Show More ReviewsThe movie shooting location is great for taking photos, especially portraits. Changing into different outfits and taking pictures there adds to the atmosphere. However, just visiting for the time being might be a bit monotonous and boring, as the activities are limited. The staff member, Xiao Ru, was very friendly and proactively helped me with the show times when I was alone, which was nice. 👍
