Location & Transportation
The Pyramids Of Giza at Shenzhen World Window is tucked inside a massive theme park in Nanshan District, Shenzhen. The address is straightforward: 9037 Shennan Road, right next to the iconic Happy Valley theme park. To get here, take Metro Line 1 and hop off at OCT Station—it’s a 10-minute walk (or a quick bike ride) from the exit. If you’re driving, there’s ample parking, but weekends can get busy. Buses like 43, 54, or 66 drop you close by too.
Natural Landscape
Even though it’s a miniature replica, The Pyramids Of Giza looks surprisingly real! The three pyramids are made with detailed stone textures, and they’re surrounded by lush greenery and fake desert sand to mimic Egypt’s vibe. At night, lights illuminate the pyramids, creating a mystic atmosphere. While it’s not the real deal, the scale and design still make it a cool photo backdrop.
Cultural Highlights
This isn’t just about rocks—The Pyramids Of Gita celebrates ancient Egyptian history! You’ll spot tiny replicas of Sphinx statues and even a mock “Nile River” with little boats. The park adds fun touches, like hieroglyph-themed signs and staff dressed as pharaohs. Kids (and adults!) love posing as royalty here. Nearby, check out the Egyptian-themed gift shop for souvenirs like mini pyramids or costume accessories.
Practical Tips
- Tickets: Entry to Shenzhen World Window includes access to The Pyramids Of Gita (around ¥200/person).
- Restrooms & Wi-Fi: Clean facilities and free Wi-Fi across the park.
- Food: The park has Egyptian-inspired snacks (falafel, baklava) and regular Chinese fast-food options.
- Accessibility: Ramps and wide paths make it easy for strollers or wheelchairs.
Visiting Experience
Tours of The Pyramids Of Gita take about 20-30 minutes, but you’ll want to snap photos or watch the light shows. Mornings are less crowded, but evenings offer better lighting. Combine this stop with other World Window attractions like the Taj Mahal model or Eiffel Tower replica for a full day of travel-without-leaving-Shenzhen!
Pro tip: Avoid weekends if you hate crowds. And don’t miss the cultural performances near the pyramids—they’re short but fun!
