When an entire city becomes a film set

Join CGTN's digital reporter Zhou Chaojie as she follows the trail of Myth of Love – the award-winning Shanghai-dialect film that has charmed audiences worldwide.

Beyond its wit and warmth, the romantic comedy has wowed fans with its aesthetic. Look down every alley and round every corner, and Shanghai reveals itself as a living, breathing movie set.

Old quarters give way to new skyscrapers. Silhouettes come into view, clad in linen and clean lines. Food carries the taste of everyday and everywhere. Fast or slow, everyone moves with ease.

Turns out, the real romance is with a city that bridges East and West.
