Splendid China Folk Village in Shenzhen is spot on that “visit one place, see all of mini China” vibe.
Over 100 detailed models of famous landmarks and attractions, a stroll around lets you take in the sights and snap photos for a full experience, especially if you haven't had the chance to visit many Chinese cities.
The ethnic village area with activities, architecture, and traditional costumes of all 56 ethnic groups is pretty lively too, Vietnamese visitors reckon you should set aside at least half a day to see it properly.
If you're going in the arvo, time it for the big cultural shows around 5 pm – music, dance, spectacular performances are the highlight that heaps of people reckon are “worth the ticket price”.
Overall, it's a big, clean theme park that's well-maintained, perfect for families and mates, lets you explore and learn about Chinese culture without it feeling as dry as a museum.
