Studio 1 at Chenchuang Industrial Park has attracted many production teams with its distinctive overhead catwalk design.

Once an industrial hub, Hanjiangwan in Qiaokou district, Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, is now reinventing itself through urban renewal and adaptive reuse, transforming aging factories into digital culture innovation hubs.

At the former site of Wuhan Chenchuang Chemical Machine Manufacturing Co., Ltd., renovation work is in full swing. In just three or four months, a modern film and television production base is set to open.

According to Lai Xiangyu, a staff member at Wuhan Qiaojian Digital Media, six existing buildings are being upgraded into an AI-driven film and television innovation park, integrating five core functions: R&D and innovation, content production, exhibition and trading, talent training, and industrial services.

"A production crew can arrive with just a script and complete the entire shoot here," Lai said. The confidence comes from the park's comprehensive support system, which includes more than 100 planned filming sets. Supported by the supply chain network of Hanzheng Street, a commercial and trade area, props can be delivered within 20 minutes.
