## About Tianlong Babu Film and Television City

Backed by Cangshan Mountain and facing Erhai Lake to the east, the Film and Television City is the filming base for the TV series Tianlong Babu (Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils). Its architecture is modelled on the painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” and consists of three major zones: the palaces of the Dali Kingdom, the Liao and Western Xia kingdoms, and a Jurchen tribal area. Built as a large-scale production base for Tianlong Babu, it has also been used as a location for other productions, including Tea Horse Road, Legend of Yin Shang, Princess of Dali, Ten Perfect Girls and The Four Great Constables of Youth.
