Travel in China
China in miniature and in motion - tiny Terracotta Armies beside life-size villages of 24 ethnic minorities.
Splendid China Folk Village (Jinxiu Zhonghua) is actually two adjacent theme parks: Splendid China, with miniature reproductions of China's famous landmarks, and the China Folk Culture Village, with life-size recreations of villages from 24 of China's ethnic minorities.
In the Splendid China half, the Great Wall stretches 1:15 scale across a hillside, the Terracotta Army stands in ranks, and the Forbidden City, the Potala Palace and the Li River's karst peaks are all recreated in miniature. In the Folk Culture Village half, visitors walk through full-scale villages of the Miao, Dong, Tibetan, Uyghur and other minorities, with costumed performers demonstrating crafts, dances and ceremonies.
The evening show 'Dragon and Phoenix' is a spectacular open-air evening performance with hundreds of dancers, acrobats and a water stage. It premiered in 2003 and remains one of Shenzhen's most popular evening attractions.
