Beijing World Park

Beijing World Park

Beijing World Park () is located in southwestern Fengtai District, and is about 17 kilometers from the City center and 40 kilometers from the Capital International Airport. The park opened in 1993 and is estimated to receive 1.5 million visitors annually.

The park displays about 100 tourist attractions in a scaled-down version from nearly 50 countries around the world, including the Tower Bridge in London, the Eiffel tower in Paris, pyramids in Egypt, as well as the Twin Towers in New York, which were destroyed on September 11th, 2001.

Besides world's famous attractions, the park also offers cultural activities.

During the 2008 Summer Olympics, it was selected as one of the three protest zones.
