Netflix has started filming its Mandarin drama Triad Princess on location in Taiwan.

The series tells the story of the daughter of a Triad boss who defies her father’s wishes by becoming a bodyguard for a high-profile actress.

Production is scheduled for Taipei and for the city of Kaohsiung in the south of the country.

The drama is the second Taiwanese show to attract Netflix’s interest, following the jailbreak series Nowhere Man that shot in the country towards the end of last year.

Taiwan is not yet known as an international filming location, though it does sometimes attract high-profile foreign shoots.

In 2014, director Luc Besson gave Taipei a profile boost filming scenes locally for his sci-fi action movie Lucy, which went on to become a huge international hit.

More recently, Martin Scorsese shot his period feature Silence locally with Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver (pictured), doubling the country for 17th century Japan.
