Hengdian, gate to Chinawood

If, like me, you've been wondering where they shoot all those epic Chinese movies, here's the answer. Covering 330 hectares and with a full-size copy of the Forbidden City, Hengdian World Studios is massive.

Since filming the movie Opium War in 1996, Hengdian World Studios has welcomed more than 300 shooting groups, and filmed more than 5,000 sets of movies and teleplays until 2005.

The best part? It's also a theme park and the entrance is only $5. See the teaser for the documentary film The World's Largest Studios here.
