The ancient city originally had a name that was quite artistic, Lingdu.
Later, disliking the name for its inauspicious connotations, they changed it to a more awkward one, and people, finding it troublesome, simply called it the ancient city. The film and television city was located at the northeast edge of the ancient city.
The site of the film and television city was somewhat elevated, known as Qinglong Mountain.
Not far away, the courtyard walls rose high, with roofs featuring double eaves and restful slopes, and layer upon layer of wooden dougong, pavilions, terraces, and towers, with carved balustrades and painted rafters, indistinguishable between the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties—a classic film and television city template.
Low-budget web series are generally filmed here; they're not particularly concerned about the correctness of costume, props, and makeup—as long as it's ancient, it's good to go.
