Hengdian, located in the neighboring Zhejiang Province, is the largest film-shooting base in Asia and is known as "East Hollywood." With its extraordinary scenery, the site has become one of the hottest tourist sites in the region south of the Yangtze River.

The shooting base will offer a quite different Christmas celebration this year, featuring spectacular buildings in European style, colorful Christmas gifts, beautiful Christmas trees and "snow-covered" wooden houses.

Walking along Queen Avenue, you may bump into "romantic weddings" at St John's Church on Hong Kong street, have a close-up look at several movie stars and get Christmas cards signed by movie stars - if you're lucky enough.

To welcome the guests, Hengdian has invited a three-meter-high Santa Claus and one-meter high dwarfs to light an enormous bonfire. As the bonfire is burning, fireworks will light up in the sky.
