Grand World Scenic Park

Grand World Scenic Park, Amusement and miniature park in Dongpu, Tianhe District of Guangzhou, China

Grand World Scenic Park is a derelict former amusement and miniature park in Dongpu, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, covering 48 hectares. Opened in 1995, it held 1:1 replicas of buildings from over 100 countries plus six theatres and four ride zones. It closed in 2009; most structures are now in disrepair and the site has been taken back by the government for redevelopment.

Grand World Scenic Park opened on 18 October 1995, part of the miniature-landscape boom started by Shenzhen's Window of the World, with reported investment of 600 million yuan. It drew 43,000 visitors on 8 March 1996, a national record at the time. Declining interest and debt problems from 1997 led to shrinking theatre shows, two failed auctions in 2005, and indefinite closure in June 2009. The government took back the land in 2022.

The park displays miniature replicas of famous buildings from cultures and periods around the world. Visitors can see various architectural styles in one location and understand how construction and design differ across different regions.

The park closed indefinitely in June 2009 and most attractions are in disrepair; the site is private property managed by Guangzhou Grand World Co. and trespassers are chased off by guards. Part of the grounds is rented out for wedding and commercial photography and some space is let as offices. The land was taken back by the government in 2022 and redevelopment is planned, so access is not open to the public.

The park now serves partly as a wedding photography venue, with couples using the themed areas and miniature landscapes as backdrops for their shoots. This secondary purpose has given the space a fresh role beyond its original function as a tourist attraction.
