Why Shoot in Shanghai?
Shanghai sits at the mouth of the Yangtze River Delta, offering a strategic coastal position ideal for both logistics and stunning visuals. Spanning 6,340+ square kilometers, the city is a cinematic canvas of:
- Futuristic skyscrapers and historic colonial-era buildings (e.g., The Bund, Lujiazui)
- Vast water networks including the Huangpu River, Yangtze estuary, and scenic Dianshan Lake
- Coastal plains, urban parks, stone bridges, and ancient towns (like Qibao and Zhujiajiao)
- A highly developed transport infrastructure with high-speed rail, ports, and international airports
