Guangzhou Cultural Park 广州文化公园

Guangzhou Cultural Park is a multifunctional park that combines entertainment, sightseeing and exhibitions. Covering 83,000 square meters on the banks of the Pearl River, it boasts as its major attraction a traditional southern China garden design with 18 courtyards adorned with statues and relief sculptures, many depicting Chinese legends and modern city scenes. Another highlight of the park is the Han City, a mini-replica of a Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) city. The gharries (horse-drawn carriages), costumes, etiquette, sculptures and furniture show the lifestyle and culture of Han people in China. Life-like wax figures and bas-reliefs of famous Han Dynasty figures can also be admired in the park.
