How Splendid is Splendid China

[MikeWazowski]

This place looks like a nice break from the hustle and bustle of WDW. I've passed Splendid China a few hundred times on past vacations and always wondered who actually went there.

But, now we are just looking for somthing different for our vacation. What do I need to know

I must admit to a real liking for SC, but it is the culture as much as the exhibits which do it for me. It is a very quiet place compared with other parks, but there is a lot of good explanation of the many and varied miniatures, and the shows are all very good (especially the big nightly Mysteries of China show). The food is so-so (unless you eat at the excellent Hong Kong Pearls), and it can be VERY hot, with few places to hide, in summer. It is worth investing in a guided tour also, as the park guides are extemely knowledgeable about China, the park and all the exhibits. It kind of fell into disrepair a few years back with a lack of investment, but the new management have made big strides to dity everything up and make sure this fascinating place is properly presented. I would make an afternoon and early evening of it (or an early morning and then return for the evening show in the height of summer). Check out their website at www.floridasplendidchina.com
