue Hotel - Yin Xinyue's boudoir.Dongyang · 14 km from downtown

Fotang Ancient Town
Futang Ancient Town is located in the southwest of Yiwu City. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, countless ships have traveled on the river, and Futang's floating bridge pier is an important stop. Today, the ancient town has long been desolate, but you can still see traces of its prosperity in the dazzling array of ox legs, window lattices, brick carvings and stone carvings in the ancient town's residential buildings. As a tourist attraction, Futang Ancient Town is still under development and is free of charge. There is almost no commercial meaning in the streets and alleys. The simple life of the locals deep in the alleys is a rare sight elsewhere. The nearly 2-kilometer-long old street is the soul of the ancient town. Zhi Street, Shanghui Street, Yanbutou Heng Street, Fuqiaotou Heng Street and two east-west side streets form the core of the ancient town. Since Futang has been a commercial port since ancient times, there are still many shops along the street. The layout of downstairs being shops and upstairs being residences is still preserved. Old wooden doors and low counters can be seen everywhere. Old shops such as Ruitaixiang give people the illusion of going back in time. The Xinhua Theater on the old street is still a distinctive cultural symbol of Futang. The theater is decorated with square tables and chairs that were common in the 1980s, and there are often local opera performances. If you come across it, you might as well enjoy it with the villagers who come from nearby villages to watch the show. Wuqiji Residence (Wu's House) is the biggest attraction in the ancient town. However, since the ancient town has not been fully developed, there are no obvious road signs on the street. However, you can basically find it by asking the locals. This two-entry old house in the style of Ming and Qing Dynasties combines the grandeur of Huizhou architecture and the delicacy of Zhejiang carvings. The carvings include opera characters, fishermen, farmers, pavilions and towers, and even the drainage outlets in the corners are decorated with exquisite stone carvings. The owner of Wu's House spent his entire life building this mansion, but he experienced various hardships such as the Anti-Japanese War and land reform, but he was not able to live here for a day. When tourists are in it, they can't help but sigh with emotion. Another old house worth seeing is Huaiyin Hall (Liji Eight-sided Hall) located on the north bank of Houyangtian Pond. The eight pairs of Huizhou horse head walls on both sides are very impressive. The eight houses are both separate and connected, and the shape is unique. In addition, when you walk into the depths of the alleys, you will find more exquisite old buildings hidden in the corners, and the photos you take are quite charming. In the Brown Sugar Culture and Art Museum on the old street, you can also see the sculpture display of the ancient method of making Buddhist brown sugar, which is very vivid. After viewing the buildings, walk to the riverside, and the quaint Qing Dynasty bridge will immediately catch your eye. The name of the ancient wharf is engraved on the stone on the shore, and the sculptures on the wall record the prosperity of "trading chicken feathers for sugar" here in the past.Yiwu · 13 km from downtown

Visiting Hengdian during the off-season means no queues for shows. We saw five shows and the grand parade, and visited everything except Dream Valley – a truly worthwhile trip!

It's famous because of Ye Shengtao's text in the Chinese textbook, and children all want to come. There are six caves inside, each with its own challenges that will leave you exhausted. The electric car rentals on Deer Girl Lake are a bit of a rip-off; they're extremely slow and can only go half a circle and then turn back.

We visited Zhuge Bagua Village during the National Day holiday. There were quite a few tourists, but our family took our time, spending about four hours there including lunch – a perfect pace, neither rushed nor tiring. The village is laid out according to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) principle, with winding alleys that are quite interesting. The Bell Pond, the Grand Hall, and the Prime Minister's Ancestral Hall are all historical sites worth seeing. The original inhabitants still live in the village, giving it a lively and welcoming atmosphere. We found a local restaurant for lunch, enjoying the authentic and homely food. Strolling along the cobblestone paths, admiring the old houses and wood carvings, and learning about the history of Zhuge Liang's descendants with the children made for a pleasant educational experience.

Personally, I thought it was quite fun. The NPCs in the park were great, the interactions were fantastic, and you could earn rewards. There was also plenty of food inside, and everyone in the park was very friendly. However, when it came time to redeem our rewards after the fun, those two people were like ghosts. They barely acknowledged us when we asked them anything. We didn't have enough rewards to exchange for something, and there were so many people. There was a sign saying that posting on WeChat Moments, Douyin, or Xiaohongshu could get you 10 rewards, but I wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen others doing it. I understand they must be tired after serving so many tourists all day, but that's their job, there's no way around it. If you choose this service job, you have to be enthusiastic. I had a great day, thinking the whole park was wonderful, but it was ruined by those two people at the entrance. I was very disappointed. Even the cleaning ladies inside were more enthusiastic than them.

The scenic area is easy to find, with plenty of parking. It's really comfortable to visit in the summer. When taking the boat, there are signs indicating when to bend over to avoid bumping your head, and the entire boat ride is very comfortable and cool. The water in the underground river is very clean and clear. The stalactites in the cave are beautiful, and each attraction is labeled with its resemblance to something. There were also women picking up litter along the way. There are stone benches for tourists to rest on, and police officers are available to help inside the cave. Walking through the entire scenic area is a bit tiring. The exit is halfway up the mountain, and after that, it becomes a bit desolate. The descent is a quiet and pleasantly shady path, perfect for a summer visit!

Wuyi Niutou Mountain is perfect for a weekend family hike to escape the summer heat! The mountains are lush and green, and the temperature is much cooler than in the city. Streams murmur, and the air is incredibly fresh. We chose to hike up and take the cable car down, a perfect pace that wasn't too tiring. The "One Line Sky" is particularly unique, and the boardwalk offers expansive mountain views with stunning vistas. The high forest coverage and lush greenery, combined with the relatively low crowds, made for a comfortable hike. The trails are well-maintained, allowing children to enjoy the natural scenery and connect with nature. Highly recommended for a short trip around the Jiangsu and Zhejiang area!

A very nice place to visit and definitely worth the ticket price! The place is HUGE, so you’ll need a full day to explore all the attractions. Buggy rentals are available, but you’ll need to rent them separately at each scenic area, which can be quite pricey. Be prepared for lots of walking if you decide not to rent one! Overall, it’s a great place to visit and worth the experience. ✨

This is a well-preserved ancient town that features traditional architecture, historical buildings and ancient streets and courtyards. Here you can get local snacks and crafts. It's a bit small, but unlike other ancient towns, it's completely free and it's just 10km southwest of downtown Yiwu. The best way to get here is by taxi. Make sure you come here during the evening as well for the night views.
