Windows of the World of Shenzhen - the People's Republic of China.

Shenzhen Windows of the World is a fantastic replica park located in the western part of the city of Shenzhen in the People's Republic of China. Here you can see vivid replicas of the world's wonders, historical heritages and famous scenic sites. The entire masterpiece is built at ratios of 1:1, 1:5 or 1:15.

Windows of the world Shen Zhen
It has about 130 reproductions of some of the most famous tourist attractions in the world squeezed into 48 hectares (118 acres). The 108 meter (354 ft) tall Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline and the sight of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal all in proximity to each other are all part of the appeal of this theme park.


Saint Basil's Cathedral of Moscow
You can discover the place by walking, motorcycle, monorail or by tram. I suggest you do it by walking to fully enjoy the place, pose for some photos, have some snacks and enjoy the rides. Some attractions have rides that are unique to that country. Ride all you can. Your children would love it.

Tourists at Tram
Windows of the World is a cute mini theme park with miniature replicas of landmarks from all over the world. There is another one in Taiwan near Taipei which is older and more comprehensive. This one in Shenzhen however is newer. It is a fun place to visit if you have never been but if you have been to the one in Taiwan then this can be a miss. You can easily cover this theme park within 2 hours.
