A fantasy would probably be more correct classification

The literal translation of the title of this movie is: At a place that is far far away.

Although this movie is a romantic drama, the sad fact is that the classification of fantasy would probably be much more appropriate classification.  The search, and the discovery of a paradise that is far away from the decadence of contemporary modernity and urbanization, such as materialism, greed, pollution are increasing difficult to find, especially in a rapid changing China which is desperately seeking economical development.  This movie has pointed out the trend of development and its negative aspects by fantasizing what is depicted in the movie.

Mandarin-language cinema across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore explores historical reflection, cultural identity, and personal sacrifice, often expressed through poetic visuals and sweeping narratives. In Mainland China, this takes the form of allegory and large-scale epics that reflect on national history. Taiwan emphasizes intimate modernist realism, generational change, and the search for identity. Singapore contributes stories of migration, multiculturalism, and the negotiation of tradition in a globalized city.
