The Window of the World ({{lang-zh|s=世界之窗|t=世界之窗|p=Shìjiè zhī Chuāng|j=sai3 gaai3 zi1 coeng1}}) is a theme park located in the western part of the city of Shenzhen in the People's Republic of China. It has about 130 reproductions of some of the most famous tourist attractions in the world squeezed into 48 hectares (118 acres). The 108 metre (354 ft) tall Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline and the sight of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal all in proximity to each other are all part of the appeal of this theme park.

Transportation

The Window of the World Station on Line 1 and Line 2 of the Shenzhen Metro is located directly in front of the park. The Happy Line monorail has a stop near Window of the World.

Monorail and open cars runs inside the park.

In media

The film The World by Jia Zhangke is based entirely in the park and portrays a love story of multiple performers.

In his autobiographical graphic novel Shenzhen, Guy Delisle visits the park with a Chinese acquaintance. The Park was a destination of The Amazing Race 28.
