The 20 best theme parks and amusement parks near Shenzhen

The zoo needs to be updated and the animals need more care. The park itself is huge so I recommend renting a scooter to take you around everywhere. You could spend at least 4 hours here seeing all the animals. They have 2 pandas that we saw today but we didn't get to see any of the tigers. The best part of the park is you can pay about $3 to feed elephants and giraffes! Totally worth it!

A very beautiful zoo with many animals. The entrance fee is 200 yuan per adult. You can rent a car on site, which costs around €7 per hour. I would definitely recommend doing that because the park is very large and spread out. What immediately caught my attention, though, was that some of the enclosures were far too small — especially for the monkeys. It’s really sad to see the poor animals in such conditions. Another issue is that many visitors throw food at the animals. For example, they buy corn on site and throw it into the enclosures. I’ve never seen anything like that in Germany. This kind of behavior should be stopped. Other than that, it’s a very beautiful park and we really enjoyed our visit.

A big zoo near Shenzhen city center. Entrance fare is around 200RMB. There are a lot of animals inside, especially there 2 pandas. The sea world however are not so many fish or sea animals. The place is quite old and need an upgrade.

The animals here definitely need better care and the place needs updating. I really recommend renting the scooters to explore the park. I believe it was 100 yuan per hour. Exploring the entire park by foot is doable but the park is HUGE so renting scooters will definitely help make it a better experience. We used them on and off for 3 or 4 hours. The cool thing about this place is the ability to feed some of the animals. We got to feed elephants, giraffes, and Tigers, and pigs but there were more animals you could feed as well as long as you're willing to pay about 20-30 yuan per food for animal. Be prepared with your wallets though. We had a lady put parrots on our shoulders and take some pictures of us before demanding we pay them 40 yuan or 20 yuan per bird. It all happened so fast we weren't even told the price til after they put the birds on us. When feeding animals like the pigs I noticed quite a few of them were severely sun burnt to the point their skin was peeling off and some were bleeding. We walked into an area where you can view insects and most of them were dead and had mold rotting on their bodies. It looks as though they weren't fed or cared for at all for weeks or months. The same thing with the jellyfish enclosure. Many of them were dead though it was harder to tell unless you looked closely. A lot of the monkeys looked quite depressed too in small cages. I saw an ostrich who was so stressed it had pulled its own feathers off its behind. Not sure what happened to the dolphins that were advertised here. You can tell the animals who make them money like the Tigers, bears, and lions get bigger enclosures and more care. The ponies and camels you can ride also looked in distress sometimes. Their legs looked in pain as they had to stand in place for long periods on concrete. It was a very hot day as well and no water was provided for them. I dont recommend supporting this place. Wish I had spent my time and money elsewhere. Pictures of the conditions some of the animals were in attached.

Zoo worth to go. Recommend to rent the golf cart then you will have a more enjoyable trip. If you want to feed the tiger, you will need to go earlier for queuing.

Great experience for the kids to see lots of animals in one place. Don’t miss the bus trip to see the animal. Recommend to have scoother (120 rmb/hr capacity of 3) or mutiple cart ticket (40 rmb/person) as the area is huge. Buy park ticket online is cheaper than spot buying 200 rmb.

You pay 200 yuan to enter which is a reasonable price for a zoo, but then you expect that you will be able to do at least basic things for free like the train, the safari and basically everything. It’s a shame how this park is really squeezing every yuan out of everyone’s pocket. On top of that many animal cages are way too small and are not properly suited for the animals they have. On top of that it’s also the task of the zoo and the zookeepers to feed the animals the appropriate food and the appropriate amount of food. But in this zoo people are just throwing garbage food at the animal 24/7, which makes the animals sick.

One of the main attractions in Shenzhen, and a must-see. I think four hours is the minimum for a tour and that's without a break. There are several restaurants as well as souvenir shops, open shows...

Love this place! You can spend around 200 to 300 Chinese yuan to hire a guide at the gate of the place, they’ll tell you about the history and culture in those buildings. The trip is wonderful and educational, and you can get a bunch of amazing photos there, highly recommend!!!!

If you go to Shenzhen, you must visit this place. You will explore the world, they will give a passport with 30RNB.

A Really interesting Theme Park. As the name suggests, this highly rated (by travellers) large theme park [almost 120 acres/50 hectares] features reproductions of iconic tourist attractions found around he world [from 31 countries]!! One can see such attractions as the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt, or the Taj Mahal-- or nature's wonders including the Niagara Falls and Kenya's safari Parks! It was built 25 years ago... and has proven to be interesting to many visitors. It can be readily reached by public transportation. Seniors (over 65) receive a 50% discount-- and for those over 70 entry is free. I hope that this Review has been helpful.

Wonderful park with lots of interesting things.

constructed more for mainland chinese visitors, nothing much for foreign tourists. miniature monuments of world famous structure all in one place.

So many replicas of famous places. You will require full day to visit all of them with all attractions

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Splendid China Folk Village is a theme park including two areas (Splendid China Miniature Park & China Folk Culture Village) located in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. The park's theme reflects the history, culture, art, ancient architecture, customs and habits of various nationalities. It is one of the world's largest scenery parks in the amount of scenarios reproduced. The park is developed and managed by the major travel and tourist corporation, China Travel Service. Splendid China is situated by the Shenzhen Bay in a tourist area of Overseas Chinese Town (OCT) in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone. Over 100 major tourist attractions have been miniaturized and laid out according to the map of China. Most attractions have been reduced on a scale of 1:15. It is divided into Scenic Spot Area and Comprehensive Service Area. The entire park covers 30 hectares. There are cars and trains to transport visitors around the park, making it possible to visit the Great Wall of China, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Three Gorges Dam, Potala Palace and the Terracotta Army in one day. The park also hosts several shows depicting various events in Chinese History (e.g. a horse riding show depicting a battle led by Genghis Khan), Chinese Cultural Show, etc. Some of the shows are only performed on weekends.

The way you are exploiting these beautiful creatures is truly disgusting e.g. the poor polar bear Pezoo is held in 30square meters of glas and concrete since his birth. He has never smelled fresh air, seen sunlight or met another polar bear. He is never left alone, in peace as he is always surrounded by people. Would you enjoy this kind of life? Why do you do this to animals?? FREE PEZOO

Enough space and easy to reach, but it can be hard to access the roads and way in during rush hours.

Beautiful beach and aquarium

This is a historically important typhoon shelter constructed after the devastating 1874 typhoon. While today, it shelters more yachts and leisure boats compared to the sampans of the old days, it has long been a place visitors have come to enjoy views of the harbour and to see the boats in shelter. It is also the location of the historical noonday gun. This autumn, the promenade area at the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter was revitalised and reopened with brick surface walking space, landscaping, seating spots and installations that are child and family friendly. This is part of a larger scale project to create more waterfront space along Victoria Harbour for residents and visitors to enjoy and something those staying in Causeway Bay can look forward to seeing.

I have been to this place just so that it takes me quite a while to find the underground tunnel to reach this place. Better ask around if you need advice

Just a review from a viewpoint of a photographer. It’s a great location to catch a sunset

As much as we hated seeing the mess left over after the typhoon the various junks which were moored for safe keeping in the weather have us some excellent sights to see. The weather held up and after walking through victoria park which was thick with downed trees we crossed the bridge and wandered asking the edge of the breakwater shelter where they were starting to move their boats back out

You can take a very nice night view at Causeway bay Hong Kong

Different decorations in different festivals

Pleasant walk

Horrible place where animals are being held in terrible conditions- small spaces, dirty and suffering from heat. Ugly toilet smell everywhere, that place is looking like falling apart and definitely need an attention from animal protection organizations

This place is torture for animals! Poor polar bear in a small enclosure (30 square meters) and he's loosing his mind and has never seen light! This place needs to be shut down ASAP!

Great place! Nicely kept animals

Nice

Poor!

(Translated by Google) Located in Xiaomeisha, it takes about 10 minutes from the subway to the entrance. It is located next to the MGM Hotel, and the surrounding area is full of construction sites. There are 2 restaurants in the park, one serves staple food (prices are reasonable), and the other serves burgers. There is also a food kiosk serving snacks. Because there were many students visiting today, the escalator was temporarily suspended and the elevator did not have clear signage, which was very inconvenient for visitors with limited mobility! Overall, Ocean World is worth recommending. There are many types of fish in the park, especially jellyfish. The murals are also very beautiful. It can be seen that they were painted with great care. After taking pictures, you can feel that it is hard to distinguish between real and fake! There seems to be a guide in the park to explain the species and characteristics of fish to you (I don’t know if it’s a reservation or a special arrangement on the day). (Original) 位於小梅沙，從地鐵行去入口約10餘分鐘，就位於美高梅酒店旁，附近一帶都是建築地盤。 園內有2間餐廳，一間提供主食（價錢尚算合理），而另外一間則以漢堡飽為主，亦有小食亭供應小食。 是日由於有很多學生参觀，所以扶手電梯暫停運作而電梯卻沒有清晰指示牌，對於行動不方便嘅遊人較為不便！ 整體而言，海洋世界還是很值得推介的，園內魚的種類有很多，尤其水母，壁畫亦很美，看得出是非常用心去畫的，拍照後亦有一種真假難分嘅感覺！ 園內似有導賞員為您講解魚嘅品種及特性（不知是否預約或是當日嘅特別安排）。

For general overview and understanding about a small glimpse of China provinces and all the tribes and their cultures, pretty much impressive! Big area, but very much walkable. Altho they also have train, horse carriage, golf rides for rental. There’s also wooden boat 🛶 on the river where they put dramatic foggy around… some areas has come with proper restaurants which is very great and there are also some shows. Very green areas and well maintained. Ticket cost RMB220 per person, there’s also locker room at front where you can store your jacket and bags.

In short, come here only if you have time to kill. The area is very rundown, many of the sections were either closed off, or were under construction. For example, the animal enclosures were all empty, the treetop walk was closed, and what was supposed to be a mini waterpark was empty and cordoned off. Sure, there are activities within the park. However, your ticketed entrance does not cover them, you have to pay as you go. This turned out to be a disappointing 200RMB walk in the park. Splendid indeed.

This is a very beautiful Park about the historic buildings of China. After Sunset the Park looks quiet different with the beautiful lights. You can also watch many different dance shows with all the traditional clothes from all over the country. This is a place you have to See in Shenzhen.

This Theme park is wonderful! You can visit the miniature version of most of the sights and attractions all around China, in one spot! And even more! The Show of the Mongolian horse men and the dance show in the Theather are trully, really amazing, it is definetly a must to see!

When you are in Shenzhen you must visit this park it is show case of Chinese culture and architecture of different geographical area and ethnic group within China.

Amazing hideout in serenity for a perfect weekend. Quite,, pollution free,, good range of eateries and hotels around the area.

If you have time or small children, our recommendation is to visit this place!

It's not worth coming here. This aquarium is very small and has very few fish species. Most of the visitors are young girls who want to take photos and post them on social media. There are day and night sessions with different prices. The night is 45 RMB per person.

Oct Bay is a nice place to spend your evening! Good views and restaurants.

The worst aquarium I have ever been to in my life, it is too small that you can make it literally in 5 min
