1942 Street

1942 Street, which was first opened by the Film Commune, is very popular among tourists. In the current street, businesses such as catering, performance-style shooting, tourist souvenirs, theme hotels, and cultural exhibitions have been opened. While tourists can appreciate the architectural style of the Republic of China, they can also experience high-quality services in various aspects such as food, accommodation, shopping, and entertainment. In addition, new facilities and services are constantly being added to 1942 Street, including the Rongguang Cinema, which will screen the Lunar New Year film collection "Eighteen Years of Sadness and Joy" edited by director Feng Xiaogang specially for the Film Society, as well as the Ancient Coin Museum and the Gold Coin Museum. 1942 Republic of China Street is based on the Chongqing street that appeared in Feng Xiaogang's movie "1942". The 91 buildings combine the typical architectural styles of Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanjing, Shanghai and other places in the four major cities in the Yangtze River Basin in the 1930s and 1940s.

Socialist Old Beijing Street

There are shadows of Feng’s film "Tangshan Earthquake". It uses the architecture of the 1950s and 1960s after the founding of New China as the main style element of the planning.

On the morning of December 22, 2015, the "Feng Xiaogang Film Commune Nanyang Street" with Nanyang style opened.

Nanyang Street is the second characteristic street completed by Mission Hills Huayi Feng Xiaogang Film Commune.
