Walking into the Window of the World reminds you of the renowned British novel Gulliver's Travels. When Dr Gulliver woke up in the country of Lilliput, he felt like a giant to everything around him. In this theme park on the west side of Shenzhen, you will feel exactly the same way.

The park has more than 100 vivid replicas of the world's famous wonders, historical relics and scenic sites squeezed into 48 hectares. To travel around the "world" within one day is not an impossible mission. Start by hopping on Shenzhen Metro Line 1.
