Window of the World in Shenzhen

The Window of the World is a theme park located in the western part of the city of Shenzhen in Guangdong province. It has about 130 reproductions of some of the most famous tourist attractions in the world squeezed into 48 hectares (118 acres). Here you can see vivid replicas of the world's wonders, historical heritages and famous scenic sites. Along with these reproductions and models, there are rides and special night time entertainment to see. 

Within one day, you can visit many reproductions of famous sites from different countries. For example you can find the Mahamuni Pagoda of Mandalay and the Angkor Wat of Cambodia here. European architectural splendors, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Ancient Athens, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Tower of London will carry you back to the cradle of classical European culture. When you tour the miniature Roman Colosseum, you might notice a cruel and bloody scene.

Enjoy the picturesque scenery as you take a gondola along the canals of Venice. Mysterious Africa is always full of life and vigor. Here, the Pyramids and the Sphinx are quietly waiting for your visit. After traveling through typical African hamlets, you come to the Oceania. Sydney Opera House, which boasts a unique style, is a landmark not only of Australia but also the whole Oceania. The rumbles of Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon lead you to the America, a young continent. These two natural wonders are awe-inspiring. Moving on to modern civilization, in the replica of Manhattan you will see rows of towering skyscrapers. No wonder they say the rhythm of life speeds up here.

The Window of the World is not all monuments and landscapes. The park also tries to make sure you can play some games along the way for a small fee. There is an Archery Field where the tourists can learn from the North American Indians how to use a bow. If that doesn’t appeal, take the cable car through the tropical forest or do something totally different and visit the Indoor Alpine Ski Run. Window of the World can offer their visitors 4,000 square meters or an acre of indoor ski slopes.

During the different festivals and holidays, the park puts on special events. They annually hold the Cherry Festival of Japan and the Indian Cultural Week. They also run special programs during school holidays in the summer, the Chinese National Day and Christmas. Events include a summer International Beer Festival, a Christmas Festival, a Pop Music Festival and a Chinese Spring Festival. If it all seems a bit overwhelming, pick up a map at the entrance to make sure you experience your favorite places.
