Location(s) of When a Snail Falls in Love (如果蜗牛有爱情)

[Jan Finster]

I wonder if someone can tell me the setting of When a Snail Falls in Love (如果蜗牛有爱情). 

Of course the first episode is in Myanmar, but which Chinese city is the show otherwise set it?

I only watched a few episodes so can't remember clearly, but according to Baidu, it was most filmed in Yunnan (the big city would likely be Kunming). These are the places Baidu gives:

 

德宏、昆明、红河、缅甸等、西双版纳

 

It seems like you aren't the only one drawn in by its beautiful locations, as the writer of the below article was inspired to travel there and take these photos:

美不胜收 (unimaginably beautiful) is how the writer describes it - another new chengyu learnt!

 

Did you enjoy the show (apart from its locations)?

Thank you so much! 

 

Yes, I liked the actors and much of the story. A mix of crime, psychology and romance set in Burma and the beautiful locations you mentioned. Overall a great TV show. 

 

I can also recommend "Love me if you dare" (他来了，请闭眼) (not so much location-wise, but for the suspense, romanance and criminal psychology aspect)
