Travelling to Beijing World Park

Travelling to Beijing World Park is not that hard. You can take the bus, subway or taxi. But I don't really recommend taxis since it is more expensive than taking other public transportation.



You can take the any of the public bus with numbers T7, 477, 480, 692, 967, 969, 840, 913, or 959 and get off at Shi Jie Gong Yuan station. Walk for a minute and you'll be inside the park.


You can also take the subway. For me it is more convenient. Especially that it's winter and it's hard to stay outdoor when it's -5 degrees. Go to the nearest subway station and take subway Line 9 going to Guogongzhuang Station. Exit at Guogongzhuang Station and alk for around 400 meters to the park. 



We were staying in Wangfujing area and took us roughly 1 hour to reach the park by subway. We took subway Line 1 Wangfujing Station going to Pingquoyuan. Get off at Military Museum Station and transferred to Line 9 going to Guogongzhuang Station.

Right outside Guogongzhuang Station, we saw a vendor selling some chinese crepe-like wrap with sausage with veggies. We bought to try and it was so delicious. We bought another two again before we took the train going back to the hotel. And we really like it.



Look at the smile on his face. Haha

Entrance to Beijing World Park
Beijing World Park 北京世界公園 is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Beijing, China since it opened in 1993. It covers 46.7 hectares of land and has different sections featuring 109 famous attractions from 40 countries across the world. The "replicas" of the world's famous sites are either in full size or small scale of the original.


Inside the park you will be able to see the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Statue of Liberty, Sydney Opera House, India's Taj Mahal, Burma's Shwedagon Pagoda, Cambodia's Angkor Wat, the Temple of Luxor, the Red Square of Russia and a whole lot more.

The park offers train ride if you don't want to walk for 3 to 5 hours. The train ride costs CNY 20 per person that will tour you around the park.

Visiting this park was just a wonderful experience for us. But off course, seeing the original are still way better than replicas. I'm looking forward to really see the real thing in the future!
