For those Orlandoians, you may remember a little theme park just west of Disney's main entrance called Splendid China. This theme park had all the wonderous sites of China. . . in miniature. It included such things as the Terra Cotta Warriors, the Forbidden City, and even the Great Wall of China that was only half a mile long. Sadly, Splendid China closed it's doors in 2003 to auction off all pieces (including the Great Wall) in 2004.
Well guess what!?! SPLENDID CHINA LIVES!!!

Not only does it LIVE but it lives in China, of all places! Yesterday, Angela (another Orlandoian) and I braved the 90+ heat and went.


And look! There's even the mini-Great Wall!



The closest I'll come to the real Great Wall will be Beijing. Hopefully, we will go there. . . but for now, enjoy mini-China pics!
