In the Southern Song Dynasty, heroine SHANG Yen-Chih ventures to the important Jin-controlled military base Dragon City to meet up with revolutionary comrade CHEN Yang-Xin, who is in possession of a secret map of resistance against the Jin. She finds out, however, that the entire CHEN family has been executed by Jin general BU Lung. To find the secret map’s whereabouts, SHANG Yen-Chih continues to track BU Lung, eventually discovering to her surprise that her long-term foe is actually a Song ally who has been undercover for years…

A City Called Dragon is driven by a suspenseful plot, meticulously-selected locations and breathtaking dramatic tension. Newcomer HSU Feng especially impresses as heroine SHANG Yen-Chih and cuts a dashing figure in her period costume. Her strong performance is complemented by SHIH Chun’s portrayal of Jin general BU Lung, and together they make the two protagonists’ gradual shift from rivalry to empathy one of the highlights of the film.
