Shooting for a documentary on the development of Xiong'an New Area in North China's Hebei province began on Friday. The documentary, Xiong'an Xiong'an, aims to show to the world the emergence of a high-level modern socialist city.
"The documentary will record the extraordinary course of the planning and construction of Xiong'an New Area in an all-round way, opening up a magnificent prospect for audiences at home and abroad," Shen Haixiong, president of China Media Group, said at a ceremony held in Xiong'an on the day.
Produced by the group, the documentary will also include stories about events that took place in the area and exhibit how a new city emerged from scratch.
Dubbed China's youngest city and a "city of the future", Xiong'an was established in April 2017 to serve as a new home for functions that don't necessarily have to be held in the nation's capital, as also to advance the development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
