Locations in China

Set in China, not filmed there

9 more places in China appear on this atlas because a game, an anime or a manga is SET there. Nothing was filmed at them: a drawn or rendered work is filmed nowhere, and some of these places are invented and pinned on what Wikidata says they are based on.

Also shot in China, without a precise location

Wikidata records 11 more productions as shot in China while naming only the country or the state — true, and too coarse to pin, so they are named here rather than dropped or guessed at.
