A large theme park with replicas of famous global landmarks — the Eiffel Tower, Niagara Falls, the Pyramids — all at reduced scale within a single park. Good for thrill rides, families and younger visitors.

The night ticket offers a particularly good experience — the landmarks are lit up and the atmosphere changes completely after dark. Buy tickets in advance online for a significant discount. Takes 3 to 4 hours to walk through properly. Good value for families. The scale models are more impressive than you'd expect.

How to get there: Metro Lines 1 and 2 — Window of the World Station 世界之窗站 — Exit directly into park
Address: 9037 Shennan Boulevard, Nanshan District
Hours: Daily 9am to 10:30pm

Mandarin phrase tip:
Nǐ zuì xǐhuān nǎge jiànzhú? 你最喜欢哪个建筑？— Which building is your favourite? A good conversation starter with other visitors.
