Places whose own article says it was shot there
2 places whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

“A portion of the subsequent film adaptation was filmed there.” Wikipedia

Kenting National Park Taiwan
“Part of the 2012 film Life of Pi was filmed inside the park, which is not far from its director Ang Lee's birthplace.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in Taiwan, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable (a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote), so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
