Carton King Creativity Park, located in Zhouzhuang, Jiangsu province, is a magic paper-themed park where all the facilities, accessories and souvenirs are made of cardboard.
Some different sub-exhibits in Carton King Creativity Park offer visitors a dazzling display of extraordinary paper arts such as Cartoon Story House, Honey Story House and the Creativity Restaurant.
Walking into the Cartoon Story House, one will be astonished by vivid paper crafts including paper lamps, paper windmills, paper models and paper stationery. Honey Story House sells honey products and the display cabinet made of paper is in the shape of a honeycomb. Inside the garden, there is a themed restaurant, cafe and souvenir shop for the patrons. All the tables and chairs in the themed restaurant are made of paper. Through the paper curtain, visitors can also witness several world renowned architectures in 3D paper carving.
Some scenic spots in Zhouzhuang have been reproduced into small models made of pure corrugated paper, such as Quanfu Tower and the Twin Bridges, as well as tables, chairs, stools, censers and sculptures of the God of Wealth, all of which show off a vivid "Zhouzhuang in paper".
