In recent years, the districts in Hangzhou have been committed to building film & TV bases to develop the high-quality film & TV industry.

Due to its beautiful countryside, Tonglu County has become the shooting location of popular TV series, such as Sixi, Sunrise On The River, and Just In Time. As the live-action location, Jiande County is favored by short play, online series, and TV play crews. Yuhang District, Linping District, and Lin'an District are building the film & TV bases to develop the full-chain film & TV industry. This is inseparable from the support of the government. Hangzhou provides special funds and tax incentives.

The president of the Communication University of Zhejiang noted, "In order to optimize and expand the film & TV industry, it is required to consider the content and production. Each region shall magnify the highlights, achieving resource complementarity and dislocation development."
