Bucheon, City - Want to see the world in an hour? Visit the Ainns World, Korea’s version of Shenzen’s Windows of the World.
Aiins World is a theme park where miniature recreations of world famous buildings are on display. The miniatures at Aiins World were crafted with such painstaking attention to detail that visitors feel like they are looking at the real thing. People also feel as if they have taken a trip around the world all in one day.
Big Ben
The miniature version of the Great Wall of China and Mt. Kilimanjaro, blowing out smoke and ash, attracts many visitors with realistic models as well as sound effects. Other miniatures include the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center with its famous ice rink, and the street of Broadway in New York City. Aiins World lights up at night, creating a romantic and festive mood. Taking pictures next to some of the most famous structures in the world can be a rewarding experience and fun for everyone.
The Westminster Abbey
Compared to the one in China, the models here were relatively minuscule except for the Eiffel Tower, World Trade Center, and the ancient city of Petra. For me it is like an outdoor museum with dioramas. If you want to save money, try visiting the place from 5 PM onwards as the entrance fee is only KRW 5,000. Most of the models were quite tattered due to weathering. The management should do some minor refurbishing so as to maintain the satisfaction it can give to its visitors. I heard there is also a yearly pass and it was recommended by the Korean Ministry of Education as a place where elementary children can visit during their fieldtrips. If the administration will not do the necessary renovation, Ainns world might lose its recognition as an educational and worthwhile place to visit!
