Travel in China
A 48-hectare park of 130 world landmarks in miniature - the Eiffel Tower at 1:3 and Niagara Falls.
Window of the World (Shijie Zhi Chuang) is a 48-hectare theme park containing more than 130 reproductions of the world's most famous landmarks, all in one visit. Opened in 1994, it was one of the first theme parks in China and remains one of Shenzhen's most popular attractions.
The park's centrepiece is a 1:3 scale Eiffel Tower, 108 metres tall, which visitors can climb for views over the park and the surrounding city. Other landmarks include a 1:15 Niagara Falls with real flowing water, Mount Rushmore, the Taj Mahal, Angkor Wat, the Pyramids of Giza, and the Sydney Opera House - all arranged in a landscaped garden with lakes and performance spaces.
The park offers cultural performances throughout the day - African drumming, European folk dancing and laser shows. The evening illumination, when the miniature landmarks are lit, transforms the park into a surreal global village.
