Walking Through History at the Ming and Qing Palace

📍 Ming and Qing Palace, Hengdian World Studios, Zhejiang Province, China

✨ The Ming and Qing Palace is a majestic film set built to resemble the Forbidden City, complete with wide courtyards, golden roofs, and towering red gates. It’s one of the most famous spots in Hengdian for historical dramas and period films.

✨ As you walk through the grand halls and along the marble steps, the scale and detail are breathtaking. Everything—from the carved beams to the symbolic animal statues—feels straight out of imperial China.

✨ Hanfu rental shops are available nearby, making it easy to dress up and truly feel like royalty, a palace maid, or a high-ranking official for the day. The backdrop is ideal for elegant, cinematic photos.

✨ Occasionally, you may come across film crews or live reenactments—marching guards, imperial ceremonies, or traditional music performances that make the palace feel alive with history.

✨ Mornings are the best time to visit to avoid crowds and catch the soft light on the rooftops. Take your time wandering the courtyards—every turn brings another regal scene worth pausing for.
