[Preface]

The Liangjiang International Film and Television City, which gathers anti Japanese war culture, capital culture, and Ba Yu culture, tells the historical and cultural changes of Chongqing, the heroic city, from the perspective of the past and present of a city. Its urban appearance and unique charm cannot and should not be forgotten.

In 2012, it was built to cooperate with the famous director Feng Xiaogang in filming the historical epic film "1942" and officially opened to society. Liangjiang Film and Television City is located in Longxing Town, Yubei District, Chongqing. It is a large-scale comprehensive tourist attraction that integrates film and television shooting, cultural tourism, vacation and leisure, and historical sightseeing.

Since 2012, the scenic area has successively restored and built more than 200 famous buildings and historical blocks, including the Victory Monument of the Anti Japanese War, Qunlin Market, Hengdali Watch Store, Jincheng Bank, Jianguo Bank, Guanshengyuan Food Company, Guotai Theater, National Government Building, Jiangquan Tai Hao, Qiansimen, Chaotianmen Pier, etc., which have responded to Chongqing's opening as a port, especially during the period of the capital city. As a result, many tourists also call it "Republic of China Street".

After two years of closed construction and expansion since 2015, the total number of tourists to Liangjiang International Film and Television City has exceeded 5 million since its second opening on New Year's Day in 2017. Its rich cultural heritage and unique historical scenes are deeply loved by the vast number of students and tourists, making it a renowned "modern historical and cultural tourism destination" throughout the country.

Now you only need to pay 40 yuan for a ticket to enter Chongqing Liangjiang Film and Television City and enjoy the daily life of Chongqing 1942. Nowadays, there are also many interactive activities for tourists here, which not only recreate the Republican style of Chongqing at that time, but also allow tourists to participate. It is a good place for weekend leisure and entertainment in Chongqing, Sichuan and surrounding areas. Next, come with me and take a look!

After checking the ticket at the entrance, don't rush into the scenic area. First, find the "Houze Garment Bureau" dressing point next to the tourist center for free dressing. Important thing to say three times: the first thing to do before entering the scenic area is to change clothes! Dress up! Dress up!

There are a large number of Republican costumes in the dressing room, including cheongsam, long sleeved shirts, jackets, as well as Kuomintang uniforms, military caps, etc. Choose one that you like, put it on, and look in the mirror. Do you feel a little changed?

TIPS：

I recommend you to change your military uniform and wear a military cap, you look very handsome!

Student clothing is also very popular, and girls can choose checkered cheongsams, which have a sense of age.

The first thing we saw was the Memorial Monument. Its shape is the same as the Monument to the people's Liberation in Yuzhong District. It carries our nostalgia for the martyrs and symbolizes the righteous spirit and iron blood of the Chinese nation. At the same time, it is also the core landmark of the Republic of China Street Scenic Area.

A band performed live under the plane in the square, attracting many tourists to stop and watch.

Put on your military uniform and sit on a rickshaw - experience the feeling of a movie star:)

I see many families bringing their elderly to visit the scenic area, and I believe that such "parent-child" activities can make more elderly people reminisce about their past lives, make their families more harmonious, and have a better life~!

What kind of 1942 should we wait for when we walk into the scenic area?

Guests upstairs, guests downstairs, listen to my boss negotiate

Out of the box! Out of the box! "- With each shout, we were instantly transported back to a distant era. The buildings in these movies seemed familiar, and looking at the tourists walking towards us gave us a feeling of time travel——

There are also "Dangdang" and electric scooters in the scenic area, which can be taken if you don't want to walk too far.

During wartime, the capital was bustling with newsboys running through the streets, sliding poles up and down, and old tea houses bustling with people.....

These fragments of memories gradually connect in our minds, and the curtain of memories is thus lifted.

The first stop was the Camera Sewing Machine Museum. This is the treasure of the film and television city, and it is also a scenic spot that I highly recommend.

The Jiahe Classical Camera Museum is the museum with the largest collection of classical cameras in China.

The museum is divided into three floors, covering an area of 400 square meters, and houses thousands of classical cameras from China and abroad, gathering cameras from different eras, countries, and performances.

These classical cameras are the culmination of mechanical, optical, and material science from various countries around the world. Some of the precious classical cameras are considered rare in the world, and many foreign experts have come to see their true selves.

Inside the museum, there are countless miniature cameras, transmitters, sewing machines used by spies in spy war films, as well as various old cameras collected from various countries. Many of these treasures are rare and worth carefully examining.

During the Republic of China period, there were many photo studios in Chongqing, the most famous of which was the Pei Du Photography Studio.

The camera that we often see in movies emits smoke, and the photographer covers their head, making it impossible to see people. The image is still upside down, which is very interesting.

Appreciating slowly in the Jiahe Museum is truly a feast for the eyes, it's not a waste of this trip!

The actors in the film and television city performed authentically, and some tourists who enjoyed performing also spontaneously participated, making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake, and the scene was really funny.

There are some rickshaw pullers in the film and television city, they are like directors, teaching you how to match props and pose for action, and what they produce is definitely a time travel blockbuster:)

Many scenes in the film and television city are familiar to old Chongqing residents, such as rice shops, cigarette shops, clothing shops, liquor shops, law firms, and so on.

The eighteen staircases are well-known to everyone. Looking back, several student girls ran down the slope, as if the scene had reappeared.

Watching the graceful qipao women climb up the steps and the leaves gently fall with the wind, at that moment, there was an inexplicable sadness.......

After meals, you can take a walk at Chaotianmen Pier to digest your food. By the Gaodong River, the gentle breeze brushes my face, the ripples of light ripple, and the boat's shadow sways, leaving me feeling refreshed and invigorated. Climbing up the stairs, Chaotianmen Pier no longer has its former glory. Craftsmen can be seen everywhere in the scenic area, still sticking to their persistence. These handicrafts are definitely excellent souvenirs and collectibles to take home.

For the Republic of China Street built in conjunction with the movie "1942", film and television shooting is also one of the essential experiences for many tourists visiting the scenic area.

One of the check-in spots on Republic Street, the Film and Television Experience Hall, is also a place where many war movies have been filmed, where you can experience many scenes from movies. At the film and television experience center, not only can you see spy and street fighting scenes that often appear in movies and TV dramas, but you can also participate in micro movie shooting, costume and prop experiences, and more, giving you a perfect experience of film and television cultural characteristics.

Seeing the chaos of Hanyang Iron Works, including tanks, bunkers, machine guns Does it make people realize the cruelty of war?

Strolling through department stores and then entering the 'prison', experiencing the confinement and terror of the prison, these experiences are unprecedented for you.

This is a presidential palace built in a ratio of 1:0.6, which is also my personal favorite place.

A photo exhibition of old Chongqing is currently being held inside the Presidential Palace. The scenic area has specially selected more than 200 historical photos of old Chongqing from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China to the Anti Japanese War period. Each old photo is engraved with the imprint left by history on the city of Chongqing. Through the people, scenery, customs, and life recorded in the photos, tourists can see the real scene of old Chongqing and feel the strong urban fireworks atmosphere of Chongqing a hundred years ago through these images.

In addition, during the National Day holiday, Liangjiang Film and Television City will also hold an exhibition of old paintings and books titled "Searching for Remnants of Old Books" at the Life Bookstore in the scenic area, as well as a retro typewriter installation art exhibition at the Xinhua Daily branch to share historical memories with tourists.

In 2018, the 40 episode TV series "Chongqing Negotiation" with a major revolutionary historical theme premiered at Liangjiang Film and Television City. The film tells the story of Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other Communist Party leaders who went to Chongqing to negotiate peace with the Nationalist government for the future of the country and the nation after the victory of the Anti Japanese War in 1945.

Du Mansion was one of the important interior filming locations during the filming of "Chongqing Negotiations" at that time. Therefore, Liangjiang Film and Television City restored the filming scenes at that time, hoping to express the best tribute and commemoration to the Chinese revolution and the leaders of the Communist Party of China through these filming scenes.

The wax museum across from Du Mansion is definitely worth checking in.

The various realistic wax figures in the wax museum showcase familiar celebrities, stars, and the living environment of old Chongqing.

The wax museum has strong interactivity, and a few of us friends had a great time playing inside:)

The Two Rivers Film and Television City, built after Feng Xiaogang directed "1942", has welcomed the filming of over a hundred film and television works such as "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", "Chongqing Negotiations", and "Cairo Declaration" since "1942". During this year's National Day holiday, the Two Rivers Film and Television City has transformed the Red Chamber in the scenic area into a large-scale exhibition hall for film and television props, where a large number of props will be exhibited. Through these props, the mysteries of light and shadow will be revealed to the world one by one.

Located at the former site of Xinhua Daily on Baixiang Street, many movies have been filmed here.

The prototype of Xinhua Daily News Agency is the former site of Chongqing Xinhua Daily Business Department, located at 240 Minsheng Road. The replica was completed in 2012 at a ratio of 1:0.8.

Not far away is my favorite Rongchang Church.

Rongchang Church is very famous and has appeared in the movie '1942'.

Later, the film and television studio also restored it in a 1:0.8 ratio, making it a place for many couples to take wedding photos and photo albums.

Today, a group of children are holding a mooncake making activity here.

The children dressed in Hanfu are very serious, making Mid Autumn Festival mooncakes with the guidance of teachers and parents.

There are also many Chongqing snacks in the film and television city, such as tofu pudding rice, Dandan noodles, Meiling potatoes, single meat cakes, crystal cold cakes, ice noodles, fat sausage noodles, bowl chicken, etc. Chongqing's old restaurants also offer home cooked dishes, such as braised white meat, salt fried meat, Twice cooked pork, Mapo tofu, and so on. They are all very delicious, and you can "have a tooth sacrifice".

The Empress's Dance Hall staged an ultimate Republic of China style song and dance show, with skirt dances, smoke pole dances, jazz dances, and more staged in rotation, allowing visitors to experience and feel the fashionable art of the past.

Here, you can feel the passionate gatherings and nightlife of fashionable men and women back then.

If you don't have enough fun in the dance hall, you can go to the Guotai Theater here to watch the performance.

The "Song of the Yangtze River" created by the national inheritor of Chuanjiang Haozi vividly reproduces the life of Yangtze River boatmen, which is very shocking.

There were also exciting acrobatic performances that left people dazzled, and the magician's superb skills also convinced the audience.

At the Tongue and Mouth Leisure Hall, you can enjoy the unique Sichuan Opera storytelling, including stand up comedy, storytelling, paired up comedy, Kuaiban, and double reed. You can taste Sichuan dialect, listen to Sichuan opera, and experience the charm of traditional folk art.

The street singing of vicissitudes and deep affection brings us into the artistic conception of the song.

If you're tired from strolling, you can also find a teahouse, brew a pot of tea, brush your phone, or half close your eyes and take a nap under the shade of a tree. With a cup of tea, a table, and a few friends, you can spend a pleasant rest time here......

If you feel that you haven't had enough fun, you can stay at a hotel in the scenic area after dinner, experience the cultural heritage of a specific historical period more deeply, and experience the nightlife of the film and television city.

I'm leaving the film and television city and I want to find some souvenirs to bring home. There are many unique gifts for sale in the film and television city, beautifully packaged and perfect as souvenirs. In addition to handicrafts, there are also many small items on roadside stalls that can be used as souvenirs.

It is reported that the Mid Autumn Festival and National Day are approaching, and the eight day long holiday is coming. Chongqing Liangjiang Film and Television City has another "big move": the "Third Golden Autumn Tourism Festival of Liangjiang Film and Television City" will officially start on National Day. In addition to the exciting indoor venue performances, the most distinctive experience project of Liangjiang Film and Television City - street live performances will also be more diverse. More than 20 programs, including excerpts from Yue Opera, dock drama Chuanjiang Haozi, Chuandong Wedding Customs Parade, Eighteen Ladder Film and Television Scene Drama, Women's Folk Music Performance, Victory Parade of the Anti Japanese War, and "Chongqing Negotiation" Film and Television Scene Drama, will leave you dazzled.
