Lights, camera, action meets industrial attraction! 🏭 Moviegoers are racing to Ningbo City's transformed Sinopec refinery after its star turn in Pegasus 3, China's blockbuster racing-comedy that's dominated 2026 box offices. This weekend's special open day let fans explore the cyberpunk-inspired racetrack where petrolheads and film buffs collide.
From Oil Refinery to Silver Screen Glory
"It's wild seeing this place shift from pipes to popcorn moments," said Shanghai student Li Wei, snapping selfies where stunt drivers once screeched. The site's industrial skeleton now dazzles with neon-lit ramps and holographic racing projections – a real-life video game backdrop!
When Movies Move Markets
With ¥3.2 billion earned domestically this year alone, Pegasus 3 proves pop culture can reboot heritage spaces. Tourism officials confirm a 40% spike in Ningbo hotel bookings since the film's release. As one Weibo user posted: "Who knew abandoned factories could become influencer catwalks? 📸"
Industry analysts note this trend mirrors China's growing "location tourism" phenomenon, where Gen Z travelers chase viral filming spots. Next stop? Rumor says the site might host esports events – because why let Hollywood have all the fun? 🏁
