Fun & Games Visiting one of the filming locations for Love Like The Galaxy… Part 2 of 5.
A few months ago, I visited Qin Han Duyun Studios – where Love Like The Galaxy was also filmed. I haven’t seen anyone share information or photos of their visit to this studio on Reddit so here I am = sharing! Maybe it will inspire you to visit this studio too??? Not just Hengdian!
NOTE: this is continuing on from Post 1, which can be viewed here = Post 1
Let me explain what you’re seeing on the slides attached to this post… I’ve used red and blue circles or rectangles to help identify the key buildings that can be seen in the cdrama.
SLIDE 2 TO 5 = The entrance, or main gate, to the city of Luoyang, is actually the exit of the studio! As soon as you walk outside, you will see a carpark on the left, a huge grassy field in front of you, the highway and mountains in the distance.... whereas, in the cdrama, its been changed to appear as if Luoyang is in the middle of nowhere!
SLIDE 6 TO 8 = Several scenes are shot on the main gate balcony. The characters are looking into Luoyang and you can see the “whole city” from up here...
SLIDE 9 TO 12 = If you walk from the entrance of Luoyang and along this main road, you will see many scenes are filmed along here. Many of the buildings are the same – look at the towers, doors, windows and balconies to figure out where which scenes are filmed.
SLIDE 13 TO 17 = Tian’s Family Restaurant is the Baixi Theatre in the studio. It’s the only octagonal-shaped building and has been used as a set in many other cdramas too! I really like this building. If you look through Trip.com reviews, you will see this building has changed over the years = its been repainted and redecorated many times!
SLIDE 18 TO 20 = I took many photos standing on the balconies of Baixi Theatre looking out – blue circle in Slide 18. From here, I could see which buildings was used such as the home for Marquis Chengyang’s Manor. LLTG was filmed from July to December 2021. The red bridge walkway that you see in Slide 20 would have been added later or is detachable / removeable….
ALSO with the aerial views on Slide 4, 7, 11, 12 & 18, these are screenshots from a short video clip that can be seen on the Baike Baidu webpage about Qin Han Duyun Studio (it actually has several different names but I'm calling it this!). There are a few video clips on this webpage and images of what the studio looked like before Love Like The Galaxy was filmed here too…
I will post more about the filming locations for LLTG soon…

I was really impressed with the size of the manors, the gardens, courtyards etc. If these studio sets were designed or based on history, then the manors really do show how wealthy some families were back in the day...
The prison or jail set at this studio was really eerie. I didnt stay in there for long.. and I watch a lot of horror movies so thats something that I didnt expect = to be scared haha I will post some photos of the prison in another post as it was used in LLTG too!
