The full name is Zhenbeibao Western Film Studio, located 35 kilometers from Yinchuan City. It was built on the basis of the original ancient fortress. Some of China's film industry superstars, such as Gong Li, Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou, Stephen Chow, and Donnie Yen, have left their footprints here.
Yinchuan is located in the northwest frontier of the motherland. During the Ming Dynasty, Mongolian Tatars and Oirats often entered the Chimu Pass of Helan Mountain (now Sanguan) from the Alxa Plateau in Inner Mongolia, directly reaching the plains. To maintain border security, the Ming Emperor specially built the Great Wall (referred to as the border wall in the Ming Dynasty) at Sanguan, making it one of the 'Four Dangers' of ancient Yinchuan.
