Basically, how the movie was done, they took a few places and combined them using computer effect.








There were only 3 of us for the tour. When the guide asked anyone wanted to wear the coat for photos, no one of us wanted and she just put it on for Chong...and here you go...hahaha..a photo of her lying down like the movie...















Handsome horse..


The forest...




This part was funny as Chong used the Sword and point it to one of the branches..and she said that was demon...
