5 Best Day Trips from Hong Kong

"Stretching across 75 acres, Splendid China claims to be the world’s largest “miniature” park, featuring about 80 Chinese landmarks. The park drops travelers into a quirky, albeit contrived, wonderland of Chinese culture, like a CliffsNotes version of China. Zooming through the many dynasties, regions, villages, and landscapes within an hour or two proves a whirlwind of an afternoon. The miniatures have been meticulously constructed to mirror the originals: Expect to be amazed by the detail of the Forbidden City, Terracotta Army, Summer Palace, and various drum towers." - Kate Springer
