Shenzhen has launched a bus line that offers tours to the filming locations of the Chinese New Year blockbuster Scare Out (惊蛰无声), which was shot at multiple landmarks across the city.

Directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Jackson Yee, Zhu Yilong, and Song Jia, the film revolves around the leak of classified intelligence concerning China's latest fighter jet and the subsequent race by security agents to neutralize the threat. After debuting on Feb 17, the film has raked in 750 million yuan ($108.6 million) in box-office revenue to date, securing its position as the second highest-grossing film during the Chinese New Year holidays.
