[@civivva4501]

That was so interesting. And it was amazing that you were allowed to walk around so freely when people were working in some parts.

[@AdeleiTeillana]

This is why I originally subscribed to your channel - for the behind-the-scenes insights into Chinese drama and filmmaking! Anyone can review dramas, even non-Chinese people, but it's very difficult for us 外国人 to access any information about what goes on behind-the-scenes. Like your videos way back in the day talking about how voice overs are used. I love this type of content!

[@veryqun]

It's really nostalgic remembering all those dramas with your walkthrough 😊 Imagine if the crew you caught on camera end up having a blockbuster airing, and then you make videos about it remembering how you actually saw them as a tourist in Hengdian 🤣

[@principeturandot4593]

I love your walking tour little series! And when I saw that bridge and other parts for The Untamed and Word of Honor... my nostalgic heart just broke again! 🥺🥰PS: Kudos to you for fearlessly walking through the heat and through working sets, LOL! You're braver than I would be.

[@sophiejones3554]

That's Jinlintai! The tower with the huge staircase that Jin Guangyao gets pushed down twice. It's interesting that Yi City and the manor where they apprehend Xue Yang are literally in the same place. No wonder they couldn't let him jump over the gate then, and I guess they erased the tower. Heh... *that* street from WOH. And also, interesting how Lotus Pier was such a mishmatch, but looked so seamless in the drama. Really well done!

[@marianne3802]

The place at 10:00 looks like the ghost town where Xue Yang, Xiao Xingchen, and A-Qing lived together in the drama. Maybe I'm wrong but it looks very familiar lol

[@sophiejones3554]

@@marianne3802 yup. "Yi City" is the name of that place in the English translation of the novel. In the show the subtitles call it "Coffin Town", but that sounds way sillier than it was supposed to so people generally use the novel's translation.

[@moodygirl609]

Interesting to see these locations and how dilapitated they look while there is not filming going on. Brings home just how much 'make believe' there is to drama world.

[@corneliusdobeneck4081]

One thing I recognised: in a western country film crews would probably go total beserk if some tourists walks through their working space filming stuff.

[@jennyluo6929]

Thank you for doing these Hengdian Vlogs for us, despite the scorching sun.

[@Pearl-vr2pb]

10:21 Donghua Dijun and Feng Jiu in 'Eternal Love' had a scene here, they went up to that sky bridge.. lol it's one of my favorite scenes.. 😊😊😊

[@JCear]

This is something I would love to experience; not just touring the sets but witnessing some construction and interior design that goes on behind some scenes. I watched a behind-the-scenes construction clip of the palace's circular courtyard with a big tree(“Love Like the Galaxy”). It was 👍

[@wollevy2328]

Thanks for walking around in the heat in order to give us so many views of this interesting place! It is really cool ( no pun intended) to see the working side of drama- making. You held up well after all the walking and looked cute as always in your hat. I liked your comment about the ancient towns being built on a human scale. Most cities now have ignored that and consequently are very uncomfortable to walk around in. But I guess when you have 35 million people to accommodate you need more than a small village. But, like in Chongqing, there can be many small scale places within the large city. Love your vlogs, please keep them coming!

[@wolfco47]

They are definitely building. That first sound is a nail gun in use. And, of course that second sound is a table saw of some sort. Oh, it is so cool that you were able to see some preliminary set construction for a project you just mentioned in a video. It is really wonderful to have a more direct connection to projects you are interested it. The engagement is higher. Thank you so much for taking the time to post all these vlogs while you've been busy and traveling a great deal. These are experiences I don't think I would find for myself. I'm really gaining a new perspective on the foundations used to establish time and place in film. There really is a lot that goes into the creation of images, and it often starts with some basics of stage selection.

[@joessjoess]

Большое спасибо за экскурсию! Спасибо, что не поленились и съездили сюда, очень интересно смотреть, как в реальной жизни выглядят места съемок. Вы бесстрашная ходить по жаре и по неизвестным закоулкам. Берегите себя 🙏

[@lizhuff9629]

This was amazing! I will most likely never get to travel to China and so these vlogs are priceless to me. Thanks for upping my fan Cdrama status with all of the information and BTS. Love it!

[@TheGreenbutsad]

Thank you, I was feeling like a kid in a candy store. It was so good that you actually record everything, not just clips. It felt like we were there❤❤

[@klaraelisabeth]

These videos I am so grateful for them! It's the highlight of the week! Thank you so much for showing this to us! 😍🤩🥰

[@finalpurposes]

I didn’t know people could visit these drama sets, let alone while they’re shooting 😂 Surprised it’s not full of c drama fans and tourists.

[@MomiAubrey]

Looks like longest day in chang an was also filmed there

[@BalletMum14]

The gate in your shot, it looks like the gates (used in many dramas, of course) used in the untamed when they entered the Nie Clan’s home

[@liztatianaflorez3942]

Thank you for sharing your vlogs with us. They're great!

[@missmercurylady]

Wow, it’s so cool how your were able to tour that planed and to take us with you!

[@Crivitao]

Thank you for a fascinating tour! Appreciate your hard work!❤

[@medawara7789]

Love it! That's the kinda of place I like to visit. I was somewhere similar in japan where historical things are filmed a lot. So cool

[@JesseLCH]

I just screamed when I saw those set. Thank you for this tour!!!

[@ΔεσποιναΡαφτοπουλου-π8β]

Thank you.....I enjoyed your video.....also many thanks for the informations.....enjoy and be well.....❤❤❤❤👍👍👍

[@TinaWok-p4r]

I was watching Be My Princess, the plot is about a historical cdrama. and I think they used this location for filming the historical drama LOL

[@firebender1734]

I'm sure Han Yunxi and Long Feiye was parting after their divorce in the street in minutes 4.00 😅

[@horangi321]

good thing there are fewer tourists around this area, i find it more interesting that the other areas. So cool to see all of these through you! thanks for doing all the walking for us hehehe

[@Chikeola]

Oh, 😊 I have mixed feelings! I love that you are taking us on this adventure of seeing the sets and where the historical dramas are shot, which is so cool 🤩 but then, seeing the actual buildings, the fake details, it's kinda taking the romanticized, lovely feeling of watching life in a previous era away; haha 😀 I love the vlogs though; cool to be on your journey with you 😍

[@Spidercake2]

I really enjoyed this! The last place with round pillars may have been from The Untamed, an early scene at the Mo family house when Wei Wuxian (as Mo Xuanyu) first encounters Lan Sizhui and his buddies. Thanks for going above and beyond!

[@jenniferthanhhango5018]

❤ Toche! I agree, many dramas have these sceneries!

[@bernadettepalmer6407]

Thank you 🙏🏾 for visiting this filming historical/ costume drama location 😊 As I’m an Australian, I won’t be able to visit this location 😮 I did visit China but mostly tourists location only! I loved Chinese drama, especially costumes drama like 👍🏾 recently Lost you forever ❤

[@ellz9186]

Another great video! Thank you- I was so happy watching this. Loving these Hengdian vlogs so much and only makes me want to visit even more. Also is 7:57 the town/main seen in basically every drama? I remember a big street with lanterns that every production used as the main street of a big city .. but can’t clearly recall now.

[@susamirain]

Wonderful! Love seeing the drama locations. Great work!

[@Paula-133]

❤Thank You for going to this place. Its Beautiful and I really love the dramas that where shot there. I love BTS location info.❤I forgot to say I worked in the theater in the U.S. in set design so I love all the details even the tape marks Thanks.

[@bbwwong]

thank you so much for all these vlogs. like you said, there's really no reason to go out there just to walk around but you're doing it for us!

[@mkpresentation2122]

Editors of the drama needs awards 😂

[@anahaddad7747]

So cool! Thank you again!!

[@amysbees6686]

Wow! Can't believe they were filming as you were there! Sadly, that area doesn't look very well maintained (weeds and buildings looking in need of attention).

[@amysbees6686]

Horses should have been under shade, and have access to water. Heat can hurt animals, too!

[@amysbees6686]

You're absolutely right about the scale of human living environments. I learned the same thing!

[@tigerli7964]

So many of my favorite dramas have been shot there!!! I so wanna go there😢 seeing all these places makes me gasp with happiness

[@Kairava]

Maybe you could use an umbrella for the sun? Not sure how practical it would be to carry, but maybe it could hang from a long strap, like a purse, on your back. (It helps me get through the sun and also to scare dogs away if there are any scary strays)

[@alexa2411051]

thank you for this walking video, for me it was like being there!

[@LienJae]

This was so cool to see! Thank you for taking us with you! ❤😍

[@wafarerinjapan]

Thank you this was really fun to see!😄

[@Pihlaaa]

Thanks for this video. I have always wanted to see behind the scenes. Can’t wait for more 😁

[@cbx4630]

Totally Amazing! Thank you for this travel vlog, gives a better frame of reference for places we see in film but can't visit. Question: So, the interior furnishings, where do they get them? Do they rent actual buildings for the interiors, or do they have a warehouses for those? What about all the collectibles from interiors? Real or fake? ❤

[@evdv2011]

I wondered if you ran into Joy of Life 2 b/c I know they were shooting while you were out there, but I don’t know where they were. Cool!

[@goelnuma6527]

Thank you for showing, I really wanted to find out more about these production places

[@charoi9659]

Thank your your Vlogs, they are so interesting! Seeing all of these people there during an ordinary work day and compare it to the drama versions - so cool :D

[@sharonyap7373]

@AvenueX, amazing videos of Hengdian World of Studios! Surprisingly its difficult to find quality videos on Hengdian. I am planning a trip there and noticed its quite difficult to find information online unlike bigger cities across China. Would you share some tips on how you do your research?

[@lanxichen4632]

😍😍Thank you. It reminxs me if the untamed again

[@rx500android]

2:04 is also the entrance to one of the cities in the untamed, it was before the big battle between Wei Wuxian and the clans, it’s where he defeated all the guards

[@zoyazubin6654]

I love untamed drama soooo much

[@rlmccalpin]

You make watching dramas so much fun❤thank you so much❤

[@gilu_2542]

Loving these blogs! Thank you for sharing!

[@coldcole]

can't wait for the next part!

[@theNfl_Esq]

Awesome. Good idea. So long as you act like you belong nobody dares to stop you! 😉When you coming back to Canada?

[@yinxuehui]

I never heard of Hengdian until I saw your videos and it certainly is very beautiful! Do you know of any C dramas that are shot in Yunnan Province? That is where I am from

[@kunaiflicker]

This is so fun!

[@itzmejlou4584]

Can someone please tell me where they shoot the romance of tiger and rose. I really loved that drama🤗

[@sandra-ww9qn]

谢谢！

[@robotmechanic3923]

okay, I have to ask, now that I've seen this. Where is that river bank that is used in so many dramas?

[@natpetpaisit3658]

As much as I loved the walking tour, but there's one moment that I felt serious motion sickness LOL. I think it's because of when you walked, you swing camera left and right. but all in all, a good tour.

[@lanxichen4632]

They ignore you because they knew who you are

[@wilmieulidan640]

😮

[@yannako]

How many days did you walk in Hengdian?

[@fianorian]

You suffer, so I don't have to. ;)

[@patataeve]

Please get a gimbal for your camera TToTT

[@giooadrians]

I wonder why you didnt ask what drama or movie they shoot haha

[@seven-vh4wy]

She mentioned it at 18:18😅
