Window of the World Wikipedia

Not to be confused with the famed Windows on the World restaurant that was at the top of the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, New York.

The Window of the World (zh-cp|c=世界之窗|p=Sh??ji??zh??chu??ng) is a theme park located in the western part of the city of Shenzhen in the People's Republic of China. It has reproductions of some of the most famous tourist attractions in the world squeezed into 480,000 square metres. The 108 meter (354 ft) tall Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline and the sight of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal all in such close proximity are all part of the slightly kitsch appeal of this theme park.

There are also a wide selection of international restaurants and mini exhibitions on famous figures from world history. Window on the World allows you to eat Mexican Food, see the Niagara Falls then wander around Angkor Wat. The site takes at least half a day to explore and every day ends with a firework and laser show.

Since late 2004, when the Shenzhen Metro was opened, tourists have been able to reach the Window of the World conveniently by rail.
