Window of the World
A showcase of Pyramids of Egypt

Shenzhen Window of the World is a fantastic replica park situated at the Overseas Chinese Town. Here you can see vivid replicas of the world's wonders, historical heritages and famous scenic sites. The entire masterpiece is built at ratios of 1:1, 1:5 or 1:15.

Within one day, you can visit many reproductions of famous sites from different countries. For example you can find the Mahamuni Pagoda of Mandalay and the Angkor Wat of Cambodia here. European architectural splendors, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Ancient Athens, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Tower of London will carry you back to the cradle of classical European culture. When you tour the miniature Roman Colosseum, you might notice a cruel and bloody scene. Enjoy the picturesque scenery as you take a gondola along the canals of Venice. Mysterious Africa is always full of life and vigor. Here, the Pyramids and the Sphinx are quietly waiting for your visit. After traveling through typical African hamlets, you come to the Oceania. Sydney Opera House, which boasts a unique style, is a landmark not only of Australia but also the whole Oceania. Looking from a distance, it looks like a luminous pearl on the vast expanse of blue sea water. The rumbles of Niagara Falls and the Grand Canyon lead you to the America, a young continent. These two natural wonders are awe-inspiring. Moving on to modern civilization, in the replica of Manhattan you will see rows of towering skyscrapers. No wonder they say the rhythm of life speeds up here.

Window of the World is full of foreign flavors.Visiting during a festival time is another way to experience this replica park. Annually the park holds the Cherry Festival and the Indian Cultural Week. During the Cherry Festival, wandering in the cherry garden of Japan and taking a cup of tea will refresh you. Window of the World runs many programs during holiday periods too. In the summer holiday, the International Beer Festival is a big tourist attraction. Probably, the Pop Music Festival is the favorite of young people. This is held on China's National Day. In December, Santa Claus welcomes New Year's approach. Following this the World Dance and Singing Gala is held during the Spring Festival. Taking part in the entertainment activities complements your travel plan.

There are a number of adventure trips for you to choose from. For example, test your courage by navigating the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. In the Archery Field, tourists may follow the ways of North American Indians and learn to hunt prey in the lush woods. Even more exciting is to traverse the primitive tropical forest in a cable car. Skiing in a subtropical city might sound strange, but the Indoor Alpine Ski Run in Shenzhen Window of the World offers you four thousand square meters (about 6,200,012 square feet) of indoor piste to ski.

Shenzhen Window of the World has a lot more to offer. You will have a good day in this miniature world.

Hi, I will be in Hong Kong and planning to visit WOW. Is it convenient to travel on my own if I don't speak Mandarin? Is wow near the train station or do i still need to take a bus from the station (what's the station's name?). Thank you

Mr.Tommy replied:

Just use English. To get from HongKong to WOW is no big job. Take East Light Rail in Hong Kong to Lo Wo Station, take Metro Line 1 in Shenzhen at Luo Hu Station, get off at WOW station.

It depends on the time you need to pass to Shenzhen from Hong Kong through Luo Hu. Subway trips are fast. Here is a HK metro map that may be helpful

You should get yourself to Hung Hom and then take East Rail Line from Hung Hom to Luo Hu. Afterwards, you can take direct air-conditioned bus Dong Fang Jia Ri Zhuan Xian 1 (Oriental Holiday Special Line 1)from Luo Hu to WOW.

Unfortunately, as of this time, they stopped issuing Shenzhen Visa for Philippine Passport holders in Lowu border. Philippine Passport holder should secure visa from China Embassy in the Philippines.

YES you need a VISA!
