The experience

Splendid China is the world's largest park of its kind, built around miniature displays of famous Chinese landmarks and architectural styles. The park functions as a window into Chinese history and culture, organized by the customs and conventions of China's different ethnic minorities. You spend the morning walking through scaled replicas of everything from the Great Wall to regional temples, each one detailed enough to photograph and study up close.

The afternoon shift takes you to the China Folk Culture Village, where the focus moves from architecture to living traditions. Your guide stays with you through both venues, answering questions and providing context as you move between exhibits. The tour wraps up with a return to your hotel, leaving the evening free. Note that the night show "Dances of Chinese Dragon and Phoenix" runs at the park but requires a separate ticket your guide can arrange in advance if you want to stay.

Transportation between your hotel and the parks is not included in the tour price, though the parks sit near subway line 1 and are accessible by taxi. Meals are on your own. Children under 1.2 meters enter free. Those between 1.2 and 1.5 meters pay half the adult rate.
