China’s Cultural Theme ParkRicky and Lucy, two American tourists,
are part of a tour group visiting the Folk
Culture Villages in Shenzhen. This
Chinese theme park shows the homes,
temples and dress of more than twenty
minority groups in China.
GUIDE: Which village do you want to
see first? There are twenty-
five villages here, and they
are all life-size, so we have to
make some choices.
RICKY: What I really want to do
is eat some of the food that
Naxi women are making ov
er there. We got up very ea
rly this morning and didn’t
have any breakfast.
GUIDE: OK, but hurry up, because
we want to see at least half of
the villages before noon. We
mustn’t miss the Uyghur
cultural dances and the Dai
singing in the afternoon.
LUCY: I hope we have time to see
some of the things that the
people are making. I’d love
to get some of that beautiful
Miao cloth for my mother.
GUIDE: I think you’ll also enjoy
seeing the different styles of
houses. They show the
environments that people
live in as well as the various
cultures.
RICKY: I’d like to see the homes of
the Bai people. I heard some
where that the Bai people do
beautiful work in wood and t
heir buildings are amazing.
LUCY: Oh, look! Are those coconut trees real? It looks like Hainan! And look down there – that bridge looks like the ones we saw in Suzhou. Hurry up and eat, Ricky! We’ve lots to see and I know you’ll want to eat again later.
RICKY: Ha! I know you’ll want to shop again later!
