(Splendid China is an attraction at the Overseas Chinese Town, Shenzhen that has scaled down replicas of China's historical buildings, wonderful scenes and folk customs. The scale models are in the main in a ratio of 1:15 and the exhibits are positioned to replicate their geographical locations.)
(China is a big and united family made up of 56 ethnic groups. Geographically speaking, they are distributed in different parts of China with the resulting difficulty of experiencing each ethnic group's architecture, their festivals and tasting their snacks during one of your visits. But the China Folk Cultural Village, lying at the Overseas Chinese Town, Shenzhen, will help solve this problem. It is the first spot in China where you can learn of the folk cultures of China.)

Kooralbyn Resort:
(Nested in the Gold Coast hinterland, Kooralbyn boasts rolling landscape, fresh waters and bountiful fauna and flora, first enjoyed by Aboriginal tribes more than 40,000 years ago. First European settlement in the area can be traced back to the 1830's when southern timber millers sought the quality hardwoods of the lower valleys. It was not until Australia's first major land booms in the 1840's that free settler pastoralists migrated to the region. Kooralbyn subsequently became one of the region's most significant pastoral estates, the land used largely for cattle grazing.)
