Stepping into the shoes of your favourite film character may not be quite as hard as you think. Despite having wrapped1） filming years or sometimes even decades ago， many movie sets that were once specially and presumably2）， temporarily， built are still around. Like Captain Jack Sparrow， are you keen to explore the shores of Port Royal， which is actually located in St Vincent and the Grenadines？ Or would you prefer to visit the desert home of Luke Skywalker in Tozeur， Tunisia？ Here are some of the most picturesque3） （and most popular） former film sets.

Port Royal

Location： Wallilabou Bay， St Vincent and the Grenadines

The picturesque island of St Vincent and the Grenadines proved the perfect filming location for the second installment4） in the franchise5）， Pirates of the Caribbean： Dead Mans Chest， standing in6） for the town of Port Royal. Interestingly， the "real" Port Royal is a city located at the mouth of Kingston Harbour in Jamaica. But， in Wallilabou Bay， fans of the films can retrace the steps of Captain Jack Sparrow and relax on the leftover7） film sets， explore the crystal clear waters and sunbathe on the dock or sandy beach.

Tatooine8）

Location： Tozeur， Tunisia

Tataouine is the town in Tunisia that inspired George Lucas9） to name his fictional desert planet Tatooine. And while it wasnt actually used during filming， several scenes were shot just on the outskirts10） of the town and in the nearby beach town of Djerba. For die-hard11） fans， Luke Skywalkers home still exists in Tozeur， as does the set of Mos Espa12）—and almost everything has been left intact13） over the years.

羅亞爾港

位于圣文森特和格林納丁斯島的瓦利拉波灣

風(fēng)景如畫的圣文森特和格林納丁斯島的確是《加勒比海盜》系列電影第二部《加勒比海盜：聚魂棺》的絕佳拍攝地，片中的羅亞爾港鎮(zhèn)就取景于此。有趣的是，“真正的”羅亞爾港是一座位于牙買加金斯敦港港口的城市。不過，在瓦利拉波灣，影迷們可以追尋著杰克·斯帕羅船長的足跡，在殘存的幾處電影片場放松一下，去感受晶瑩剔透的海水，在碼頭或沙灘上享受日光浴。

Hunger Games District 12

Location： Henry River Mill Village， North Carolina

The small textile village in Burke County， North Carolina， wouldnt usually be considered a top tourist destination. However， following the massive success of the Hunger Games film series， some eagle-eyed14） fans will better recognise the ramshackle15） village as Katniss Everdeens post-apocalyptic16） home of District 12. However， dont expect many tourist attractions to pop up in the deserted ghost village—in fact， the abandoned homes shouldnt even really be entered due to their collapsing floors.

Popeyes Village

Location： Mellieha， Malta

The village from the 1980 live-action feature17）， Popeye， is also known as Sweethaven Village， located at the north-west corner of the Mediterranean island of Malta. The rustic， ramshackle village is located at Anchor Bay， which is just two miles from the Mellieha. Though production has long since ceased， today its open to the public seven days per week as an open-air museum and family entertainment complex18）. There are shows， rides19） and museums， as well as opportunities for children to meet the main characters from the show.

霍比屯

位于新西蘭馬塔馬塔鎮(zhèn)

新西蘭的馬塔馬塔鎮(zhèn)是建筑最密集的電影取景目的地之一，也是電影《指環(huán)王》和《霍比特人》三部曲的拍攝地，影迷們?nèi)粝胗H自感受和體驗(yàn)霍比屯的一切，那方式可多到讓人無從選擇。該拍攝地位于馬塔馬塔鎮(zhèn)附近的一片私人農(nóng)田，已被徹底重建，影迷們只需兩個(gè)小時(shí)的精彩導(dǎo)覽之旅就可以在此探索一番。參觀期間，影迷們可以游覽霍比特人小屋、綠龍酒館、磨坊、雙拱橋以及其他專為影片修建的建筑和花園。對(duì)于那些太陽落山后還不愿離去的影迷，一些旅行社甚至還提供農(nóng)家住宿。

普拉佐集中營

位于波蘭的普拉佐勞役營

多虧了斯蒂芬·斯皮爾伯格的大作《辛德勒的名單》，全世界的影迷都對(duì)普拉佐集中營的故事耳熟能詳。這個(gè)納粹集中營位于波德戈茲區(qū)，距克拉科夫市區(qū)十公里。影片之所以重點(diǎn)突出這個(gè)地方，主要是因?yàn)榧{粹軍官阿蒙·高斯曾在此犯下暴行。雖然此地后來歷經(jīng)變遷，但高斯的住宅仍然還在，而且已在二戰(zhàn)后被交還給了該房的原主人。這處住宅以“紅房子”之名而著稱，其門牌號(hào)為22號(hào)，從這里可以俯瞰下方的普拉佐集中營。
