Most people know Jiao Zuo because of Yuntai Mountain or the Henan Polytechnical University. There is, however, another place right in Jiao Zuo worth checking out – Ying Shi Cheng. The Film and TV City. Erected in 1995, it is one of China’s top ten filming locations for historical tv and movie productions.

The entire area facilitates two palace complexes, a small town center (including a main road, private houses, guest house, restraurant, etc.), a temple, a farm house and even a wall that could count as the Great Wall. Passing through, you really feel taken back in time when emperors still ruled the nation and romance and adventure waited just around the corner. And if you are lucky, you might even run into a film crew working on a production.

Once they see it, most Chinese are familiar with the place because of the many movie scenes that have been produced here and many famous actors have sweated and enjoyed the dramas, tragedies, romance and adventures enfolding here in Yin Shi Cheng.

Entrance fees range anywhere from ¥13 – ¥50 per person.
