Tips

culture
The 横店影视城 (Hengdian World Studios) has full-size sets of Qin palaces, a copy of the Forbidden City and Republican-era streets, so a large share of China's period dramas are filmed there and it is nicknamed 'China's Hollywood'. Would-be actors who drift there for work as extras are called 横漂, after 北漂, those who drift to Beijing.
