Hidden Man a 2018 Chinese action comedy film starring Eddie Peng, Liao Fan, Jiang Wen, Zhou Yun, and Xu Qing. It is an adaptation of Zhang Beihai's wuxia or martial arts novel Xia Yin.
On the cusp of the Second Sino-Japanese War, a spy returns to China set on revenge, but finds himself plunged into a high-stakes game of intrigue, love, and scheming. The film is actor-director Jiang Wen's energetic follow-up to Let the Bullets Fly (2010) and Gone with the Bullets (2014).
Hidden Man was mostly shot in Gubei Water Town, Beijing.
Situated in Gubeikou town of Beijing’s Miyun district, Gubei Water Town surrounds the beautiful Mandarin Duck Lake Reservoir and leans against the Simatai Great Wall, the most dangerous and majestic section of the entire Great Wall.
The town is characterized by the northern architectural style, and the history and culture of the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and the Republic of China (1912-49) period.
Most buildings are reconstructed in the traditional courtyard style. Based on five ancient villages and a water resource, the water town has developed into a large-scale sightseeing and holiday destination.
Covering an area of 3.5 square miles (9 square kilometers), the holiday resort includes two scenic spots, Gubei Water Town and the Simatai Great Wall.
