   I guess the writer has never heard of Window of the world in Shenzhen.

   There should be a monument to the Ai Fen there too.

   My house looks like the houses in another city, so my house is a knock off those houses or the other houses are a knock off of my house.

   And they have a knock off the Luxor pyramid in Giza.

     There’s a tall building in the background of the five booths bridge picture, is that what you’re thinking of?

      You probably don’t know this because you didn’t go to school but the Chinese invented self-respect so stop being ignorant

    This article forgets to mention that people in the village work 7 days a week and have no vacations. That’s why the village built the tourist sites because the people do not have the luxury to travel to the actual places.

    Been there couple of times…..and to be honest…that place is really a ****hole…

    the “park” itself is an example of an abandoned theme park… …it was dirty, looked shabby…

    the “villas” or house…. well, to be fair….I’ve seen much better design in hangzhou or shenzhen…

    ….not to mention the complex that we stayed…the buildings surrounding the world largest bell(or something like that)… is a total joke for the richest village in china…

    sure…they are wealthy…but…they really need to re work the whole village to show that….as they advertised..

    all in all…..a very huge disappointment…for travelling…
