　　Right next to Splendid China, the folk culture park dazzles with the histories and mysteries of the country''s ethnic groups. Scattering around the 180,000-sqm park are 24 villages built in 1:1 ratio, inhabited by real ethnic people who present their traditional arts, customs, languages and cuisines. Traditional culture performances are held there every day. Like Splendid China, the park is also heavily forested.

　　events. It also holds daily performances of various themes.
　　Window of the World
　　Like Splendid China, this 480,000-sqm park features more than 130 miniature replicas of scenic and cultural wonders. The difference is that these are landmarks from all over the world. Here you can find the Golden Gate Bridge and the Niagara Waterfall of the United States, the Kremlin of Russia, Italy''s Pisa Tower, Egyptian pyramids, the Taj Mahal of India and an Eiffel Tower built in 1:3 ratio.
　　Although these replicas would probably not attract Western visitors much, the park''s daily dance performance and regular carnival-like events are of great fun. Beautifully illuminated at night, it is also an impressive city scene .
