Since the release of Huang Bo's "The Island", the box office has been booming.

This is not just a comedy, but also an island survival drama. The film sets its background on an isolated island, where human nature, survival, interests, love... all continuously trigger something deep in people's hearts as the plot unfolds.

The filming location of this drama

The trees are enormous, with dense green shade

Giving people a feeling of accidentally falling into a jungle

One cannot help but be curious about it

It turns out

It was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1993

Rated by Lonely Planet as:

"One of Japan's most unusual tourist destinations"

It is the pinnacle work of animation master Hayao Miyazaki

The only officially recognized filming location of "Princess Mononoke"

It is also the forest mentioned in Haruki Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore"

The forest mentioned in it

It has received so much favor

So where exactly is it?

It is located at 30 degrees north latitude

Yakushima, south of Kagoshima, Japan!

Here is a hand-drawn travel map of Yakushima

The oldest cedar tree here - the Jomon Sugi

Its age can be traced back

To Japan's Jomon period 2300 years ago

The island also has more than 50 varieties of flowers

Especially azaleas, as well as rare mosses

The little spirits in "Princess Mononoke"

Are the true owners of this forest

Together with the trees, moss, and sunlight here

Everything is so dreamy and pleasant

On the way, you will encounter cute little deer

They roam freely here

They do not avoid people when they meet them

Nor are they alarmed

They just calmly look at you

It is as if you have arrived at their home

And been a calm guest for a day

Hiking here

It is as beautiful as a dream

Lush and verdant

Streams murmuring

If you run into a family of little monkeys

Just happily say hello

Yakushima is jokingly said to have "rain 35 days a month"

The rainfall of one day

Once equaled Hokkaido's annual rainfall

Such a natural environment

Has brought this land primeval forests

Thousand-year-old trees like the Jomon Sugi, waterfalls and the sea

Being in the midst of it, you can instantly forget the noise of the city

Mist rising and clouds swirling, streams murmuring

Hiking here

Gives us an experience of pristine nature

From day to night

Put your feet in hell

Put your eyes in heaven

Perhaps one second

You are still weaving through the forest of tangled roots

The next second

A pool of emerald green lake water appears before your eyes

Trees that blot out the sky and sun

Bring us into Hayao Miyazaki's animation

So unreal, yet so real

The trail is not flat all the way

How I wish to have you by my side all the way

Let these thousand-year-old trees bear witness for us

In this life and the next, it is all you

In the forest where a trace of sunlight shines through the darkness

The stream flows quietly

Moss is everywhere

It seems that with just a slight turn of the head

You will see the little spirits of the forest from the light

Because it is almost at the same latitude as Shanghai

The temperature is also similar

A direct flight from Shanghai to Kagoshima takes only two hours

Then take a high-speed boat

Departing from Kagoshima Main Port

To Miyanoura Port or Anbo Port on Yakushima

Then you can begin following Hayao Miyazaki's animation

And search for the filming location of Huang Bo's "The Island"

All the excitement, all at Huayipai Youzan Mall
