The city attracts investors, with its advantageous position and traffic conditions.

Construction of the project's entrance area is almost finished. A number of eye-catching Hui-style buildings are already present in the film studio. One major construction there is the Chinese Millennium Avenue. Along this 2096-meter road, ten zones themed with different historical periods will be built. Typical examples include replicas of the E-Pang Palace and the Wei Yang Palace during the Han Dynasty the Daming Palace of the Tang Dynasty, and the more contemporary Tian'anmen Square and Monument of People's Heroes.

In addition to the film studio, there will also be an "animation city", a cultural heritage exhibition park and a Langya Mountain Buddhist cultural park. The project aims to take the lead in Chuzhou's cultural tourism industry and the platform linking Anhui's culture and creativity industry with that of Suzhou, Zhejiang and the Shanghai Delta area. Over 300 businesses and over 20 thousand film professionals are expected to enter this creativity park within the next three years, and it is expected to receive over three million tourists and five billion yuan income.
