There's another theme park just next to Window of the World which focus more on China's own cultural and history instead of international monuments. The Splendid China is a much more recommended theme park than the neighbour i.e. Window of the World, primarily due to the showcase of history and cultural of different ethnic groups in China, which is much more interesting and educating.

The 74 acre theme park is separated into two main area, one which is the Miniature Park which has more than 100 famous destinations in China, shrink into miniature size while the other area is the Chinese Folk Cultural Village where various cultural shows will be performed.

The Splendid China has less local tourists as compared to Window of the World, perhaps the locals are not interested with their local culture since they themselves are the locals. The entrance fee is the same as Window of the World, i.e. RMB180 (RM103) per pax, but given what it has to offer. Online reviews are better than the Window of the World as well.

Splendid China is definitely recommended if you are interested in Chinese culture and history. Although it might not be 100% accurate in representing the country, it will more or less provide you enough knowledge for your personal visit at the exact locations. Entrance fee is pricey in my opinion but justified by the huge maintenance cost required.
