China being one of the world's oldest civilizations, is located in the Eastern Asia, bordering the East China Sea, Korea Bay, Yellow Sea, and South China Sea, between North Korea and Vietnam.

Shenzhen is a city of Guangdong province in Southern China. Being located at the border with Hong Kong, Due to it’s location that gives Shenzhen a geographical advantage for economic development, it has become one of the fastest growing cities in China.

The boy in the picture was taken in a place called Splendid China (锦绣中华) – its miniature scenic area covers an area of 300,000 square meters. It collects 82 different miniatures of Chinese famous ancient buildings, landscapes and residential houses which reflect the Chinese history and culture of 5000 years. All of these spots are made on a scale of 1:15 and laid to replicate their locations on China map. Additionally, there are over 50,000 terra cotta figures positioned in different spots to enhance the models' original flavor.

I was actually watching the folk dance show and there the children were sitting just beside me. So I took out my camera and great enough, he actually poses it for me. Handsome boy with a very good smile.
