PHOTO: China's Global village; visit world's most famous landmarks in aday



Every day, thousands of travelers flock to the world's most recognizable sites, but there's a place where visitors can see 130 famous landmarks in one day - if they walk quickly.
Shenzen, in southern China, is home to Window of the World, a 480,000-square-meter miniature 'global village' theme park.
Here, skyscrapers peek over the splendid temples of Cambodia's Angkor Wat and just beyond, apartment blocks have a view of the Tower of London and the Champs Elysees.
In a whistle-stop tour, visitors can see the Statue of Liberty and Sydney Harbor Bridge before lunch, then take a leisurely stroll to Mount Fuji before stopping in to throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain and admire the architecture of Gaudi's Parque Guell.

As in Paris, the Eiffel Tower dominates the skyline, and nearby, the Palace of Versailles and the Pyramids jostle for attention.

The Manhattan skyline - where certain events of 2001 apparently never happened - is a stone's throw from Mount Rushmore. 
Recently, Chinese have become  the world's biggest tourism spenders, but for those who cannot afford the real thing, this park offers the opportunity to start the day in London, lunch in Paris and a watch the sun set over the Sydney Opera House.
