Without tourists, the film and television scenic spot has become an ancient ghost town, as desolate as Silent Hill.

Compared with the scenic spots with unique natural scenery or popular theme amusement facilities, the film and television theme scenic spots created by Chinese people are one of the most vulnerable to rapid decline and extinction. Once the popularity of this film and television drama is gone, there will be no tourists to spend and play. Within a few years, this film and television base scenic spot will become a ghost town and finally be razed to the ground. This kind of story is constantly staged in China.

At the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, Panzhihua, not far from Lugu Lake, once had an amazing primitive tribal film and television scenic spot, located in Guezala, a picturesque Yi inhabited area, named "Taikoo Shing". Nowadays, the name of this scenic spot has been completely forgotten, and the original tribal movies and TV dramas are no longer popular. It has become an "outdated" scenic spot, and few tourists can come in a year, even security guards can't afford it. Finally, this magnificent ancient tribal scenic spot was razed to the ground, and the huge investment in the early stage was wiped out.

I've seen too many scenic spots recently and suddenly thought of it here. This is a "lost ancient city". Only a few years after I took these photos, I searched the latest satellite map and found that this once glorious ancient city with original scenic spots has disappeared from the earth this year. And three years ago, I walked in this empty ancient city and felt the feeling of being abandoned by human beings.

In fact, the location of the film and television photography base is very particular, and the architectural landscape will definitely choose a good place with first-class scenery. Guezala, where this abandoned ancient city is located, is a paradise in the mountains. The word "Guezala", explained in Yi language, means "a beautiful paradise where man and nature live in harmony". For a long time, because of traffic congestion, it is rarely developed and understood by outsiders.

The landscape of the huge buildings here, its most glorious period, has remained in the film and television works. After being abandoned, the forces of time and nature have smoothed everything here. After several years of wind and sun, it has become extremely vicissitudes, as if it had been a hundred years.

The site of this ancient city scenic spot is about 3 kilometers away from the entrance of Guezala scenic spot in Panzhihua, which is close to Yanyuan County in Sichuan. I am particularly interested in this special building, because I saw it from a distance on the way to Guezala scenic spot, so I went to visit it on foot, walked through the wide valley grassland and walked into the ancient city. Later, I learned the story of this "lost city" by looking up information.

As early as 10 years ago, there was a TV series called Ancient Legends. In order to shoot this drama, a huge film and television base was built deep in the mountains, which is "Tai Koo Shing". This is a large-scale antique village (an ancient village with the level of film and television drama design). The scale of the buildings in China is absolutely enormous. This TV series is directed by Chia Wei Woo and starring,,, and. It premiered on CCTV- 1 0 from August 20th to September 20th10. However, judging from the current film reviews, the quality of content and production is actually not high.

Inquired about the poster of this TV series, and there is an intriguing sentence on the poster: "(This drama) has invested heavily in original ecological production, which no one has done before and no one dares to do in the future." This remark is really "word for word", and the film and television drama leaves behind "a chicken feather in one place", which is not of great benefit to local folk customs and tourism development.

The costume drama with the theme of costume has poor ratings and word of mouth. Once wanted to develop into a theme scenic spot, it closed down and abandoned in a few years. Where no one takes care of it, the house begins to decline immediately. These photos were taken on 20 16.

About the eighth year after its completion, everyone in this ancient city's film and television scenic spot has no hope of recovery. It was completely demolished and became a ruin. Only the pyramid abutment in the middle of the ancient village remains. Comparing the satellite images of today and previous years, we can find the splendor and desolation of this huge ancient village scenic spot.

People who go there now can't imagine that there used to be a picturesque scenic spot covering an area of more than 80 acres in this valley. There used to be 30 pyramid-shaped thatched houses, 800-meter-long city walls and huge altar buildings. "Tai Koo Shing" can only be circulated in film and television works and these photos and videos.

This is a story that witnessed the demise of a Chinese-style film and television theme scenic spot. I just hope that the fewer such stories, the better. But in fact, this kind of story is often staged in many places, especially in poor areas of China, among which the deep-seated story is more intriguing, and the approval and rectification of inferior scenic spots have a long way to go.
