Known as the “Hollywood of the East,” this sprawling film set is where cinematic magic comes alive. My personal highlight? The majestic Qin Palace Scenic Area. Walking through its grand halls and courtyards, I couldn’t help but relive iconic scenes from my favorite dramas like The Legend of Qin and Nirvana in Fire. The authenticity and grandeur of the set made me feel as if I had traveled back in time to ancient China. Hengdian doesn’t stop there; the Dreamlike Valley Scenic Area is a theme park that offers thrills and spectacles. From breathtaking water shows to roller coasters, it’s a place that balances history with pure fun. After indulging in the cinematic allure, I journeyed to the serene West Lake, the heart of Hangzhou’s beauty. A leisurely boat ride across its tranquil waters, surrounded by weeping willows and mist-covered hills, was nothing short of poetic. Strolling along the Su Causeway, I marveled at the harmony between man and nature that defines this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Tips for Your Visit: 1️⃣ Allocate a full day for Hengdian to fully immerse in its rich history and thrilling attractions. 2️⃣ Visit West Lake at sunrise or sunset for the most magical views. 3️⃣ Don’t miss the chance to try Hangzhou’s local delicacies, like Longjing shrimp and Dongpo pork, to round off the experience.
