An imitation of the now-destroyed Yuanming Palace in Beijing that covers an area of 1.39 km². Inside the park there is also 80,000 m² of lake. Along the lake are many places to hire motor boats and pedelos. The park has many attractions from ancient emperors' artifacts and traditional Chinese architecture to cable cars and floating restaurants. It offers amazing photo opportunities with the mountains as a backdrop and there are many little pagodas to distract yourself with. In the evening, at the Northern side of the park, there are impressive stage shows depicting traditional Chinese dances and stories in a Broadway style musical presentation. This is a must-see. Also, in the Northern most part of the park there is a sea-battle re-enactment using real boats, explosions and also a troop of cavalry to add to the realism. The ticket prices for these shows are ¥85 for adults, ¥60 for persons aged over 65, and ¥60 for children with a height of 150cm or less who carry a student card. You also have the opportunity to dress in the Emperor's clothes and have your picture taken for ¥40, which is quite expensive. You are allowed to take the pictures with your own camera.
