Window of the World Totally Explained

Everything about The Window Of The World totally explained

The Window of the World is a theme park located in the western part of the city of Shenzhen in the People's Republic of China. It has about 130 reproductions of some of the most famous tourist attractions in the world squeezed into 480,000 square metres. The 108 meter (354 ft) tall Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline and the sight of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal all in proximity to each other are all part of the slightly kitsch appeal of this theme park.
   There are also a wide selection of international restaurants and mini exhibitions on famous figures from world history. Window of the World allows you to eat Mexican food, see the Niagara Falls then wander around Angkor Wat. The site takes at least half a day to explore and every day ends with a firework and laser show.
   Since late 2004, when the Shenzhen Metro was opened, tourists have been able to reach the Window of the World conveniently via subway.
   Admission is 120 yuan (or 50 yuan after 7:40 pm). Persons between 65 and 69 are half price, while seniors 70 and over are admitted free (ID required). Children whose height is between 1.1 and 1.4 meters are also half price, with children under 1.1 meters free.
   Skiing and snow tubing are available at the "Alps Indoor Skiing".
   In the evening, one can enjoy "Fervorous Paris Nights" at "Caesar's Palace". Spectacles include young bikini-clad women prancing on stage to the music of Tom Jones' "Sex Bomb".
