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.

May I know how to go to Shenzhen from Tsim Sha Tsui (Hong Kong)and to WOW? Thank you
I only have a day trip. Where else can I go. What is the last train back to Hong Kong
Thank you

Ms.ADA_WATSON(China) replied:

Take East Rail Line from Tsim Sha Tsui to Lo Wo and then pass Lo Wo border. Take Subway Line 1 of Shenzhen Metro from Luo Hu and get off at WoW station. WoW is enough for you to visit for almost a day. On your way back at Luo Hu, you can have a stroll on Dongmenbuxingjie (a famous pedestrian street in Shenzhen). The metro runs late to 23:30. So go back to Hong Kong before that. Good Luck!

Ms.Ada_Watson(China) replied:

1) just walk to Guomao Subway Station and then take Shenzhen Subway Line 1. Get off at WOW subway station and you will reach WOW after walking 500 meters.
2) take Shenzhen subway line 1 back from WOW to Luo Hu station. Get off to pass Luo Hu border and then you reach Lo Wo Station of Hong Kong MTR. And now you are now in Hong Kong.

I can tell you how to get there, but i cannot say the exact travel time. first take Island Line from Causeway Bay Metro Station to Wan Chai Metro Station. And then take Star Ferry at Wai Chai Star Ferry Pier to Hung Hom Star Ferry Pier. And then take East Rail Line from Hung Hom to Lo Wo. Pass Luo Hu Custom and then take subway line 1 of shenzhen from Luo Hu station to Wow. That is it. wish you a nice journey.

Hi Melissa,

Thank you so much for your quick response re the direction to WOW. Can you also please let me know how do I get to Days Inn when I arrived from Hong Kong at Lo Wo Station.

Nov. 11,2009 20:21
Ms.Melissa replied:

Did you try to learn about Days Inn hotel? their service? their location? If you do, you will answer this question by yourself.
Days Inn Shenzhen is within few distance from Laojie Metro Station, and is only two station by subway from Luohu Customs and Railway Station. So just take the same Metro 1 from Wow back to Laojie and walk to the hotel. That't it.
