The Qinwang Palace Scenic Area is located in Hengdian World Studios. It was built in 1997 for the famous director Chen Kaige to shoot the historical blockbuster ‘The Emperor and the Assassin’. Here can be said to be the cradle of many blockbuster films and historical dramas. Nearly a hundred film and television dramas such as ‘Hero’, ‘A Step into the Past’, ‘The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor’ and ‘Schemes of a Beauty’ have been filmed here. The prototype of the Qinwang Palace Scenic Area is the main palace of the Qin Dynasty – Xianyang Palace. The scenic area is huge in scale, complex in shape and strict in layout. There are 27 majestic palaces of various kinds. One tower every five steps and one pavilion every ten steps. The lofty city wall and the palace hall complement each other, vividly showing the majestic momentum of Qin Shihuang annexing the six kingdoms and unifying the world. The main scenic spot in the scenic area is the Hall of Unifying the Four Seas, which is divided into front hall, middle hall and back hall, with a depth of more than 120 meters. It stands majestically, towering and straight. It is the place where the King of Qin holds court and governs. This was once the shooting location of Zhang Yimou’s film ‘Hero’ and the popular Hong Kong drama ‘A Step into the Past’. Now tourists can put on costumes and sit on the throne to take pictures (for a fee). The center of the hall has been transformed into a huge wishing pool by the scenic area, in which there are many coins thrown in by tourists shining brightly. On the ninety-nine steps in front of the hall, actors perform the巡游表演 of the emperor’s ascension to the throne every day. The East Tower beside the Hall of Unifying the Four Seas was once the shooting location of ‘Hero’. Now in the side hall on the east side beside the tower, tourists can enjoy the performance show ‘Heroes Competing in Swordsmanship’. In the West Tower, tourists can watch ‘Dream Back to the Qin and Han Dynasties’. In addition, in the theater ‘The Surprise of the Dragon Emperor’ beside the west palace gate, tourists can watch the 4D film ‘The Surprise of the Dragon Emperor’ shot with the wonderful plot of the Hollywood movie ‘The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor’ as the background. In addition, there is a Huayang Terrace on the west side of the Qinwang Palace. It is the palace of the King of Yan. The style is completely different from that of the Qinwang Palace. Thus, the shooting base of the Qinwang Palace not only reproduces the characteristics of Qin and Jin cultures, but also has the characteristics of architecture culture of Yan and Zhao. One base, two palaces, highly concentrated. Beside Huayang Terrace, there is a ‘Han Street’, which fully shows the style of streets during the Qin and Han Dynasties. However, these two scenic spots are exclusive shooting areas for production crews and are not open to tourists usually. Of course, if you are lucky, maybe you can meet some stars.
