Many scenes were shot in Xinchang, including when Kuang Yu Min is bothered by prostitutes at a hostel in Malaysia, when Wong Chia Chi waits for Mr Yee at a cafe and when a group of Wong Chia Chi's drama club members take the tram on a rainy day. Ang Lee rented the entirety of Xinchang for a month to shoot the scenes.

Xinchang was a short name for Xin Yan Chang (the new salt place). Most of its residents made their living in the salt trade. Trade was successful, and many of the residents were quite well-off.
