Nestled off the northeastern coast of Zhejiang Province, the Zhoushan Archipelago is a mesmerizing blend of timeless fishing villages, sacred Buddhist sites, and breathtaking coastal landscapes. From the legendary Mount Putuo—one of China’s four sacred Buddhist mountains—to the vibrant fishing port of Shengsi and the untouched beaches of Zhujiajian, this region offers filmmakers and photographers a world of visual storytelling possibilities.
However, organizing a shoot across multiple islands—with their unique logistical challenges, language barriers, and complex permit requirements—can be daunting for foreign crews.
At Pixel Productions China, we specialize in helping international teams navigate Zhoushan’s distinctive environment, providing end-to-end support so you can focus on capturing its beauty and spirit.
