To create a classic and luxurious setting, the MV was specifically filmed in the grand flower hall of the Lin Family Garden. It is the only remaining Fujian opera stage in Taiwan. The Min-Zhe architectural style is vividly expressed through the exquisitely carved beams and painted rafters. With a width of five bays, the spacious hall was once where the Lin family entertained guests. The courtyard also featured a stage and a two-story audience hall, which hosted wildly popular performances in its heyday. The Lin family even had its own private opera troupe. The grand flower hall symbolized the family’s golden age. Though renovated, it remains exquisitely detailed and steeped in history, perfectly setting the stage for the MV’s opulent court atmosphere.
