Highlights
- 象山影视城是位于浙江省宁波市象山县新桥镇的一处影视基地，位于大塘港生态旅游区境内，于2005年1月10日启用，最初为拍摄张纪中电视剧《神雕侠侣》依照宋代风格建设，此后亦拍摄了《赵氏孤儿》、《盖世英雄曹操》、《王的盛宴》等多部影视作品。2006年被评为“中国十大影视基地”。2012年评为国家4A级旅游景区。截至2020年底，已建成的功能区包括江湖小镇、玄幻世界、星梦工场、武侠天地、唐城、民国城，目前拥有摄影棚35万平方米。
- Combine it with nearby Zhejiang sights for a full day out — Ningbo is the natural base for hotels and transport.
- English signage is partial; a translated map or an audio guide makes the visit much easier.

What to know
Getting there
Most visitors base themselves in Ningbo and visit on a half-day or full-day trip. Use the Chinese name (象山影视城) in a taxi app — drivers rarely read English.
Insider tips
- Avoid the first three days of the October Golden Week and the Spring Festival rush if you value quiet.
- Carry your passport — many ticketed sites in Zhejiang require real-name booking for foreigners.
Where to stay
Book a hotel near the Ningbo rail station for easy onward travel; expect ¥280–750/night for a comfortable double.
