Shanghai Film Park
上海影视乐园 (Shanghai Film Park) — China's largest film studio, covering 800,000 m² with sets replicating old Shanghai from the 1930s–1940s. Here you will step back into the city's golden era: the famous Nanjing Road with retro trams, European quarters, traditional Shanghai shikumen houses, and modern studios where hundreds of films and TV series were shot. It's an ideal destination for movie lovers, photographers, and anyone who wants to see Shanghai of the last century.
What awaits you: a private tour from central Shanghai in a comfortable car. You will walk along 1930s Nanjing Road, ride a vintage tram, visit film sets, take part in costumed shows and even try on Chinese costumes for a photo session.
