China - Shenzhen - Splendid China theme park and modern metropolis

Scaled history from the 'Splendid China' model village and modern architecture in the Shenzhen metropolis, China. With a foreground of China's history represented by a classical dynasty constructed in wood and the looming presence of the modern concrete city - the materials separated by thousands of years. We see some of the 50,000 ceramic figures and scenes from a period in Chinese history and further away, a modern corporate building in the metropolis contrasting with ancient, traditional architecture. Splendid China is an attraction at the Overseas Chinese Town, Shenzhen that has scaled down replicas of China's historical buildings, wonderful scenes and folk customs. The scale models are of a 1:15 with 100 miniaturized landmarks such as The Terracotta Warriors; Great Wall; Forbidden City; Old Summer Palace etc. all laid out according to their geographic locations.
