It's a

This week, in our series on the world's most famous

thene parks, we are visiting The Window of the World
theme park in Shenzhen, China.

This certainly is a theme park u'ith a difference. The
Window of the World contains over 130 replicas ofthe
most famous natural and nan-made sites in the world,
all squeezed onto about 480,000 square lnetres Sone of
the replicas are the actual size of the sites while others

the Egyptian Pyramids. The Acropolis is here along
with Niagara Falls.
'We want visitors to see and experience places and
cultures they may not be able to actually get to in
person. Not everyone can visit every famous landmark
in the world in one lifetime and that is why this park is
attractive to many visitors, both Chinese nationals and
foreigners,' commented NIr Chin, one ofthe managers
The Window of the World theme park combines both
fun and education. There are regular exhibitions about
famous people in history, and the park often holds
themes. Visitors also have the opportunity to try out food fiom
all over the world in one ofthe many restaurants.
'This week rve are holding Indian Week,' explained one of the
organisers. '\risitors can learn all abor.rt Indian culture' customs
and traditions. ],\re are offering Indian food all week and there is
also a special exhibition on famous Indians in histor,v.'
Vi.itor. to the have the opporlur'rily lo qee rnany

famous sites and learn a lot about different world cultures, but
they also have the chance to take Part in many adventure trips
in the park.
'We are waiting to go dowrt the Colorado River by boat and
some friends of ours ate skiing in the Alpine Ski Resort" said
one visitor.'We actually come from Shenzhen andwe think this
park is a great benefit for our region. We wili probably never be
able to visit all ofthese places ourselves, so it is really interesting
for us. Sone friends of ours are visiting us next week from the
USA and ue are going to bring them to see the park, too!'
