The Overseas Chinese Town Tourism Resort is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction.

Located along the picturesque South China Sea and Shenzhen Bay, Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town Tourism Resort spans six square kilometers of land that is perpetually adorned with blooming flowers and shaded by verdant trees. It hosts China’s most densely clustered ensemble of cultural theme parks, themed hotels, and artistic venues. Recognized as one of China’s first batch of 5A-level tourist attractions, one of the first national civilized scenic spots, and a national-level cultural industry demonstration base, it stands as a radiant urban emblem of "Shenzhen—the City of Splendor and Joy."

Centered around four major theme parks—Splendid China, China Folk Culture Village, Window of the World, and Happy Valley—Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town Tourism Resort has formed China’s largest and most prominent cluster of theme parks, receiving an average of 8 million visitors annually.

Opened in 1989, Splendid China is a grand showcase and condensed representation of five thousand years of Chinese history and culture, as well as the vast 9.6 million square kilometers of the country’s landscapes. With its magnificent concept of “stepping into history in one stride, touring all of China in a single day,” it is hailed as a groundbreaking masterpiece that pioneered man-made landscapes in China.

China Folk Culture Village is China’s first large-scale cultural tourism destination that integrates the folk arts, customs, and architectural styles of various ethnic groups. Its rich tapestry of “twenty-five villages, fifty-six ethnic flavors” has earned it the reputation of being the “Museum of Chinese Folk Culture.”

Window of the World in Shenzhen promotes the essence of world cultures, encompassing global garden art, folk customs, traditional dances, large-scale performances, and high-tech entertainment. Since its opening, it has remained the top-tier tourist attraction in the Pearl River Delta region.

“Dynamic, stylish, and passionate,” Shenzhen Happy Valley is guided by the philosophy of creating, sharing, and spreading joy. It leads the development direction of modern theme parks in China and serves as the foundational and flagship site for the nationwide chain of Happy Valley parks under Overseas Chinese Town.

Successfully launched in 2011, OCT Harbor adopts a marine culture theme, follows eco-friendly principles, features innovative commercial offerings, and pursues the vision of creating a healthy urban coastal lifestyle. It is committed to becoming the most internationally stylish urban entertainment destination.
