World Park

December 17, 2007

Paris? Pyramids? Close…for budget tourist like me, I’m estatic seeing almost ‘real’ world attractions at World Park. These life-size replicas ignite the historical curiousity in you. Imagine seeing mythological scruptures from “ancient” Greece/Rome! Or the Japanese temples and gardens! or life-size Angkor Wat!

The World Park in Beijing is located in southwestern Fengtai District, and is about 17 kilometers from the City center and 40 kilometers from the Capital International Airport. The park opened in 1993 and is estimated to receive 1.5 million visitors annually.

When we went there, it was so gloomy that I was depressed seeing the cloudy sky. Although the weather was not with us that day, we managed to go around the place and take lots of pictures as usual! My favorite is the Eiffel Tower replica! I do dream of Paris…so hopefully one day, I’ll be in the real one!

Dress up like a Japanese samurai or geisha and feel like it’s ancient Japan. You can also rent Egyptian costumes and take a picture with the camel which is real, by the way…you need to pay a fee to ride it for picture only though…warning..it smells!

Here are more pictures of World Park in Beijing!

Thank you for a nice description and some truly great photographs! It seems like such a fascinating Park, that I’ve added it to to the database of our travel community. Perhaps you would care to review it there or share some pictures with us?
