Little China for everyone
This park turn out to be a surprise. In a extensive area one can take knowledge of the master landmarks from China. The Great Wall, Forbidden City and many of the most important temples, not forgetting the Terracota Warriors among dozens of palaces and iconic buildings. Of course each of this in a scale that turns everything cute. Along with all those miniatures there are also life size buildings, bridges, and lots of folk culture. The ticket is a bit pricy (about 30€) but all in all it’s a well spent time.

A “must visit” when in Shenzhen, China
Splendid China Folk Culture Village is easily reached by MTR (metro) as it is within easy walking distance from OCT (Overseas Chinese Town) station. Splendid China Folk Culture Village is a “must visit” when in Shenzhen, China. First, you can have an overall view of it by taking a hop-on hop-off tram ride. See my YouTube video “Splendid China Folk Village - Tram Ride”. Moreover, there are fantastic shows to see, the best of which is “Oriental Splendor” which shows performers, especially beautiful women, in luxurious oriental costumes, parading and dancing. This show alone is worth the visit to Splendid China Folk Village. See my YouTube videos “Splendid China Folk Village - Oriental Splendor” Parts 1 to 12. For action-packed show, watch “Legend of the Desert” (half way through the hop-on hop-off tram ride). Check with tram operator for the timing of tram ride to see “Legend of the Desert”. See my YouTube video “Splendid China Folk Village, Shenzhen - Legend of the Desert”.

Highly recommended
Class A+ experience. I had expected it to be more educational but it turned out to be more of a theme park. This made it easy to quickly proceed through the park. I spent 7 daytime hours there and walked 9 miles. The bigger night time shows are only held Friday- Sunday though. The “New Oriental Dress” dance performance is included on weekdays. It lasted 50 minutes and was highly professional with amazing costumes. Almost everything there is in Chinese and English. My only complaint was that it was challenging to determine the show schedules in English but I still managed to watch several and they lasted 10-20 minutes each.

Amazing introduction to China’s cultures and landmarks in miniature
We spent a whole day here! It has miniature replicas of many of the important landmarks in China eg Forbidden City, Potala Palace, various Minority tribal villages. We took a hop on hop off bus that takes you round the park to view the sights at our own pace. It included a boat ride which was surprisingly entertaining. The bonus was all the many live performances held throughout the day showcasing the various cultures of China at no extra charge. Amazing value for money!
