Lights, camera, adventure! Kazakhstan is rolling out the red carpet for travelers with new film-inspired tourism routes to China, blending cinematic magic with cultural exploration. 🎬✨
Muratov Gani, head of Kazakhstan’s cinematography department, praised China’s booming film industry, calling it a 'cultural bridge' that’s captivating global audiences. 'Chinese cinema isn’t just entertainment—it’s a window into traditions, stories, and landscapes that inspire curiosity,' he said.
The planned routes will take visitors to iconic filming locations featured in Chinese blockbusters and Kazakh productions, offering behind-the-scenes peeks and immersive cultural experiences. Think Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets the Silk Road vibes! 🏔️🐉
- Explore ancient sites that doubled as fantasy realms
- Taste regional dishes featured in food-centric films
- Meet local artisans keeping traditional crafts alive
This move aims to boost tourism while deepening cross-border ties. As Gani put it: 'When we share stories through film, we’re not just making movies—we’re building friendships.' 🤝
Travel buffs, mark your maps! These routes could drop as early as 2024. 🗺️⏳
