With a planned area of five hectares, the Shenzhen Pingshan Changshou Dramaville is situated amid verdant surroundings to the northeast of Maluan Mountain, with the Chi’ao Reservoir to the east. 

In 2020, Pingshan District began renovating the 300-year-old Jiang family residence in Changshou Village, preserving its original Hakka architectural style while injecting fresh vitality into the old village, transforming it into a venue for high-quality performances.

In June 2023, Pingshan District signed a collaborative agreement with Longma Studio to produce excellent original works, leading to the studio’s establishment in Changshou Village. This move injected theatrical elements and industrial vigor into the area. 

The Longma • Changshou Commune, built in the refurbished Jiang’s Hakka residence, covers an area of 7,632.14 square meters. The renovations were executed meticulously to retain the historical allure while crafting a dynamic venue that integrates drama performances, cultural exchanges, and artistic facilities.
