Lost City in Snow Heaven, also known as Xue Yu Mi Cheng, is a 2005 Chinese fantasy-action television series directed by Lai Shui-ching, Yu Ming-sang and Yang Zhiqian, starring Vincent Zhao and Ning Jing in the leading roles.
However, though 'Lost City In Snow Heaven' is marketed as a movie, it is in fact a scaled-down version of the Chinese television series.
The Emperor leads his army to invade the Hanhai tribe in the desert in an attempt to pave a road for his conquest of the southern territories.
The Emperor breaks into the shrine where the Dark Chalice is held and experiences a vision of his younger brother, Chongguang, rebelling against him and seizing control of his empire.
The Emperor's wife orders her close aide Yang An to bring the infant princess Leng Yun to Snow City to escape from Chongguang's pursuit.
