The exciting military parade for celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China last year is still fresh in the mind. Anyway, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are around the corner. For this super-long eight-day holiday, Liangjiang International Film City is preparing for a big plan – Liangjiang International Film City Third Golden Autumn Tourism Festival to be officially opened during this National Day.
Liangjiang International Film City is ready for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day Holiday
Since the reopening in April this year, Liangjiang International Film City has been busy preparing to build new venues to enrich scenic content and enhance tourist stickiness. The five venues with different themes built by Liangjiang International Film City will be open to tourists in the upcoming National Day, providing tourists with richer tour scenarios and travel modes with more historical feelings.
After nearly half a year's effort, Liangjiang International Film City has turned the famous Kuomintang Government Building in the scenic area into an art exhibition hall, the venue for the photo exhibition of old Chongqing during this National Day.

More than 200 photos of Chongqing from the Late Qing Dynasty to the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (the War of Resistance) period have been selected. Each one is a historical mark of the city. Visitors can imagine the scenes and feel the earthly life of the city a hundred years ago through the people, scenery, folklore, and life in photos.

In 2018, the 40-episode major revolutionary history TV series Chongqing Negotiations started filming in Liangjiang International Film City. It recounts the history of the CPC leaders such as Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai who went to Chongqing for peace talks with the Kuomintang government for the future of the country and the nation after the victory of the War of Resistance in 1945. Du Yuesheng Mansion was one of the important interior shooting locations for the filming. Thus Liangjiang International Film City restored the filming scenes to pay tribute to and commemorate the Chinese revolution and the CPC revolutionary leaders.

Liangjiang International Film City was built for Feng Xiaogang's film Back to 1942 and has since been used as a filming location for more than 100 films and TV shows, including The Founding of A Republic, Chongqing Negotiations, and Cairo Declaration. Liangjiang International Film City has built the Honglou in the scenic area into a large film and television prop exhibition hall for displaying props during this National Day, so as to allow visitors to explore the mystery of light and shadow.
