About to leave Shanghai

My bestie and I chose to go to the filming location of Love in the Rain

When I saw the bridge

The scenes seem to be replayed in my mind

A TV series that I haven't seen for many years📺

Now it feels like being there

Such a special feeling

Maybe you can only experience this in Shanghai.

There are many crews shooting every day

If you are lucky, you may even meet a celebrity.

It's just that the crew didn't allow us to take pictures

You can enjoy the distant view

We arrived at the Chedun Film and Television Base with high hopes. We saw a map at the entrance, boasting 43 attractions, which was truly exciting. However, once inside, we discovered it was incredibly small. My cousin and I were initially torn between taking the tram. We worried we'd miss out on the sights, but the long distance would be exhausting. Halfway through, we saw the tram stop and frantically chased it, expecting a long circuit. But after only a few minutes, we reached the end. That's when we realized just how small the film and television base was. However, there were many familiar scenes here, bringing back endless memories. Looking at the buildings, I racked my brains to think of which TV series they'd appeared in. The day we visited, a TV series starring Wallace Huo was being filmed. Half the streets were closed to visitors, leaving us with only a crowd of extras milling about, with the assistant director constantly yelling at them to "move, move!" While we couldn't see the stars, watching them film from afar was quite fascinating.

Various films and TV series set in old Shanghai have been filmed here, and seeing it in person is still breathtaking. At nine o'clock in the morning, in the cool breeze, we took the tram around the park and walked to Longcheng University, where Professor Shen, played by Ju, teaches. A light rain had begun to fall. Although I'm not a qualified "Guardian Girl," since I was here, I had to check in at the places where Ju had appeared.

The rain gradually stopped, and the saxophone performance was so exciting that we sat for a long time at the noodle stall opposite the western-style building.

When we were about to take a final walk and leave, we found a studio. It turned out to be a filming location. The large green background attracted us to walk in and experience the feeling of the big screen.

Located at 366 Yingjia Road, Chedun Town, Songjiang District, Shanghai. Once one of China's top ten film and television studios, this area embodies the urban charm of old Shanghai and the secrets of filmmaking. As a child, most of the domestic dramas set in Shanghai were filmed here. Among the most famous are "Romance in the Rain," "Lust, Caution," "The Bund," and "Love in a Fallen City."

The highly accurate reproduction of old Shanghai here provides an ideal filming location for film and television productions, allowing viewers to relive the vibrant charm of old Shanghai. These diverse sets authentically and artistically showcase Shanghai's history and cultural landscape, serving as a gallery for understanding and familiarizing themselves with the city's evolution.

After walking through Nanjing Road and its old alleyways from the 1930s and absorbing the cultural sensibilities of old Shanghai, it's time to experience a different side of the city. Here, you'll find Catholic churches, medieval wineries, and European-style buildings inspired by Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Norway, and more. It's a perfect location for filming!

The architectural style of Old Shanghai bears a profound imprint of history, with a striking coexistence of Eastern and Western influences. Consequently, the vibrant charm of Old Shanghai has become synonymous with a distinct style: Shanghainese culture. During that era, the coexistence of Chinese and Westerners, and the convergence of cultures from various countries and regions, resulted in a Shanghainese lifestyle that blends the graceful elegance of the East with the simplicity of the West.

By Ryoinya Warrior |

Getting to the movie studio from downtown Shanghai was quite a hassle, taking about three hours round trip. The studio is large and has a retro feel, so you could spend half a day taking photos there. However, the buildings are run-down, and the roads and buildings are filthy. The 80 yuan ticket price wasn't very worthwhile, but it's worth a visit if you enjoy taking photos.

By 🐠Little Fish Begonia🐠 |

It's a 15-minute drive from the Shenjiahu Expressway. The collection of old Shanghai architecture from various eras and styles is quite impressive, though some props might be hidden if a film crew is filming. There are no models today, so I'll just be shooting street scenes. If you're shooting people, be sure to wear clothing from the era! (Like Xiaofeng)

By Insomnia dog |

The filming location of the scenic spots in "Deep Love in the Rain", showing the style of old Shanghai one by one

By Viya |

Actually, I went there to take some pictures. Many of the buildings are dilapidated, but the photos I took are pretty good and you can hardly tell.

By chencurl |

A film and television base with old Shanghai as the main background.

By Chestnut ಥ_ಥ |

It's not fun at all. Don't go. It's too bad.

By Big Bad Wolf |

Here you can find the urban style of old Shanghai, the secrets behind the filming, and the standard European courtyard. The unique style of old Shanghai is one of its characteristics.

By I just want to change my name |

The film and television park is not big, or to be more precise, it is a bit shabby.

The first thing you see when you enter the gate is the wishing well where Ke Yun was looking for memories. The house behind the wishing well is the indoor shooting spot of Lu’s house.

By Xiaodie |

This place is really far away, and it's not very big inside, but I went there to check in, so it's worth a visit for me.

By one |

It's okay to play here for the company's team building activities. Playing alone feels a bit lacking

By Strawberry Field Wine Heart |

Everyone should be familiar with Shanghai Film and Television City. This is the bridge where Yiping jumped off. It's divided into several areas, each with a different style and era. Just take as many photos as you can and don't worry about anything else. Just remember to bring two bottles of water. If you're lucky, you might run into the crew, but that requires a lot of luck. I didn't run into them anyway.

By Fantasy Engineer |

It only takes about half an hour to get there from Shanghai South Railway Station, which is very convenient.

I went there during the Shanghai Tourism Festival and the tickets were half price, which was quite a good deal.

Why did my colleague see Li Yifeng when he went out to play, but I didn’t see any big star?

But it was my first time seeing the filming, and I thought it was pretty fun!

By Zhe |

Shanghai Chedun Film and Television Park: Tickets are 80 yuan, and a package (including a 4D movie and 3D art exhibition) is 90 yuan. The park truly embodies the feel of old Shanghai and is perfect for any pose. We even ran into a film crew filming the day we were there. It's definitely worth a visit if you have the time.

By Chen Ling |

When I asked my daughter where she wanted to go after she came to Shanghai for university, she suggested the Shanghai Film and Television Park. Many of the buildings there evoke images of old Shanghai, and a visit there would offer a better understanding of the city. We both agreed, and braved the rain to visit the film and television park. Because two film crews were simultaneously filming, many areas were blocked off, so we missed out on seeing many of the iconic landmarks, which was a real shame.

By Walker |

If you hear gunfire or explosions around 10:30 am or 2:30 pm, don't be afraid because filming is still going on here.

By China-TravelNote users |

Be sure to book your ticket online in advance. I forgot and it was too late to buy it when I got to the door. The extra 20 yuan was enough for a round trip ticket. I think it's great. It's the look of old Shanghai in my mind. I took the tram twice back and forth and it was super satisfying.

By znxiao |

Since I prefer the architecture and feel of the Republican era, I visited Shanghai Film and Television Park. It's the filming location for many Republican-era dramas, like "My Fair Princess" and "Love in a Fallen City." There are many familiar scenes, centered around Nanjing Road, with the Paramount and Wing On Company. Most of the buildings can only be viewed and photographed from the outside, but there are trams you can ride. The listed price is 80, but I recommend buying it online in a group purchase for 117 for two people, and be sure to book it a day in advance. Overall, 3.5 stars. It's great for taking photos, but a little boring, so a two- to three-hour visit is enough.

By China-TravelNote users |

It's quite far. We went from Xiaonanmen subway station to Shanghai South Station to transfer to Jinshan Railway. When we exited the station, we were confused and couldn't find the Songjiang No. 61 bus. We got on No. 6 bus, and after getting off, we ran for 40 minutes and ran to the back door. When we entered the back door station, there were antique buildings under renovation everywhere. It was hard to find the attractions inside. To be honest, it was really not worth it. The ticket includes the tram, but the tram was blocked off and we couldn't ride it at all. The buildings inside were also similar. They were all exterior walls, and the inside was empty or filled with stone. It felt like it would take at most an hour and a half to finish the tour. There was no surprise or excitement. It's a place I won't visit again after visiting it once.

By Mal's East Wind |

You can find the feeling of old Shanghai here. Occasionally you will encounter film crews and couples taking wedding photos. It is a very suitable place for taking photos.

By Red Bamboo Croak |

The overall experience was average. The park isn't very large, and the scenery is rather dated, with no particularly typical scenes. There were three crews filming, none of which were particularly famous films, and none of the actors were famous. The theater performance was quite low-brow, making Shanghai look like a farce!

By Jenny |

The scenic area is rich in the old Shanghai style, with mailboxes, foreign companies, and various shops. It is particularly suitable for taking photos and framing, allowing you to fully experience the old Shanghai. If you are lucky, you can also see the crew.

By sherry |

The Shanghai Chedun Film and Television Base, one of China's top ten film and television bases, embodies the urban charm of old Shanghai and the secrets of filmmaking. As a devoted fan of "Romance in the Rain" and "The Disguiser," searching for traces of these films was the primary purpose of this trip.

It seems that this film and television base does not allow tourists to enter after 3:30 pm. We walked inside for a long time, and when we came out, there were basically no tourists. Finally, we took photos in the row of trees near the entrance. There may be tourists from outside who wanted to come in, but it was past the admission time, and the staff at the gate said they could not enter.

By An exaggeration |

The Chedun Film and Television Base in Shanghai evokes the urban charm of old Shanghai. Walking to the main tramway feels like stepping into the TV series "Romance in the Rain." Du Fei and Shu Huan are chased onto a tram while filming Qin Wuye. In a moment of urgency, Shu Huan gives the film to Ru Ping.

(Half price with student ID)

By Ohio279 |

I found that many TV series were filmed here, and I also saw a crew filming.

By Durian, you forget to eat |

It's worth a visit. It feels like Shanghai.

By Passerby |

You might run into the crew filming, hahaha~

By Feng Lan |

Walking into the film and television city felt like stepping into a TV series. Many scenes are vivid in my mind. As someone who loves old Shanghai architecture, I found the film and television city quite interesting. It's a bit far from the city center, so I took the subway to Beiqiao Station and then took bus No. 881 to Chedunxia. During the Shanghai Tourism Festival, tickets were half-price at 40 yuan each, which was a great deal. I encountered three film crews filming, but unfortunately, I didn't see any famous actors.

By Eating potatoes all over the world |

Instantly travel back to Shanghai during the Republic of China, where even the advertisements on the telephone poles have the style of old Shanghai.

By Matcha ice cream |

There are all kinds of buildings, and you might even run into a film crew.

By JunJun bacteria |

It was so hot!!! The crew blocked off the area for filming. I saw the crews of "Autumn Cicada Taiwan Past" and "Ulong Yuan". The extras were really miserable, wearing short sleeves over long sleeves all day in the scorching heat! But the old Shanghai architecture was beautiful to photograph. It was quite touching.

By Fireball meteor shower |

Shanghai Film and Television Park, one of China's top ten film and television bases, embodies the urban charm of old Shanghai, offering behind-the-scenes insights into filmmaking and featuring European-style courtyards.

I went during the National Day holiday in 2016. Compared to other crowded attractions, this one was relatively good. The only thing that was a bit crowded was the small museum, which displayed a variety of antiques and had some good photo ops. Also, scenes from "Romance in the Rain" and "Kung Fu Hustle" were filmed here. Well, I only had popsicles here. There aren't many snacks here, so bring your own. It's quite large and can easily accommodate a half-day.

By Han Xiaolu_LL |

The pier, the rickshaws, the station, the rickshaws, it's like going back to old Shanghai. If you like the feeling of old Shanghai and love taking photos, this place is worth a visit. The ticket is 70 yuan. I bought it online. It was too sudden or it was 60 yuan. The ticket office should be 80 yuan per ticket. It is difficult to buy tickets for the attractions on the day. You have to buy them a day in advance, so you need to make a good plan.

By indeyo |

Very pleasantly surprised!! It's worth a visit. It closes at 4:30 pm, so go early to play~~

By Mirage in the Universe |

This place. Come by yourself. I've been here three or four times with the client. Although Chedun is in decline, it's still a good place to get to know the film and television base.

By Xiaofei F |

I've watched so many TV dramas that the name Chedun is incredibly familiar. I always thought it was the name of this film and television base, but it's actually a fairly large place. I redeemed my tickets with points on Ctrip. There weren't many tourists, even though there was a crew filming, but it was generally very quiet. This place is perfect for someone like me who's afraid of crowds. Every scene is familiar to me, especially the tram tracks and the huge Sincere Company train station at the corner. It's very impressive.

By De |

It's not bad, but many shops are closed and there are few people, it's very quiet.

By Lollipop 🍭 |

I've been seeing friends around me coming here to play. Today I have a rare free day, the weather is great, and I happened to meet the crew filming. The buildings and scenery are very beautiful, and it feels like that.

By Good job, Qiu |

Most of the films from the Republic of China were shot here. This is the place where you have the highest chance of bumping into celebrities. I saw many crews shooting here, and I even saw Yin Xiaotian.

By amyno0911 |

The Chedun Film and Television Base is not very big, and it mainly features the old Shanghai style. If you go there on weekdays, there are not many people at all.

By style |

Most of the domestic TV dramas and movies about Shanghai have been filmed here. The most famous ones include "Romance in the Rain", "Lust, Caution", "The Bund", "Love in a Fallen City", "Madam Golden", "Dances with Wolves", "Piao Shuai", "Heroes", and "Sparrow".

By LiQ_Muziqiao |

I came to the film and television city because I was interested in time travel and wanted to see if I could have the chance to become a star. The process was quite fun, but it was too inconvenient to get there.

By civet cat |

It's said this paradise evokes the charm of 1930s Shanghai, a world away from the bustling, modern New Shanghai. And it's true! Every building on the street seems to have appeared on screens before, with trams constantly whizzing by. Waibaidu, Mahler Apartments, steeple-shaped churches, the train station, a scene of countless joys and sorrows, and the bustling life of the foreign concessions, all unfold the dreamlike image of old Shanghai.



Most of the domestic period dramas set in Shanghai have been filmed here, the most famous of which include "Romance in the Rain," "Lust, Caution," "Like Fog, Like Rain, Like Wind," "The Bund," "My Fair Princess," "Love in a Fallen City," "Kung Fu Hustle," and "2046."



Don't be surprised if you hear gunfire or explosions, or see people dressed strangely. There's a new film set filming here every day, and you never know if you'll run into a big name. And I heard a rumor that wearing a cheongsam gets you half-price admission? Seriously?

By Saturday |

I decided to go to the production base of anti-Japanese films. My mom is a big fan, so I bought tickets online. Dianping.com is ¥62.9 per ticket. People over 60 can buy tickets at half price on site.

The parking lot is large, but a bit shabby. The entrance is the locomotive, and there are toilets next to it. On the day I went there, there was a Japanese crew filming, as well as Yan Kuan and Qin Lan's crew, and Chen Kun.

The crew, that bridge is an iconic building that can be seen in many films. Since I went there, I have a sense of déjà vu when I see some scenes.

By Lu Zhuozhuo |

When I went there, there was a new 3D photo booth and Huang Bo was filming there. It was really hard to get my mom to take photos of me.

By Serladi |

Chedun is actually quite interesting. If you've watched a lot of Republican-era dramas or anti-Japanese war dramas, you'll probably find a lot of fun here. We took a taxi from Xuhui, which cost about 150 yuan one way. There are restaurants within the park, and we went to the one that Sun Jian and Wang Feifei visited on Hubei TV's "If Love." The spaghetti bolognese was pretty good.

By Elvis |

! ! It has the flavor of old Shanghai! ! ! ! Walking in history

By Lena |

It's a bit far, but other than that it's ok. I went there during the off-season, so there weren't many people. Some were taking wedding photos, and there were few crews. I was able to see many scenes from movies and TV series.

By Simple Little Happiness 007 |

I went there in the first half of the year. It was very far from Sheshan Station on Line 9. It took me half an hour to get there by bus. But it was still a great place to take pictures. The half-sided cruise ship, antique car and villa can stay for a long time... A good place for taking pictures

By Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind |

Many Republican-era films were filmed here. If you're nostalgic or just looking to experience the charm of old Shanghai, this is definitely worth a visit. Of course, many of the props are movie props, so if you look closely, they might look fake. And it's not Hollywood, so if you're a perfectionist, you might be a little disappointed. After all, the main purpose of coming here is to experience the nostalgic atmosphere, right?

By Fairy Wei |

In addition to filming, it is also a great place for wedding photos. It has the feeling of old Shanghai in TV dramas and you can find many sets used in TV dramas.

By Lemon Ouni sauce |

It's a place with a good feel, but it's a bit far and not very big.

By Chestnuts are round |

I went to the film and television base in late spring and early autumn. It was drizzling and a bit chilly. There were very few people in the film and television city, probably because of the weather. I wandered around casually. I was probably not too interested in the architecture, and the fact that there were so few people made me finish the walk quickly. The railway was the most impressive part, especially on rainy days. It was very beautiful and great for taking photos.

By Xiaoqi |

As a film and television city, it's not particularly impressive, but it does offer a unique glimpse into the atmosphere of old Shanghai, a place steeped in the history of the city. If you haven't experienced the charm of old Shanghai, I recommend a visit; otherwise, it's pointless. However, with so few tourists, it's a pleasant place to stroll around.

By small_potato |

While the ticket price is a bit high and public transportation isn't particularly convenient, it's still worth a visit. It truly embodies the ambiance of old Shanghai, with life-size replicas of landmarks from the era, such as the Sincere Company, the Mahler Villa, the Waibaidu Bridge, and the Shiliupu Wharf, complete with trams. Those who enjoy nostalgia and a sense of time will definitely appreciate it, and it's a great place to take friends for photos.

The Shanghai Chedun Film and Television Base, also known as the Shanghai Film and Television Park, is located in Chedun Town, Songjiang District. It's commonly referred to by both film and television professionals and ordinary tourists alike as the Chedun Film and Television Base. This park, with its distinctly 1930s Shanghai charm, seems to exist in a different time and space from the bustling, modern Shanghai. Here, clanging trams constantly shuttle between the three major companies, Sincerely, Wing On, and Xinxin, the Shikumen alleys, Waibaidu, the Mahler Apartments, and the steeple-shaped churches, all showcasing the dreamlike charm of a foreign land.

Nanjing Road in the 1930s: Sit on a tram, and the clanging sounds of it passing through it are like stepping through a time tunnel—you've arrived in old Shanghai in the 1930s! The three major companies, Sincere, Wing On, and Sun Sun, which opened in the early 20th century, stand side by side. Sanyang Nanhuo Store, Shen Dacheng Dim Sum Shop, Rishenglou, Shengxifu Shoe and Hat Shop, Yiletian Tea House, Wang Xingji Fan Shop, Henry Watch Shop, Zhang Xiaoquan Knife and Scissors... Of course, this tram is as crowded as the subway during rush hour. Take a stroll around Tianxiangli or Shanghai Old Street, adjacent to Nanjing Road, and stop at a Shikumen building to soak up the unique atmosphere and feel of Shanghainese people. If you happen to see a film crew filming and their props haven't been collected yet, you can take a photo—it's a quiet spot in the bustling city.

By Xiaoqi |

Because we woke up early, we arrived at Chedun just before 9:00. The crowds at the entrance were spectacular. It was such a chore to have to work on such a beautiful weekend. It was the Shanghai Tourism Festival, so Chedun tickets were half-price. Normally, they're 80 yuan each, but at this time, I could get two people in for just 80 yuan, which felt like a steal.

The Shanghai Chedun Film and Television Studio is located in Chedun Town, Songjiang District, at 4915 Beisong Road. Take Metro Line 1, get off at Xinzhuang Station, and take the Xinsong Line to Chedun Town. Alternatively, drive along the Inner Ring Expressway, then Humin Road, then the Xinsong Expressway (Xinqiao Exit), and finally Chedun Town. This paradise, distinctly reminiscent of 1930s Shanghai, seems to exist in a different timeframe from the bustling, modern Shanghai. Here, clanging trams shuttle between the three major companies, Sincerely, Wing On, and Xinxin, the Shikumen alleys, Waibaidu, the Mahler Apartments, and the steeple-shaped churches, all captivating the illusion of a foreign land.

My last stop in Shanghai was the Chedun Film and Television Studio. One of China's top ten film and television studios, it's located in Shanghai's southern suburbs, to avoid intrusive high-rise buildings. Here, I could savor the charm of Shanghai in the 1930s and relive the stories from films and TV series.

To get to the Chedun Film and Television Base from Shanghai South Railway Station, you have to take the high-speed rail to Chedun Station, which is an intercity line. We arrived at Chedun Station in less than 20 minutes. To save time, we took a taxi. Arriving at the entrance of the film and television base, I suddenly thought of the TV series and movies I've seen before, from "The Bund," "Romance in the Rain," "The Lone Eagle," and "Eastern Battlefield." They were all filmed here.

From "The Bund" and "Romance in the Rain" to "The Lone Eagle" and "Eastern Front," all were filmed here.

Inside, there's a European-style garden surrounded by numerous European-style buildings. Among them is Mahler Villa, a garden villa with a distinctly Nordic feel, though it's more like a fairytale castle. It's said that the house was designed based on a dream of the owner, Mahler's beloved youngest daughter.

Nanjing Road is the highlight of the studio. While it's now a modern commercial street, the Nanjing Road here retains its authentic character from the 1930s. As it was Shanghai's most prosperous area at the time, it frequently appears on screen. Remember Ke Yun's "jump" scene? It happened here. The traffic light covered in palms in "Kung Fu Hustle" is also here, as is Ru Ping and Shu Huan's first encounter and Yan Shuangying's Dynasty Ballroom.

There's a Shikumen building next to Nanjing Road, a lost Xintiandi in reality. Remember Yiping's apartment, the "Story in the Rain," and Erhao and Fangyu's "Little Puddle"? They all happened here.

The last stop is Waibaidu Bridge, which is also authentic to the 1930s. Most people are probably most familiar with the scene where Yiping jumps into the river. It was here. The scene where the 800 warriors defended the Sihang Warehouse in the recently released film "Eastern Front" was also filmed here.

Transportation: Take Line 1 or Line 3 to Shanghai South Railway Station, then take the Jinshan Line to Chedun Station

Unexpectedly, I had good luck. The weather on Saturday was not very hot, and it was basically cloudy and not too sunny. I set off at around 12 o'clock and drove for more than an hour before arriving. I looked for a parking space for a while, and found that the ones on the roadside were free. The ticket was a bit expensive at 90, which was a bit expensive. It included a small 5D movie and a 3D painting. At first I thought it was very big, but it took less than two hours to go around it. It's not bad that Shanghai has such a piece of land for this. The imitation Mahler villa inside is really well built, but you can't go in. There is also a classic car exhibition, which is really good. It has a sense of history. There are many people riding the tram inside, which feels like stepping into that era. Generally speaking, there are not many people. It happened to be summer vacation, and many people brought their children to play. Apart from the expensive ticket price, it is also good for leisure. It's just that I didn't encounter any filming that day, so I didn't see anything.

I took my kids here to take photos and happened to run into a film crew filming. The place is small and there were many people taking wedding photos.

The Chedun Film and Television Base is a bit out of the way. I thought Minhang District was a bit out of the way, and Chedun even more so. However, I heard there's a direct train from Shanghai South Railway Station that takes about half an hour. I originally planned to get off at Shanghai South Station, but unfortunately, it was Qingming Festival, so the train was running on weekend schedules. If you want to take the train from Shanghai South Station to Chedun, I recommend checking the train times online in advance to avoid missing it. I thought it was just average, mainly because the ticket price wasn't worth it. I spent 80 yuan to see a few replica buildings. If you want to see more of Shanghai's traditional architecture, you'd be better off going to the Bund. I also heard that The Disguiser was filmed here, so okay, it's a little interesting.

The filming location of some old Shanghai dramas, not very big, just wander around, a bit remote

The 80 yuan ticket is really not expensive. It feels like entering the "Deep Love in the Rain"

I went to experience the crowd actors, without having to buy a ticket, and put on the kimono as if I was in the Republic of China period, haha

How should I put it? I was a little disappointed. If I only had three days or so, I wouldn't have come unless I had a special interest! I came here because of its reputation. The scenic area is small and can be visited quickly, but it's definitely popular with girls taking photos! It's quite far from the city center, so transportation is not very convenient! Taking the high-speed train from Shanghai South Railway Station to Chedun, then transferring to Songjiang Bus No. 6 to Lianying Road intersection and Qiuchang Road is relatively fast, but be aware of the train schedule. There are significantly fewer trains on holidays and weekends than on weekdays. If you want to go, plan ahead and don't waste time! I optimized my route again. If you live near Metro Line 9, you can take it to Zuibaichi and then take a taxi for the 9 kilometers. Without traffic, you'll arrive in no time! This is probably the most convenient way!

It's okay. The pictures look impressive, but once I got there, I felt a bit disappointed. It's quite small, and I could walk around it in one go. Furthermore, one of the crew members was quite irritable. We were strolling around, and they suddenly came over to take pictures after dinner. They wouldn't even talk to us properly, they just yelled at us. It's such a shame to pay to get in and get treated like that. The entrance fee is 80 yuan, and the 3D photography area is another 10 yuan. It's a small area with few people taking photos and no one around. The 5D experience is another 10 yuan. I just went to Nanjing last week and visited several attractions, but none of them were like this. Having to go in and spend money twice was a huge waste of money. The place is so small, it's not worth the price. It was even more disappointing on a rainy day, and we were rushed back and forth. The only good thing I thought was the martial arts show "Shanghai Beach" on the Performing Arts Stage. It was well-performed, and the actors worked so hard, performing every day. I give it a thumbs up. There are two shows a day, so check the time indicated on the ticket price. There's a Sunny Island Cafe inside, and the food is quite good and the portions are generous. There are celebrity signatures on the wall, including those of director Lu Chuan and Zhou Libo.

I drove here on the weekend. Because it's in Chedun Town, I'd always called it the Songjiang Chedun Film and Television Base before I arrived. There are two ticket offices. One is probably the main entrance, which is quite crowded, so we chose the one near the old train station. Tickets are a bit pricey, 80 yuan for adults, 40 yuan for students, and 25 yuan for people over 70. Inside, you'll find old Shanghai street scenes, buildings, and garden villas—presumably filming facilities. You can take a free, short ride on the trams that circle the main road. However, it's much smaller than I expected, and there's nothing special about it. At 80 yuan, it's not worth it! Personally, I think it might be a bit of a novelty for non-Shanghainese people, but it won't be very interesting for Shanghainese.

What's behind the screen is not as colorful as what's in front of the screen, but there are many unknown secrets behind the screen.
