About this audio guide
This guide to Shanghai Film Park traces the backlot to the mid-1990s, when director Chen Kaige needed a version of 1920s Shanghai that no longer existed and built one from scratch in the fields of Songjiang for his film Temptress Moon. It follows how the set outlived that production, drawing later filmmakers including Ang Lee and James Ivory, and even a Hollywood crew shooting a Mummy sequel. Listen for the replica of the Waibaidu Bridge and the old department store fronts along the street they call Nanjing Road here.
