Traveler reviews
William Lin
★★★★★Edited a year agoA great place to experience a bit about the Chinese culture and history. One side of the park has miniature adaptations.of famous landmarks such as the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Terracotta Warriors and much more. The other side is more about the shows and you sometimes need to pay additional to watch them. You can easily spend a whole day here, but about 3 hours was enough for us as it was too hot
Helen M
★★★★★a year agoThe shows and performances are quite good. The admission ticket price is not really worth it, as there are a lot of extra fee/cost for activities when you are inside. The workers in there are not too caring too. They don't volunteer any information and only answer specifically what you ask. If you watch the 430pm show, then you will miss a lot of activities as they close at 530pm even though the park closes at 10pm or something.
