Hit online thriller The Longest Day in Chang'an has overwhelmed audiences, not just with its gripping storyline, but through the beauty of its depiction of Chang'an - mainly because of the show's spectacular opening scene.

The replica of the ancient city, which has moved audiences with its authenticity, is a film set named the City of Tang and is located at the Xiangshan Movie and Television City in Zhejiang province. It faithfully recreates the symmetrical layout of Chang'an and demonstrates typical Tang Dynasty-style architecture.
