Zhongshan Studio City

Step into the life of Sun Yat-sen at Zhongshan Movie Town, where historic Chinese streets, international film sets and immersive experiences bring his remarkable journey to life.

Zhongshan Studio City is also known as CCTV Zhongshan Film and Television City. The attraction was originally developed for the television series Sun Yat-sen and opened to visitors in 2001.

Since opening, the complex has served as a filming location for hundreds of productions, including Sun Yat-sen , Xian Xinghai and The Great Migration to Nanyang .

The place forms part of the larger Sun Yat-sen Hometown Tourism Area. Unlike conventional film studios such as 1978 Movie Town in Guangzhou, Zhongshan Movie Town was designed around the life and travels of Sun Yat-sen (1866–1925), who was born in nearby Cuiheng Village. If you seek to learn more about the life of this important character of Chinese modern History, his former residence which nowadays is a museum is the best place to go.

Film Sets

The studios include architectural references to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing and overseas locations associated with his activities.
