Splendid China Folk Culture Villages sits alongside Window of the World in the Nanshan District's tourist zone and takes a different approach: instead of the world's landmarks, it miniaturises and recreates China's own. The park contains scaled-down reproductions of the Great Wall, the Potala Palace, the Forbidden City, the Li River, and dozens of other Chinese sites, all set in landscaped grounds.
The Folk Culture Villages section adds reconstructed villages representing China's 56 recognized ethnic minority groups, with daily performances of traditional music, dance, and crafts. The shows are broad and aimed at domestic tourists, but they give a genuine sense of the country's ethnic diversity.
The two parks share an entrance area and are often visited together. Entry is ticketed; combination deals are available. The metro station (Window of the World station, Lines 1 and 6) serves both.
