Beijing, the vibrant capital of China, is a city of contrasts—where ancient history meets modern innovation. It is an unparalleled destination for video and photography projects, offering iconic locations such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and bustling contemporary districts. Our Beijing video and photo fixer services are designed to ensure your production journey is as remarkable as the city itself.

Key Insights for Filming in Beijing

Travel Requirements: Beijing supports a 144-hour visa-free transit for certain nationalities, ideal for short-term projects. For extended shoots, we recommend a J2 visa tailored for professional filming. We assist in streamlining the application process.

Regulatory Environment: Filming in Beijing’s public areas requires adherence to strict local rules. Drone use, for example, is limited near sensitive zones such as government buildings and military installations. With our Beijing video and photo fixer expertise, your production stays compliant and stress-free.
