Shenzhen is a modern financial and commercial metropolis in China; however, it lacks the history and natural beauties which attract visitors to many of the other big cities in China. In recent years the city has compensated by developing excellent theme parks and man-made scenic spots. These modern facilities have succeeded in drawing in crowds of tourists, eager to check out the contemporary attractions.
Window of the World, a theme-park near to Shenzhen Bay, is one of the highlights of Shenzhen. The park displays miniature versions of more than 130 world famous sites, from each of the five continents. Here you are able to visit many of the world's great landmarks in just one day. Of course, since you are in China, you will also want to explore some of China's most well-known sites. Splendid China and China Folk Culture Villages are two special destinations built in Shenzhen to that will introduce you to many interesting aspects of China's culture and scenery. Splendid China features miniature replicas of splendid Chinese historical sites and charming natural beauties. China Folk Culture Villages will introduce you to the cultures of the many Chinese ethnic groups. Its highlights include life-sized examples of distinctive buildings from each group, as well as rich ethnic performances.
Happy Valley (Happy Kingdom), which is near to the Window of the World, is the largest theme park in Shenzhen and consists of nine major projects, including a Spanish Square, Cartoon City, the Adventure Hill, and the Maya Water Park. While at Happy Valley, you can join in the many exciting games and enjoy a variety of excellent performances which cater to both children and adults. Happy Valley is a full service park, providing visitors with everything from sightseeing, entertainment, catering and accommodations, to shopping.
Besides, there are still many attractions worth a visit in the city. Among of them, Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden, Shenzhen Safari Park, Da Meisha and Xiao Meisha Scenic Area (two excellent bathing beaches), Minsk World (a theme park), and Meridian View Center (also called the window of Shenzhen) are highly recommended. Moreover, Xili Lake Resort endowed with enchanting natural view offers a quiet place for citizens to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Mr.Andy replied:
The night performance seems to be at the Folk Village at 7:30pm. The splendid China and the folk village share one ticket, but the Splendid China is closed early at 6pm and the village at 9pm. Then, you can take buses to Shenzhen Railway Station to catch the train to Mongkok, or get to Huanggang border then change to buses to any places of Kowloon after passing the border.

Guangdong Baiyun City Hotel is not bad. It's neat the Guangzhou Railway Station. There are some wholesale markets around it. Guangzhou Home Inn at Shangxiajiu Lu (Shangxia 9 Road) is also good.

It is about 140 kilometes from Panyu to shenzhen. You could take a coach at Panyu Bus Station where has frequent buses to Shenzhen everyday. The journey to Shenzhen Luohu Bus Station is about 2 hours and the ticket fare is around 65RMB per person. Safe~

Ms.Jane replied:
Hi, kimono is the traditional cloth of Japan, not China. The traditional chinese cloth for female is cheong-sam (Qi Pao)or Tang Suit (Tang Suit). Usually, you could find them in any departmen store. If possible, please go to Dongmen Pedestrian Street where some featured shops are located.

What would be the best place/places to visit for 1 da - Windows of the World, Splendid China or China Folk Village. What has the best night show?
May. 12,2009 01:32
Ms.Jane replied:
If you would like to experience some exciting activities, go to the Window of the World. The Splendid China and Folk Village have been combined together to show Chinese culture. Actually, these three parks are close to each other, you could view them in one day. For performance, it seems that the Window of the World is attractive.

For silk, you can go to Hangzhou or Beijing. Shenzhen is better for clothes, electronics or so. Hangzhou and Shanghai also have many large clothes market. Generally, the cloth material and stuffs are produces mainly in Zhejiang, like Hangzhou， SHaoxing. Hope it can help you to make your decision.

It is not far away from the Window of the World and Splendid CHina. You can take city bus. The bus stop infront of the hotel is called Tianxiacun. You can take Bus 350 or 373 and respectively 8 stops or 6 stops from the WOW. The ticket is about 2 yuan per person. The children will be charged according to their height. Usually, fee of charge below 120cm. Enjoy!

The Ocean World is inside the Xiaomeisha Scenic Spot in eastern Shenzhen. It is in Yantian District and the hotel is in Futian District. Sorry, I have no idea about the direct bus from your hotel to Xiaomeisha, but I know Bus 360, 387, 103, 364 and 380 can take you to the Ocean World whicle getting off at Xiaomeisha and walk a few meters.
