The production team of “There’s a Zhou Dongbei in Northeast China” filmed on location at the Dagu Chemical and Tanggu industrial sites, breathing new life into these industrial heritage sites as cultural and tourism attractions.
Recently, the production team of the TV series “There’s a Zhou Dongbei in Northeast China” visited the Tanggu plant of Tianjin Dagou Chemical Co., Ltd. to film on location. The weathered red-brick walls, the towering old water towers, and the vintage production facilities and office buildings provided the crew with an authentic period‑setting backdrop, while also offering this historic plant—bearing nearly a century of industrial heritage—a fresh opportunity for cultural dissemination and a reimagining of its value as light and shadow play across its surfaces.
Within the Tanggu plant complex, buildings in diverse architectural styles spanning from the 1950s to the 21st century are scattered in a layered arrangement, creating a distinctive sense of historical depth and evocative visual storytelling. According to a representative from the production team of “There’s a Zhou Dongbei in Northeast China,” after scouting locations across multiple sites, the original, unaltered industrial character of the Dagou Chemical Tanggu plant—coupled with its rich historical legacy—ultimately proved to be the decisive factor in their choice. During filming, the crew constructed sets in areas such as the plant grounds and the Hongsanjing Shopping Mall, working closely throughout the process with the company’s safety‑oversight team to ensure the shoot progressed smoothly.
Film and television production has not only injected vibrant cultural momentum into the asset disposal of the Tanggu plant but has also paved a practical path for the sustainable utilization of industrial heritage. Previously, the company’s Tanggu facility hosted the filming of popular series such as “Days of the Criminal Police” and “My Name Is Bai Xiaofei.” With these shows airing, the old factory buildings and equipment—repositories of collective memory—have been brought to audiences nationwide, vividly conveying Dagou Chemical’s industrial spirit and cultural legacy. At the same time, leveraging its advantages of complete sets of locations and efficient operations, the Tanggu plant is transforming from a “dormant asset” into a “living resource.” This collaboration has generated direct economic benefits through services like venue leasing, while also accumulating valuable experience for taking on an even broader range of film and television productions in the future.
From an “industrial rust belt” to a “cultural showcase,” the Tanggu plant is embracing film and television production as a new avenue, achieving a multifaceted integration of history, culture, and economic value. Looking ahead, as promotional efforts continue to intensify and innovative revitalization models keep emerging, this historic industrial site—bearing the collective memory of China’s chemical industry—will breathe new life in the new era, writing a fresh chapter in asset redevelopment.
