Fans have been falling head over heels for the 2025 Chinese youth romance Be Passionately in Love (陷入我们的热恋), starring Liu Haocun and Wang Anyu. But while the drama's got everyone buzzing about its emotional ups and downs, another question’s been floating around online: where on earth did they film all this?
Turns out... not everything’s been made public — and for a good reason.

Like many idol-heavy productions these days, the team behind Be Passionately in Love chose to keep most filming details under wraps while shooting.
Industry insiders reckon this was to avoid stalker fans turning up on set and causing disruptions (yep, still a thing). So don’t expect a long list of Instagrammable spots just yet — but here’s what we do know.

The drama kicks off in the misty, fictional southern city of Qingyi — where straight-A student Xu Zhi and misunderstood heartthrob Chen Lu Zhou meet through a chaotic misunderstanding that turns their world upside down.
Although Qingyi’s not a real place, the production recreated its rainy vibe with a mix of lush greenery, old-school school campuses, and stylish cityscapes.

Based on the visuals and the overall vibe, there’s a strong chance filming took place somewhere in Zhejiang Province — maybe Hangzhou or Suzhou, which are both known for that perfect mix of traditional charm and modern visuals.
Zhejiang’s been a hotspot for plenty of other dramas too, and it’s no surprise — the architecture, the canals, and those leafy streets make it a dream backdrop for both teen romance and big-city growth arcs.

Then It’s Off to Beijing – and Beyond!
After high school, the plot takes a dramatic turn. Xu Zhi heads north to Beijing to study architecture, while Chen Lu Zhou is shipped off overseas by his well-off family. But fate’s a cheeky one — he eventually ends up back in China at the same uni as Xu Zhi.

The capital scenes were likely filmed on a real campus or mock-up sets designed to look like one. Beijing itself might’ve been used for some exterior shots, but again, details were kept tightly under wraps.
International scenes? Yep, they went there. Word is, parts of the drama were shot in Stockholm (Sweden) and Zurich (Switzerland) in 2024 — flashback-style sequences that follow Chen Lu Zhou’s life abroad before the grand reunion.
And let’s not forget the eye-catching promotional footage filmed in Macau. Those neon-lit streets and dramatic rooftop scenes? Iconic.
When Did They Film All This?

Filming kicked off in June 2024 and wrapped up by late August, clocking in at around two and a half months — which is pretty standard for this type of 24-episode youth romance. The drama’s a joint production between Tencent Video and Linekong Pictures, and is based on the popular web novel Xian Ru Wo Men De Re Lian by Er Dong Tu Zi.

If you’re dreaming of visiting the real filming spots, we’ve got some advice: keep an eye on behind-the-scenes vids, fan forums, or anything the actors share during promo. While there’s no official travel map (yet), these little breadcrumbs often reveal surprising details.
Also worth a cheeky mention — Hengdian World Studios in Dongyang, Zhejiang, though mostly famous for period dramas, does get used for the odd modern show. So who knows, maybe some indoor scenes were shot there too.
