Located in Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, the Changchun Film Theme Park is the first park of its kind in China that integrates film entertainment and tourism. It was designed after Hollywood's Universal Studios and Disney World in the US.
Built in 2003, the park covers an area of 1 million square meters (100 hectares). It features a film technology exhibition, Chinese-and-western-style architecture, an ethnic group scenic area and entertainment area. Visitors may enjoy 4D movies in the luxury theaters, observe the film-shooting process, take rides to experience filming history, meet their favorite film stars and even get involved in film shooting.
