Tickets are convenient to buy and use. It takes 30 minutes to take a taxi from Futian Port without washing. There are many more rides than when I was a kid, no longer just seeing the world-famous scenery. However, there are very many mosquitoes inside, and the whole family is all tricked, The fish pond feeds fish while feeding mosquitoes, and shooting dead mosquitoes is a lot of blood🥴 Bubble bike machine overhauled guess, pedal first bubble but children sitting on the bike and can not blow bubble play finally become parents cycling tired to lie down. |
Splendid China Folk Village consists of two parts: Splendid China and China Folk Village. The former has miniatures of many famous Chinese landscapes, allowing you to "travel around China in one day". The latter has buildings in twenty-four villages where you can experience folk customs and watch folk performances of fifty-six ethnic groups.

The two parks have been merged, so you only need to buy one ticket. It is generally recommended to visit Splendid China in the morning and the Folk Village in the afternoon, because the large-scale performances in the Folk Village are all in the afternoon.
If you want to take a quick tour in half a day, you can also consider combining walking and electric cars. The shuttle bus has a fixed pattern. The stop point of Splendid China is the Confucius Temple, and the stop point of Folk Village is Mosuo Village. It takes about 25 minutes to tour the entire scenic area. The stop time is 2 minutes.
Splendid China
The main purpose is to visit the miniature scenic spots and take photos. There are nearly a hundred Chinese scenic spots reduced in size at a ratio of 1:15, which can be said to be a collection of the essence of China's natural scenery and cultural history. The mini version of the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors of Qin, the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang, the Huangguoshu Waterfall and other famous places can all be seen here, hence the saying "travel around China in one day".
Chinese Folk Village
You can appreciate the unique customs woven by China's 56 ethnic groups. You can see colourful ethnic costumes, the architectural styles of 24 villages, and various folk performances, which are dazzling.
Its 24 villages were all built in a 1:1 ratio, giving people an immersive feeling. The architectural styles of the ethnic minority villages are even more unique, including the stone villages of the Buyi people, the wooden houses of the Mosuo people, the bamboo houses of the Dai people, the yurts of the Mongolian people, the Lama temples of the Tibetan people, etc. People take photos from time to time.
There are many activities in the park that you can experience firsthand, such as black-sailed boats, wooden paper boats, Dulong zip lines, horseback riding, archery, etc. The performance schedule and performance introduction can be found in the official website link in advance.

There are many different performances in each area, and each performance is very exciting. The performances at each time are different and it is worth going again. The performances at each festival are also different. You can walk through the park in one day, but the place is large and there are many performances, so you can't see them all in one day. |

The beach is packed with people, and you can form a "human sand painting" with strangers just by lying down; when the waves come, the slippers can run faster than their owners, so it is recommended to practice the "jumping on one foot to chase the shoes" stunt in advance. No matter how thickly you apply sunscreen, you can still find a new skin colour when you get home and directly unlock the same colour as "Oreo". What’s even more amazing is the public shower area – the water flow is so small that you’ll wonder if you’re playing a “dripping water escape” game! |
Xichong, also known as "Xichong", is located at the southern end of Dapeng Peninsula in Shenzhen and is a suitable place for vacation. Xichong currently offers a number of recreational activities, including swimming, fishing, setting off fireworks, speedboat trips, beach barbecues, bonfire parties, flying sky lanterns, and crossing the Dongxi Chong River. Among them, setting off fireworks and releasing sky lanterns are more recommended, which are very romantic.

Xichong Beach is a gift from nature! The golden beach stretching for kilometres is fine and soft, and it is extremely comfortable to walk barefoot. The crystal clear sea water shimmers like an emerald green and the sight of waves caressing the shore is both healing and romantic. This place is not only suitable for swimming and surfing, but it is also breathtakingly beautiful at sunset - the sunset dyes the sea surface orange and red, and every shot is a blockbuster. The surrounding facilities are complete, with showers and dining options available, and the staff are friendly. Whether it is a family trip or a date, Xichong can bring a perfect experience, and it is worthy of being the most worthwhile treasure beach in Shenzhen!. |
