Shenzhen - Window of the World

We decided to day trip to Shenzhen one weekend. We may not have chosen an appropriate time for the trip because, it was an overcast day. It rained for most part of the day, but in spite of the rain, we had a lovely day at Shenzhen. We went to 'Window of the World' - a beautiful way way to see the world in a couple of hours. 


Window of the World is a theme park where you can see round 130 replicas of monuments. historical heritages and famous sites from around the world.



 The park has a monorail service which helps you to get an overview of the park. (The monorail was a good way to see a large part of the park, especially since it was raining quite heavily when we got there. It is also quite convenient, if you have elders with you and don't want to walk about too much).








 Windows of the World has replicas / miniatures of the Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, White House, London Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Pyramids and the Sphinx of Giza from Egypt, the skyline of New York, Niagara Falls and may more.






 The replicas are built n the ratio of 1:1, 1:5 and 1.15.

 There are rides  (a boat ride with a drop near the Niagara Falls replica, camel rides, one can also take an elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower) one can opt fro in the park. These rides may cost around 15 - 20 RMB (not included in the entry fee).
