Cu Lao Cham: A Pristine Oceanic Natural Film Studio Cu Lao Cham, an archipelago consisting of 8 islands of varying sizes, is administratively located in Tan Hiep Commune, Da Nang City, approximately 15–18 km from the central coast. Recognized by UNESCO as a World Biosphere Reserve, this location possesses profound historical and cultural values of the ancient Champa civilization and offers exceptional visual potential for oceanic cinematography. In terms of space and landscape, the location makes a strong impression with its coastal primary forest ecosystem, pristine white sand beaches such as Bai Ong and Bai Chong, and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Beneath the surface lies an incredibly rich marine ecosystem, including hundreds of coral and marine species, providing significant opportunities for international-standard underwater cinematography. Ancient architectural highlights such as Hai Tang Pagoda and the ancient Champa Well add unique indigenous cultural depth. With a distinctive terrain combining mountains, forests, steep cliffs, and the open ocean, Cu Lao Cham is the perfect setting for survival films, adventure, action, or natural science documentaries. The isolated nature of the island allows film crews to easily control the filming location and manage natural lighting.
