I just went to Bailuyuan Film and Television City in the past two days. To be honest, there are many places for cultural and economic performances. The choice to go there is nothing more than my appreciation for Bailuyuan in literature. A bit of stubborn yearning. Chen Zhongshi wrote "Bailuyuan", and Lantian County had a Bailuyuan Film and Television City. Chen Zhongshi did not speak out in Bailuyuan, but in Xijiang Village, Baqiao District, Xi'an, ten kilometers away. But this is not important. It is definitely a good thing that a literary work can lead to the birth of a movie theater. Culture and business are rationally integrated in this way.
The popularity of "White Deer Plain" has attracted tourists to the film and television city. I know that most people come here out of curiosity and may not have read the original novel by Mr. Chen Zhongshi. At the south gate of the film and television city, there is a residential house with a strong Shaanxi Guanzhong style: the house is built on both sides, with the name Chen Zhongshi’s former residence written on it. I bought a copy of the original book "White Deer Plain" stamped with Mr. Chen's seal. Some people began to question: Has Chen Zhongshi lived here? In fact, this is not important. What is important is that there is a house like this to commemorate Mr. Chen. It definitely shows our emphasis and respect for literature.
In recent years, Shaanxi has also built many new tourist attractions. Scenic spots such as Yuanjia Village that not only showcase Shaanxi folk customs but also offer food, drink and entertainment are already blooming everywhere. While this improves local tourism culture and provides convenience for everyone's leisure travel, it also triggers people's thinking about the "homogenization" of many tourist attractions.
After passing through the former residence of Mr. Chen Zhongshi, you can choose three ways to visit: walking, tour bus or sightseeing escalator. Since I had planned my route in advance, I directly chose to take the sightseeing escalator, which is also the highest sightseeing escalator in Asia. You can see half of the film and television city from the escalator. Passing through the archway, you can see the introduction of Bailu Village and the village entrance. At the entrance of Bailu Village, there is a Bailuyuan folk noodle shop. The noodles here are pressed out by machines and taste very strong. Many tourists will stop here to rest.
There is a food area in Bailuyuan Film and Television City, which spans several streets and is densely packed with restaurants with flavors from all over the east, west, north, and south. Here, in addition to Shaanxi-specific delicacies, there are also many snacks from other parts of the country for tourists to taste. When I saw the "Guangdong rice rolls" sign in the film and television city, a sense of intimacy arose spontaneously. The most important thing is that there is not only a lot of food here, but the price is not too high.
Out of Zishui County, there is the largest live-action drama "Two Tigers Guarding Chang'an" in Bailuyuan. It only costs 50 yuan per person to watch the spectacular infrared Guanzhong American drama! As for other highlights of the film and television city, they are basically operated in a commercial model. In addition to the village, a large area has been developed into a snack street, offering all kinds of Guanzhong delicacies.
Thanks!
