According to online platform data as of March 16, the film "Ne Zha 2", with a cumulative box office (including pre-sales) of more than RMB 15.1 billion, ranked among the top five in the global box office rankings!
The movie's breathtaking beauty and secret places, hidden in traditional Chinese culture, are even more fascinating in real life, so let's come together to meet the magical movie stops!
Immortal Cultivation Center of Taiyi Zhenzhen
Jiangyou, Sichuan
Qianyuan Mountain in Jiangyou, Mianyang, Sichuan Province, is often misty, and the legend of Nezha picking out bones and returning flesh is still told by villagers.
In the movie, the place where Taiyi Zhenren cultivates and ascends is from the Jinguang Cave in Qianyuan Mountain. According to legend, it was here that Ne Zha's body was rebuilt. The movie's creators were able to verify this by having Taiyi speak standard Sichuan dialect.
At present, the cave still retains statues of Taiyi Zhenren, Ne Zha, Sanqing daozu, and other Taoist religions.
Nezha Palace on Cuiping Mountain in Yibin is said to be the place where Ne Zha manifested his immortality.
There is a legend that after Ne Zha lost his physical body, his soul had nothing to rely on and he found his master, Taiyi Zhenren. Taiyi Zhenren used his magic to help Ne Zha send a dream to Mrs. Yin, asking her to go to Cuiping Mountain to build a palace to remake Ne Zha's body.
Stunning Wonderland of Chentangguan
Guilin, Guangxi
In the movie "Ne Zha 2", Ne Zha's hometown, Chentangguan, serves as the main location of the story and witnesses Ne Zha's growth and changes.
Chentangguan scenery is full of fantastical color, designed with reference to the landscape of Guilin, Guangxi.
It is reported that the modeling animator spent more than two months to complete the "Karst landscape mountains," "Longsheng Longji Terraces," "Li River basin," and other elements.
Highlights of Heritage Relics
Barrier Beasts with the adorable big thick eyebrows and garlic nose are inspired by the bronze heads with gold masks and large bronze masks located in the Guanghan Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan Province.
The design of Ao Guang's "Dragontooth Cutlass" is a reference to the Shang Dynasty jade knife unearthed at the Yinxu Yachang Tomb in the exhibition hall of the Yinxu Museum in Anyang, Henan Province.
Taiyi's wine pot is modeled on the whirlpoor pattern pottery double ear pot Banshan type of the Majiayao culture in the Gansu Provincial Museum.
The Tianshi Hall in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province has also become a popular place to visit because of its cool resemblance to the Yuxu Palace in "Ne Zha 2".
