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.
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 everybody,
I'm staying in HK at the moment and would like to visit the WOW. I'm holding a Dutch passport, does anybody know if I can get the 5-days visa for Shenzhen even if my passport expires within 1 month? Is there any expiry-date limit, they have for issue?
Thanks a lot in advance

Mr.Daniel replied:
Generally, you could apply for the 5-day's visa if you hold the valid passport. Actually, you'd better consult the details at the Luohu Custom Port.

Mr.Shan replied:
Where you will enter into Shenzhen? If you come from HK, yes, you could apply for a 5-day's arrival visa at Luohu Port. But, you are required to visiting in the Special Economic Zone of Shenzhen. Otherwise. if you would like to arrive at Shenzhen from India directly, you have to apply for a China visa in advance. Non arrival visa in this sitatution will be issued.

You can go to Gongbei Border from Macau first and then take a ship from the Jiuzhou Port in Gongbei to Shekou Port of Shenzhen.The ship fare is about 100 yuan. The cruise costs one hour. After you arrive at Shekou port, just take the Bus No.113 or K113 to get to WOW. The bus fare is about 5 yuan.

At Wharney Guangdong Hotel HK (Exit C, Wan Chai MTR Station), you can take the buses to go to Shenzhen. You can get off at Shenzhen Bay Border. Then, take the Bus 90 there to get to the Window of the World directly.

Hi,
I'm going to WOW from Macau, can anyone help me with my following queries;
1. How to go to WOW from Macau?How much is the fare and how long? and vice versa how to go back to macau?
2. How and where to get visa going to schenzhen from Macau? and how much?
Thank you for your kind help.

Mr.Toy replied:
Well, if you would like to reach Shenzhen from Macau directly, it seems that you have to apply for a China Visa in advance in Philippines or when you arrive in Macau (needs at least 4days)
So, it is suggested that you take Hong Kong as a transfer station, beacuse you could apply for a 5-day's visa to Shenzhen Special Economic Zone as soon as you arrive at the custom ports to Shenzhen. The WOW is just located in the special zone.
From Macau to HK, you could take a ferry from Macau's New Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal to the China Hong Kong Ferry Terminal. The fare is about HK50 per adult and the journey is about 60~75 minutes.
