Mbrella Films

Film Production Company in Guangzhou, China

Having previously been the host city of the 2010 Asian Games, Guangzhou has undergone swift modernization. Now, Guangzhou stands as an important economical, national and international transportation center as well as a famous hotspot for Cantonese cuisine. This bustling metropolis, also known as ‘Canton’, is the capital of Guangdong Province in South China and is heavily influenced by nearby Hong Kong and Macao.

Guangzhou is most likely the first city one visits when coming to China, much like Beijing or Shanghai. An important economic and historical city situated in the north of the Pearl River Delta, is widely acknowledged as a crucial trading center. It boasts a busy port that influences the entire country’s economy making it an economic pillar with offices and factories also operating locally and abroad. This has led to its status as one of the “world factories” with the production of all kinds of products in China. Additionally, Guangzhou has a new modern subway system that provides networks throughout the urban center. China’s rapid economic progress and the government’s new investments in the film industry have led to an increase in skilled and experienced crew members for visiting productions.

Top Filming Locations in Guangzhou

Film Production Company Guangzhou Locations Canton Tower
The stunning Canton Tower was briefly the tallest tower in the world and includes restaurants, observation decks, and adrenaline fuelled rides

The Canton Tower (Guangzhou Tower) is situated right at the south bank of the Pearl River, and faces Haixinsha Island to the north. Officially it’s the tallest TV tower in China and the third tallest in the world. From the top observation deck, you’ll have a birds-eye view of the entire city. Inside the tower are a host of lavished entertainment areas, romantic restaurants and several fine platforms for shooting, with some of them holding some top world records.

Clearly noted for its unique design. The designer, Mark Hemel, said he was inspired by the bones of the female hip joint. He then went on to create a slim waist in the middle of the tower and designed it as a fair lady twisting her waist while looking behind.

A more naturally serene location is Yuyin Garden which was once a private garden of a scholar after having been built in 1864. It’s known for its beautiful landscape, pavilions, bridges, rocky hills and flowers that create a dreamlike scenery perfect for an afternoon shooting. You will see a couplet at the entrance to the inner garden, a few minutes’ after having entered the main gate, describing the lovely scenery with the lines “flowers spread all around the small yard like red raindrops; trees shade every corner like green clouds”.

The island is surrounded by water, and consists of three east-west avenues – Shamian Avenue, Shamian North Avenue and the South Avenue, and five north-south streets – Shamian Street 1 to 5.
