It might be an educational opportunity to teach kids about the world’s historic and important places.

History

Window of the World (世界之窗) is part of a theme park area of Shenzhen with three other theme parks nearby. The Shenzhen government organized the building of a special tourist and theme park zone in the Nanshan area of Shenzhen (深圳市南山区华侨城). It is not a big park, but it can be enjoyed along with seeing some of the others parks. At night, there are special dance shows you can see. Hundreds of dancers perform on a large stage, and there is a procession and fireworks display at 9 pm.

Attractions

As you enter the park, the beautiful Eiffel Tower that is the emblem of France dominates the skyline. It can’t be missed, but Europe has a lot more to offer such as Buckingham Palace, the Acropolis, and the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. There are the Palace of Versailles, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Colosseum in Rome, the Trevi Fountain in Rome and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But Europe is not all buildings; the majestic Matterhorn Mountain and the mysterious Stonehenge can also be admired. You can also experience relaxing windmills and the colorful tulips of Holland. Then you can walk on to America, Asia, Africa and Australia and watch special performances and entertainment.

All the famous sights of America from East Coast to West Coast are also exhibited. You can walk from Manhattan in New York and the Statue of Liberty to totem poles of western America. You can ride rafts down the Grand Canyon.

In the mysterious North African region, the Pyramids and the Sphinx can be seen. Do not forget to see the Safari Park before moving on to the Lighthouse of Alexandria.

Asia is full of old beautiful historical sites. Take the time to see Ankor Wat, the Taj Mahal and Temple of the Emerald Buddha. Enjoy the famous Mount Fuji of Japan. Witness the Merlion in Singapore, and see the sights that Malaysia and Indonesia are famous for.

The Window of the World is not all monuments and landscapes. The park also tries to make sure you can play some games along the way for a small fee. There is an Archery Field where the tourists can learn from the North American Indians how to use a bow. If that doesn’t appeal, take the cable car through the tropical forest or do something totally different and visit the Indoor Alpine Ski Run. Window of the World can offer their visitors 4,000 square meters or an acre of indoor ski slopes.

An evening generally ends with a spectacular entertainment show with dance, music and lights as all the artists and performers pull together in one grand show. The show starts at 7:30 every night.

During the different festivals and holidays, the park puts on special events. They annually hold the Cherry Festival of Japan and the Indian Cultural Week. They also run special programs during school holidays in the summer, the Chinese National Day and Christmas. Events include a summer International Beer Festival, a Christmas Festival, a Pop Music Festival and a Chinese Spring Festival. If it all seems a bit overwhelming, pick up a map at the entrance to make sure you experience your favorite places.
