Development Characteristics

  • Culture and Innovation Are the Main Power to Lead Development

The reason why Window of the World can develop steadily in the highly competitive theme park market and become the best tourist scenic spot in China is that it takes culture and innovation as its core competitiveness. By 2006, the number of the scenic spots in the Window of the World has increased from 108 to more than 130; cultural theme activities are involved in the three golden weeks and the peak seasons; the top ten tourist participatory entertainment projects are packaged with culture, which forms the unique characteristics of the Window of the World.
 

  • Participatory Entertainment Projects Highlight the Cultural Charm Of Scenic Spots

In July 1999, Window of the World creatively made use of the existing resources of the scenic area to embark on the Colorado Adventure Rafting packaged with theme culture. As soon as the project was published, it was very popular with tourists, and all the investment was recovered within 20 months. Then in July 2000, the Alps Ski Resort, the first large-scale indoor real snow ski resort in China, was published in the Window of the World. With the European snow mountain culture as the background, it is not only favored by young tourists but also attracts many Hong Kong tourists to ski regularly. And items, like Through the Amazon Jungle which is the world’s longest electric slide, the first domestic 4D digital high-tech cinema with a 240-degree cylindrical ring screen, Asia’s first-class panoramic global stage, the Jurassic Dinosaur World, and the Inca City where you can explore the ancient civilization of South America, were also successively published in the Window of the World.
