We have this cool cultural theme park called Spendid China here in Shenzhen. It has two parts; one section where there are minature/small scale replicas of all the big sightseeing spots in China. It is interesting to see things like Tinamen Square, the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Warriors and the Great Wall, not to mention the grounds are spectacular. The other section is made up of 24 ancient folk villages representing 22 minority nationalities. There are over 10 villages that put on a short show; usally with song and dance. We even found Chinese cowboys! It was interesting to see all the different cultures here in China. There are also four great shows worth seeing; we saw two of them. One was a horse show where they recreating a battle with the Huns. Think hand to hand combat at a full gallop! We also saw a Vegas like show on the costumes of the different cultures which was good. There were lots of other side shows like karate or music too. The kids did a zip-line over the lake and we all enjoyed the bumper boats down the river. Of course, Destiny & Carrie spent most of their energy trying to flee from the boys. We topped the evening off with dumpling soup and an extravaganza that would knock your socks off. It was like a Cirque de Solei type show complete with fire, water, galloping horses, animals, moving stages, floats, lazers and hundreds of dancers. We were blown away with it. The lazer tube was breathtaking. All in all it was a great day and we were happily exhausted when we fell into bed. This is a MUST SEE when you come to visit.
