【Shenzhen】Splendid China Folk Village

Adjacent to Window of the World, Splendid China Folk Village combines two immersive zones: "Splendid China" features 82 miniature landmarks arranged as a walkable 3D map, from the Potala Palace to the Li River karst peaks, while "Folk Culture Village" showcases architectural gems of 56 ethnic groups—Dong drum towers, Dai bamboo houses—built by indigenous artisans using ancestral techniques. The air hums with cultural vitality: Miao silversmiths hammering jewelry, Li weavers threading brocade, and Uyghur musicians chanting Muqammelodies.

Cultural immersion defines the experience. Afternoons ignite with the Dai Water Splashing Festival, where visitors join locals in watery blessings; the Oriental Costume Showtraces 5,000 years of Chinese aesthetics through 500 garments; and the nighttime Dragon and Phoenix Dancemerges fire jets, aerial acrobatics, and revolving stages to animate myths like Nuwa mending the sky. Hands-on workshops—batik dyeing, pottery throwing—complement tea ceremonies in ancient-style teahouses. Founded in the 1980s cultural revival, this living museum embodies China's ethos of "unity in diversity".
