Xiangshan Film and Television City Development Co. (象山影视城开发有限公司) operates a large-scale integrated film production base and theme park in Xiangshan County, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China.

The visitor mix spans individual tourists, families, educational groups, and packaged tour operators, while the customer side on the production leg consists of professional film and television production companies.

Direct peers

• Shanghai Film Park (Chedun): Shanghai-based film studio and tourist attraction featuring recreated 1930s Shanghai streetscapes used extensively for film/TV production. Operates the same dual-revenue model of B2B filming location services plus B2C tourism, serving as a regional peer in the Yangtze River Delta alongside Xiangshan.
• Huairou Film and Television Industry Park (Beijing): Beijing-area film and television production base providing studio facilities and production services to China's capital-based production companies. Regional peer competing for the same B2B production clients with proximity advantages to Beijing's media ecosystem.
• Wuxi Three Kingdoms City & Water Margin City: Wuxi-based historical film/TV production base themed around the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin classics, combining live performances and theme park operations with film production services. Direct competitor for Chinese historical drama production bookings in the Yangtze River Delta region.
• Hengdian World Studios: China's largest and most dominant film production base and theme park, operating multiple themed cities (Qin Dynasty, Ming & Qing Palaces, Guangzhou Street, etc.) that serve both as professional filming locations and tourist destinations. The closest and most scaled direct competitor to Xiangshan Film and Television City in the dual film-base/theme-park model.

Broad incumbents

• Songcheng Performance Development: Publicly listed Chinese company operating multiple large-scale themed live performance attractions (e.g., Romance of the Song Dynasty,千古情 series) with a model centered on immersive cultural performances rather than film production. Comparable in the theme park + live entertainment business model but broader and more established.
• OCT Group (Overseas Chinese Town): China's largest state-owned theme park operator running multiple national parks including Window of the World, Splendid China, and Happy Valley. Broad incumbent in Chinese cultural tourism with diversified theme park portfolio that overlaps with Xiangshan's tourist attraction operations but lacks the film production base focus.
• Fantawild (Fangte) Animation / Theme Parks: Major Chinese theme park operator combining proprietary animation IP with theme parks (Fantawild Adventure, Dreamland) across China. Adjacent comparable for theme park operations and live entertainment monetization, though focused on original animated IP rather than historical film sets.

Regional players

• Hainan Film City (Hainan Sanya): Sanya-based film production base and tropical-themed tourist attraction serving China's southern production market. Comparable business model (film base + theme park) but operates in a different geography with tropical tourism seasonality rather than Xiangshan's Yangtze River Delta regional appeal.
