Splendid China Folk Village

A great place to experience a bit about the Chinese culture and history. One side of the park has miniature adaptations.of famous landmarks such as the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Terracotta Warriors and much more. The other side is more about the shows and you sometimes need to pay additional to watch them. You can easily spend a whole day here, but about 3 hours was enough for us as it was too hot

I came mainly for the opera show, and honestly, it was worth the trip on its own. I didn’t know what to expect — I’ve seen traditional Chinese performances before, but this one had a different kind of scale and energy. The staging, costumes, even the transitions between scenes — everything felt polished but still full of emotion. Even without fully understanding the language, I could feel the story through the movement and music. There were moments that felt intense, others poetic, and some just visually stunning. It didn’t feel like a tourist trap — more like a cultural performance that was actually meant to move you. I also had dinner inside the park. Food was nothing mind-blowing. Decent portions, clean place, and I didn’t have to fight through crowds to eat in peace, which was a nice surprise. If you’re into live performance and want a taste of something traditional but grand, the opera show here is worth seeing. Just don’t rush it — come early, eat there, and enjoy the vibe at your own pace.

In Shenzhen, we visited this park. Location is within walking distance from a metro station. Huge park featuring mini models of China’s famous monuments and nature spots. It is not crowded at all and tickets are very reasonably priced. Only set back is that it is not very maintained as some of the areas needed a new coat of paint and lots of fallen leaves everywhere.

Splendid china: One of the must go places when you are in shenzhen. Price was around 40 SGD per pax and we got our tickets from Trip.com. You might want to allocate 1 day for this attraction because there are so many things to see. We arrived at 11am and left around 8pm at night to enjoy the night scenery and shows. The buildings and props were slightly dated considering they were build in the 90s. Would highly recommend everyone to watch the lost dessert (at 2/2.30pm) and the night show (at 7.45pm). The shows are free and it was really worth it. My favourite is the lost desert because it was our first time watching an actual ancient china fighting scene where the actors and actresses wore ancient armours and rode horses to act out a show there. Food is available there (though at a steep price), would recommend getting a hot dumpling (it was huge) if you are on a tight budget at this place (fan lou) and it was really very filling for 10 RMB. Check out the menu from the pictures uploaded in this review. Would not recommend the stir fried river beef because it was too hard to chew on.

The shows and performances are quite good. The admission ticket price is not really worth it, as there are a lot of extra fee/cost for activities when you are inside. The workers in there are not too caring too. They don't volunteer any information and only answer specifically what you ask. If you watch the 430pm show, then you will miss a lot of activities as they close at 530pm even though the park closes at 10pm or something.

The ticket a bit expensive but if you want to spend the morning/day is worth it. Very good performances and very nice. Good chinease food.
