Another spot in Shenzhen is highly recommended, which is called The China Folk Culture Villages. It is very close to Splendid China, the world's largest miniature scenic spot. One day is enough to visit both of them.

This village is a museum of China's 55 ethnic groups with their distinctive architecture, customs and exotic flavor. Twenty-four life-size ethnic villages present various ethnic flavors from Beijing's courtyards and wooden archway to spectacular buildings of the Miao, Dong, Yao, Jingpo ethnic groups. From the wooded Banyans in Xishuangbanna to slender Suzhou bridges and mystery Lijiang houses, you can get a general idea
about China's ethnic groups in just half a day.

The China Folk Culture Village, in Shenzhen, has many rides, shows, food, and also gives some history of China. It is a great thing to do with children but if you are an adult I would suggest skipping it. I wouldn't call it a tourist trap because many of its patrons are locals, i.e. school kids and such, but it sure seems like one. The "Dancing with Dragon and Phoenix" show is actually quite entertaining. The food hall, however, is nasty. The food was just gross.

Sometimes when people visit China, they may take the old historical places as their first choice. But in my opinion, many young cities are also attractive. You can experience new activities during day and night. I just back from my trip to Shenzhen. It was wonderful. The Splendid China, the Culture Villages and the Happy Vally are all very interesting.
