The other day I went to a tourist attraction in Shenzhen called Windows of the World.\u00a0 There are models of all sorts of famous buildings, but one thing that took me by surprise was the \u5ba4\u5185\u6ed1\u96ea<\/strong> (indoor skiing) and a \u6ed1\u51b0\u573a<\/strong> (ice skating rink)!\u00a0 Luckily, there were \u9774\u5b50<\/strong> (boots) available for visitors who weren’t wearing appropriate footwear.\u00a0 I hadn’t expected to see a 10-ft tall \u6bd4\u8428\u659c\u5854<\/strong> (Leaning Tower of Pisa), and what appeared to be the \u4e1c\u65b9\u660e\u73e0<\/strong> (Pearl of the Orient) turned out to be a tower from Kuwait.\u00a0 The replica of the \u5723\u6bcd\u9662<\/strong> (Notre Dame Cathedral) was breathtakingly identical, but I cannot say that authenticity was consistent throughout the park.\u00a0 For example, the word “ALOHA” was painted on some \u6bdb\u5229<\/strong> (Maori) dwellings, and wood-carved necklaces bearing all 12 \u751f\u8096 were available for sale.<\/p>\n
