Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Filming Locations

This runaway blockbuster hit introduces superhero Shang-Chi to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the first Asian Avenger to grace Hollywood screens. The film flits between glimpses of Shang-Chi’s fictional home village of Ta Lo (filmed in Sydney) to his modern-day life in San Francisco. Most of the filming took place on epic studio sets and sound stages, with choice on-location sets reserved for dynamic fight scenes.

1. Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco
One of the film’s most high-intensity scenes is Shang-Chi’s epic Muni bus fight scene, where mysterious Ten Rings agents chased him onboard a bus hurtling down Nob Hill. The iconic sequence took place from California Street to the popular Fisherman’s Wharf, with a fleeting shot of Ghirardelli Square. This residential area is best explored from the waterfront on a 2.5-hour Segway tour or an hour-long historical walking tour.

2. Prospect Reservoir, Sydney
If you’re looking for Ta Lo, this is it. The entire fictional town was built on a massive film set by Eastern Creek. This sprawling waterfront sits on the edge of Sydney, making it a great stop en route to the Blue Mountains only 30 minutes away, where peak sunset views and rugged bush trails await. Enjoy picnics, guided walks, and informative narration with a full-day tour on a comfy 28-seater minibus.

3. White Bay, Rozelle
The White Bay landscape along Sydney Harbour sets the stage for a few short scenes and B-roll shots in Shang-Chi. There’s plenty to do if you’re touring the area; beyond the usual suspects of the Sydney Opera House and the Royal Botanic Garden, opt for a half-day whale-watching cruise that takes you along the coastal harbour before entering the open sea; you’ll even see Manly Beach and Watson’s Bay along the way.
