Hengdian World Studios (Chinese: 横店影视城; pinyin: Héngdiàn Yǐngshìchéng) is a Chinese film studio located in the town of Hengdian, Dongyang, a county-level city in eastern Jinhua, Zhejiang province. It is one of the largest outdoor film studios in the world, and is operated by the privately owned Hengdian Group founded by Xu Wenrong, who developed acres of farmland in central Zhejiang into a large filmmaking backlot in the mid-1990s. The studio is around 331 hectares (820 acres) in total area with a gross leasable area of 495,995 m2 (122.6 acres), and has been ongoing ever since with the completed addition of the replica of the Old Summer Palace called the Hengdian Yuanmingyuan. A film about extras working at the studio, I Am Somebody, was released in China in 2015.
