Where Can I Watch The Forbidden Flower

[Giuseppina Worster]

Iwas wondering where The Forbidden Flower was shot. They are on an island with seemingly tropical climate, sandy beaches, beautiful flowers, and lush greens.

After some digging, the location is Wanning, Hainan, which is an island on the southern tip of China. If you've heard or know where Sanya is, Wanning is 2 hours away, about 80 miles northeast.

AvenueX only said it was on "southernmost island" Hainan- not a precise location, like WANNING, Hainan, which Sakie found, presumably from the same c-ent article that I also read. AvenueX also only used two pictures from the drama and no map to illustrate her statement.

But there was not a thing in her review about the other locations or if they were pieced together in studio (where? In the relatively new Haikou Movie Town?) from pictures and small "travelogue" style shots, notably the Qiang village. Or Xijing university (there is one by that name in Xi'an, btw (but I am only familiar with Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Wuxi campuses -some shots reminded me vaguely of the latter, but then, many campuses look alike and besides, there can be changes to those campuses, new buildings, old ones torn down etc: over the years the places can modify, esp. in China. )
