As a travel enthusiast who loves following celebrities and dramas, this weekend I drove with Mia from Wenzhou to Hengdian to experience the "Eastern Hollywood" with my child! Traveling from the Song Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, then stepping into old Shanghai 🎥 to experience different periods of China, and even acting with NPCs to earn "film pay"! Come join me 🐛~

Day 1: 【Along the River During the Qingming Festival】
🚆 Transportation: High-speed train to Hengdian Station → 15-minute taxi ride

▫️ Halloween Parade: 9 large formations parade, 200+ NPC interactions, you can reserve a spot near "Rainbow Bridge" in advance, the best place to shoot atmospheric videos.
