"House of Flying Daggers" is a good example of the consistent style of Zhang Yimou's movies: exquisite selection of scenes. The Peony Square in the film is a high-end entertainment venue in the Tang Dynasty. The entire 360-degree rotunda is magnificent and magnificent. All the carved beams and paintings are all meticulously crafted in various peony shapes. The bamboo forest shrouded in mist in the film is taken from the bamboo sea in Yongchuan, Chongqing; the splendid flower sea, the silver birch forest and the picturesque mountains are taken from the Kosovo National Forest Park in Ukraine

The costumes of "House of Flying Daggers" break through the vulgar styles used in previous martial arts movies, and show unique features from fabrics to styles, such as Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro's catching suits and hats. In the scene at Peony Square, Takeshi Kaneshiro’s satin pants and finely embroidered boots, Zhang Ziyi’s long dress, three-meter-long sleeves and embellishments all speak of the time’s tens of thousands of styles
