B: I think traveling is a great opportunity to meet new people, gain more knowledge and experience, and learn new customs and traditions. I personally like traveling, and if I had the chance to travel overseas for two weeks, I would like to visit China, which is located in the northern part of Asia region. There are a lot of beautiful landscapes in the country, such as mountains, hills and valleys which are well known for their purity and originality.

I have visited many historical places like Machu Picchu in Peru, The Pyramids at Giza, Taj Mahal, Parthenon in Greece and many more.

The historical place that I would like to talk about today is Colosseum (also known as Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre) which is situated in Rome, Italy.

Itʼs a Small World
This week, in our series on the worldʼs most famous theme parks, we are visiting The Window of the World theme park in Shenzhen, China.
This certainly is a theme park with a difference. The Window of the World contains over 130 replicas of the most famous natural and man-made sites in the world, all squeezed onto about 480,000 square metres. Some of the replicas are the actual size of the sites while others are smaller. In one afternoon, you can visit the Eiffel Tower, walk around the Grand Canyon and marvel at the Egyptian Pyramids. The Acropolis is here along with Niagara Falls. One of the most interesting features of the park is International Street, which features Islamic Street, where you can see mosques, buildings and markets that look exactly like those found in the Arab world.
ʼWe want visitors to see and experience places and cultures they may not be able to actually get to in person. Not everyone can visit every famous landmark in the world in one lifetime and that is why this park is attractive to many visitors, both Chinese nationals and foreigners,ʼ commented Mr Chin, one of the managers.
The Window of the World theme park combines both fun and education. There are regular exhibitions about famous people in history, and the park often holds festivals which focus on different countries and cultural themes. Visitors also have the opportunity to try out food from all over the world in one of the many restaurants.
ʼThis week we are holding Indian Week,ʼ explained one of the organisers. ʼVisitors can learn all about Indian culture, customs and traditions. We are offering Indian food all week and there is also a special exhibition on famous Indians in history.ʼ
Visitors to the park not only have the opportunity to see many famous sites and learn a lot about different world cultures, but they also have the chance to take part in many adventure trips in the park.
ʼWe are waiting to go down the Colorado River by boat and some friends of ours are skiing in the Alpine Ski Resort,ʼ said one visitor. ʼWe actually come from Shenzhen and we think this park is a great benefit for our region. We will probably never be able to visit all of these places ourselves, so it is really interesting for us. Some friends of ours are visiting us next week from the USA and we are going to bring them to see the park, too!ʼ
In this theme park it really is a “small world”!
