All the major tourist destinations, fitted into 48 hectares, with approximately 130 replicas of major tourist attractions from around the world, the name the Window of World says it all. See the towering Eiffel tower, the ancient Pyramids of Egypt and the magnificent Taj Mahal, in just one place. All replicas have been built in ratios of 1:1, 1:5 or 1:15.

The Window of the World, situated in Shenzen, China, is a theme park that showcases some of landmark attractions from around the world. The theme park is divided into different regions of the world continent wise.

Visit Europe here and see the historic Stonehenge or see the British Houses of Parliament. Tour around the Louvre Pyramid, from Paris, or stand in awe at the iconic Eiffel Tower, the London Tower Bridge or the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Visit the splendorous palaces of Europe like the Buckingham Palace and the Versailles Palace. See ancient Rome and Greece, by visiting the Colosseum of Rome or the Acropolis of Athens.

Visit Asia, and see the historic Angor Wat of Cambodia, The Temple of the Emerald Buddha of Thailand, or the beautiful Taj Mahal. See Oceania and see the Sydney Opera House or the Dwelling Houses of the Maori of New Zealand. Go to Africa and go for a safari at the Safari Park of Kenya, of wonder at the great Pyramids of Egypt and catch a glimpse of the Sphinx.

Move over to the Americas and see Manhattan borough, Disneyland, the White House, the Statue of Liberty and the Statues of Easter Island in Chile. There is just so much to see and enjoy, also food from around the world is available, so don’t forget to take a culinary tour of dishes from around the world.

Fireworks displays and laser shows bring each day to a close, with music and dance shows being held in the evening. There are many adventure trips you could take part in. Also visiting the park during many of the festival times is another great way to enjoy. Many special events will be held on these festive days.

Of course one day would not be enough to enjoy and see all of the attractions at the Window of the World. Book some of the Shenzen serviced apartments and spent a few days there to see this entire park. The Ascott Shenzen Maillen is a place to look out for, if you are planning of staying for more than a day.
