Zhang Yimou will shoot his new film The City of Golden Armor at Tiankeng, a famous scenic spot in Chongqing.
A Tang dynasty inn has been built for the shoot as well as other facilities.
The shooting crew has reportedly signed an agreement with the management of the scenic spot regarding environmental protection, promising to keep the environment intact.
This has become a sensitive issue since the shooting of the film The Promise after the crew caused environmental damage to a lake in Yunnan Province, arousing public criticism.
