Window on China, Taipei

Window on China is a marvelous miniature world that was originally designed to provide an overview of traditional Chinese buildings in mainland China and Taiwan, as well as to illustrate modern Taiwanese architecture.




Replicas of Taiwanese architecture depict the entire history of the island from its early colonial period to the present.










Mini Kingdom contains more than 50 sets of miniature landscapes located in Asia, Europe, America, and Africa.
