Beijing World Park (Beijing Expo Park) in Fengtai District of Beijing's southwest is a mini-landscape theme park in Asia. These grounds span almost 47 hectares, arranged in the shape of a world map, with five continental areas dotted with scaled-down versions of over 100 iconic buildings from over 40 countries — including the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, the Taj Mahal and the Sydney Opera House. A multicultural stage, fairy tale scenes and an international food street complete a place that is equally popular among the general public, students and photo lovers.

Smart Planning Tips:
1. Pre-booking online is strongly recommended, especially during Golden week, school holidays and weekend peak hours.
2. Present ID and digital or printed ticket for access at gate.
3. Hire electric sightseeing carts, audio guides, located near the entrance; in peak seasons availability is limited.
4. Bring a pair of comfortable walking shoes, as there is a lot of walking involved while covering the entire length of the park, which is not flat and has varied walkable terrain.
What Guests Are Saying
Feedback from Beijing Expo Park regarding the experience was overwhelmingly positive, and the visitors overwhelmingly described the exact detail and scale of the miniature recreations as the highlight of the visit. The European area - the Eiffel Tower and Colosseum replicas mainly - and the pavilions of Asia are the ones that catch the most pictures. Visitors of all ages applaud the multicultural dances and acrobatics. Most of the criticism from the reviews is about "crowded" popular sight areas during popular times, and some tourists suggest that it would be better for visitors to arrive early during opening hours to get "the best views". On-site International Street is generally a nice rest stop.
