Hengdian World Studios - Ming Qing Gong Yuan one of the top places to visit when you are in Hengdian. A place where they film movies and tv shows. Enjoy the view from the sky! #djimavicmini #urbanexplorer #leaveyourmark

I visited Hengdian World Studio ‘Palace of Emperor Qin’ and I was impressed with the architectural structure of the palace. The ground is huge and I spent 1.5 hours exploring the site including watching the coronation of the emperor performance. Costumes are available for rent where visitors can dressed up for picture taking mimicking their favourite film stars I.e Miyue 羋月 Many popular Chinese dramas were filmed here. As I am a fan of ancient costume dramas, I am glad to have the chance to step on the site where some scenes were filmed. Hengdian comprises of more than 10 studios but unfortunately I only managed to spend half day at this attraction while enroute to Hangzhou. To cover all the studios, perhaps will need to allocate at least 3-5 days as the studios are spread across the town and some sites are only open in the afternoon. I definitely will return to explore the other studios. #holidayvacation#tripinspired

Hengdian - Qin Wang Palace

We live in a homestay opposite the Qin Wang Palace, so we left the Qin Wang Palace as the last place to visit. They don't allow entry after 4 pm and clear the place by 5 pm. We entered at 3 pm and if we didn't watch the performance, it would take just over an hour to visit. There are many people queuing for the performance, queuing for 2-3 hours, and the performance is only about 10 minutes, which is a waste of time. It's better to watch a formal theater performance, and the actors are relatively amateur. Single tickets are 198, if you book online a day in advance it's 188, and a package for 3 attractions is 450. There are discounts for people over 60 and students. The city wall is not allowed to go up, it looks very grand on the spot, but there are not many attractions, there are many people in the long alley under the city wall, it doesn't feel good to take pictures, there are only two squares in total, it's really not worth it. There is a flying sky in the venue, about 180, different prices for adults and children, just a few rounds on it, overall it doesn't feel too good.

Hengdian Film and Television City is very fun

👍Most recommended: Qin Wang Palace, Dream Valley, Dream Bund, Ming and Qing Palace Garden Each attraction has performances at different times, it is recommended to wear Hanfu to Qin Wang Palace, the Dream Bund must be the Republic of China style cheongsam, Ming and Qing Palace Garden wear princess costume, the photos are very good!

Hengdian World Studios

I really liked Hengdian Studios! Take your time to explore and enjoy the pop up shows, decor amd architecture. It feels like a different world, walking around all these beautiful spots. Getting There - It's easy to get around. Although the studios are scattered around, you can just get a Didi to take you to the different studios. Attractions - There's a lot to see and it's big...I would recommend you take two days if you want to do it at a leisurely pace. I squeezed all of them into one day...it's doable but then you are rushed. Hotels - There's a lot of hotels around Hengdian that you can choose according to your own preferences. Food & Restaurants - There's snack stalls where you can buy something to eat and drink. Shopping - You have to go through a shop to exit the attraction where you can buy memorabilias.

Jinhua Little Iceland | A niche treasure and secret destination, exclusively enjoy the Nordic scenery

| A niche treasure and secret destination, exclusively enjoy the Nordic scenery. If you can't make it to Daocheng, take a trip to Jinhua Little Iceland first! 📍 Navigation: Danaye · Jinhua Mountain Little Iceland It's only a 2.5h drive from Hangzhou, and 40min from Jinhua city center to Jinhua Little Iceland ⚠️ It is recommended to drive there, as there are currently no bus stops at the site The nearest bus stop is 'Shuanglong' station, and it's a 1.4km walk, about 20 minutes, from there. 🎫 Ticket: 78 RMB per person, includes a beverage Upon first stepping in It's as if you've stepped into a movie scene Below the grey-brown mine Lies a pool of emerald water A large ship quietly docked here A black camping site A white English sign It's just like a small town from the Western World. This place is located in an abandoned 🪨 quarry in Jinhua's Jiulong Village, covering an area of about 200 acres. Little Iceland is actually a mountaintop ⛰️, but this mountain is special, as it is made of typical limestone, appearing blackish-grey, 🌿 without a blade of grass, resembling a black sand beach. Beneath this dark rock lies a lake, with clear and cold water, 🌬️ and when the wind blows, ripples dance across the surface. It is said that this place was discovered by the film crew of 'The Farthest South', who built a whaling ship 🐋 according to the needs of the plot. Now, this place has become an internet-famous spot, overcrowded, no longer the leisurely and comfortable small town it once was ‼️ Therefore, make sure to prepare well before visiting Little Iceland, and it is suggested to come in the 🌅 morning or forenoon. At this time, the sun rises in the east, full of vitality, and the photos taken are especially beautiful, but the most important point is that there are fewer people, the whole scenic area is yours, 📸 take photos however you want, and it's easier to get good shots. If you come during noon, not only does the light lose its three-dimensionality, but the place is also full of tourists, making it hard to find a poetic and picturesque atmosphere. 📷 Photography suggestions: Bring a transparent or pure black umbrella as a photo prop Photos taken on rainy or foggy days will feel more atmospheric Nearby attractions include the Jinhua Shuanglong Scenic Tourism Area (Shuanglong Cave, Lünu Lake, Huang Daxian Ancestral Palace), and friends who are interested can also explore these places～

Zhejiang has its own little Iceland

The overall atmosphere is quite nice. However, considering the ticket price of 78, there isn't much to do (includes a cup of coffee☕️). It's probably a place you would only visit once. Sisters who like taking photos might enjoy it here. It's not really worth a special trip just for this.

It's not that Iceland is unaffordable, but rather that Little Iceland offers better value for money

🎄If you can't make it to Western Sichuan, then come to Little Iceland in Zhejiang, a niche and free check-in sanctuary, a divine spot for photography 🎄Location: Little Iceland, Wucheng District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province 🎄Navigation: Little Iceland, Jinhua, Zhejiang 🎄No admission fee

Jinhua's Little Iceland
