~Splendid China & Folk Culture Villages~

A relative Thread: Happy Valley & Window of the World

Both of Them are located on the magnificent Shenzhen Bay, Shenzhen, P. R. China.

Splendid China, spreading over an area of 30 hectares, is the largest miniature park in the world.
Eighty-four replicas of typical Chinese ancient buildings, natural landscapes and folk dwellings, which
reflect the Chinese history and culture of 5000 years, have been constructed on a scale of 1:15.
Among them are the Great Wall of China, the Imperial Palace, the Temple of Confucius, the Three
Gorges of the Yangtze River and the like. It enables you to have the vision of skimming through the
Chinese history at every step and touring around China in one day.

China Folk Culture Villages, a sister park of Splendid China, is a large cultural attraction where
folk art, folk customs and folk dwellings are on display. Occupying an area of 18 hectares, it is
composed of 24 life-size ethnic villages representing 56 nationalities of China. Visitors are able to get
some knowledge of the Chinese ethnic architectural styles, appreciate folk song and dance
demonstrations while joining with the artists in their performances and in the making of folk artifacts.

During the daytime, you can experience the exciting Dragon Boat Race, the breathtaking Knife-Pole
Festival and the joyful Water-Splashing Festival. In the evening, the grand evening show and China Folk
Carnival Parade given by 500 ethnic performers will lead you into a fantastic world.
