The Old City of Dunhuang is also called Dunhuang Film City, resembling Shazhou City of Song Dynasty. A preparation for Sino-Japan's co-filming of Dunhuang, the city was modeled after Shazhou City and the long painting scroll Going Up the River at Qingming Festival. In the city, tourists can still find the imitations of ancient constructions, such as Dunhuang governor's apartment, temples, stores, shops, hotels, restaurants, residential houses and so on. It is another historical interest and filming base in Dunhuang. Over 10 films and TV plays have been produced in the Old City of Dunhuang, which include Dunhuang and Fengshenbang.
