Splendid China

splendid china

Splendid China is located next to China Folk Culture Villages and the Window on the World and is a fun entertainment complex.

 

Here, the focus is on miniature Chinese sites, intended to reflect the history, culture, art, ancient architecture and customs and habits of various nationalities in China in a display of some of China's most famous sites and life sized pottery animals and figures. The delicate gardens of Suzhou are mimicked here, as is the Great Wall.

 

There is also a traditional shopping street with an endless array of handicrafts and antiques and a restaurant area offering traditional cuisine from throughout the country.

 

This is an entertaining place and provides some diversion from the gray drabness and serious atmosphere that haunts much of this city.

Botanical Garden
The gardens are not spectacular but this large, green and clean space is a refreshing and welcome change from the rest of this concrete city.
