These works are imbued with the authentic flavor of the countryside and the rugged, unrestrained style unique to the black soil.
The core project of Changchun Cinema - Movie World covers an area of 20,000 square meters. It adopts a hyperbolic frame structure that is rare in China, and stands charmingly in the center and front of the cinema.
The green and flat grass supports the elegant and unique shape. Its appearance is like a flipping film, majestic yet gentle and harmonious.
But its real charm lies not in its appearance, but in its "six palaces and one store", namely the Movie Adventure Palace, the Movie History Museum, the Movie Recording Museum, the Movie Live Performance Hall, the Movie Stunt Hall, the Movie Space Museum and the Jade Kylin Hotel.
