<P> Filming lasted for three and a half months , which included six - day shoots on location in Hong Kong , Santorini , Llyn Gwynant in North Wales ( doubling for mainland China ) , and a two - week stint in Kenya for shooting at Amboseli and Hell 's Gate , with the remainder of the picture filmed on soundstages in the United Kingdom . One scene in the film was set in Shanghai , but it was shot on a set and not on location . </P>
