Located in the northern suburb of the city, Henan Province, Jiaozuo Film and Television City is the largest in architectural scale among the many movie cities in China. It is constructed along the mountain. Composed of the square near the city gate, the Palace of Zhou Dynasty (770BC–221BC) area, the Palace of Chu State area and Shijing (the ancient market place), its majestic, elegant and classic appearance attracts many visitors from home and abroad each year.

The main gate of the Film and Television City is uniquely shaped into an ancient coin. Walk into the square near the city gate, and you will see a huge embossed work which depicts an ancient copper cooking vessel, with the King of Zhou Dynasty who moved the capital eastward, and the Emperor Qin Shi Huang who unified the states.

The Palace of Zhou Dynasty area covers 2.8 hectares, which mainly include the Palace of Zhou, the film studio, and Lingtai where emperors used to worship Heaven and held important meetings. The delicate and beautiful Palace of Chu fully reflects the rich  cultural background of that period. The ancient battle field reminds visitors of the raging flames of historical battles. Shijing is the market place where many shops and merchants were gathered. What is more unique is that in this city, visitors are privileged to see how the common people produced and made a living in the Spring and Autumn Period (770BC-476BC) by the replication of cottages, mud walls and workshops which are presented here. You will feel as if you have returned to the mysterious old times.

Since opening to the public, this Film and Television City has attracted many directors to make outstanding films here. When you visit, you may be lucky enough to see a film being made or even be invited to be an extra.
