Chinese locations

Aside from using Chinese elements in films, many Hollywood films were literally filmed in China.

Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible: III chose the metropolis Shanghai as one of its filming locations. The mountains in James Cameron's Avatar were based on the Yellow Mountain in Central China's Anhui province. The film The Painted Veil, starring Edward Norton and Naomi Watts was filmed in China's Beijing, Shanghai and Guangxi province. Angelina Jolie fought battles against a background of terracota warriors in Lara Croft Tomb Raider:The Cradle of Life. China's delicate, somewhat mysterious and rich history of culture was also shown in the film Countess, which was shot partially in the old towns of Shanghai.
