Youku's side by side comparison of how the film set  meticulously recreates Zhang Zeduan's  (1085–1145)  famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival.

Amazing! Thank you!

amazing...did they build a new town?

 PeachBlossomGoddess:

Yes a huge set they can use for other Song dynasty dramas.

It's strange  that they only make 26 eps for this drama after all the hurdles for setting a new town. The least they can make is 36 eps.  Yes, I agree that they probably will use it to make other Song or Tang dynasty drama.

Thank you for sharing!
