Lights, camera, history! 🏯 Nestled in Zhejiang Province, Hengdian World Studios—the planet's largest film set—has become a cinematic wonderland where emperors, warriors, and merchants from China's past leap off the script and into reality. From the grandeur of Qin-dynasty palaces to the lively markets of the Tang and Song eras, this sprawling complex lets you literally walk through 5,000 years of culture.

Preserving the Past, Frame by Frame
