Tickets and booking
Tickets come in two sessions. Day tickets cost 220 RMB for adults, 168 RMB for students, and 110 RMB for both children and seniors at half price. The night ticket is a flat 120 RMB. Seniors aged 65-69 enter at half price and those 70 and over enter free; Shenzhen residents holding the Shenzhen Elderly Preferential Treatment Card also enter free, with ID checks possible at the gate. These prices are listed as applying all year, Monday to Sunday.
Whatever ticket you choose, a valid ID or passport must be shown both when buying and again at the turnstiles, so carry your passport on the day. The reliable move is to settle your ticket before joining the gate queue; the park’s phone line, 0755-26608000, is the listed contact for confirming same-day details.
Entrance and routes
The entrance sits at 9037 Shennan Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen. By metro, take Line 1 or Line 2 to Window of the World station and walk roughly 280 metres. By bus, routes 204, M123, 223 and 235 serve the Window of the World 1 stop, about 330 metres from the gate.
The pack lists this single address and these two approach options; it does not document separate gates, so follow signage from the station or bus stop to the main entrance. Have your passport ready, since it is checked at the gate as well as at ticket purchase.
Photo spots
The pack does not name specific viewpoints inside the park, so plan your shooting around the session times instead. A day ticket covers 09:30-21:30, running from morning light through dusk; the night ticket covers 18:00-21:30, an evening window only. If you want both daylight and after-dark shots, the day ticket is the only one that spans both.
Published hours are for reference only, so confirm the day’s actual times on site or by phone on 0755-26608000 before locking in a photo plan.
Timing and crowds
Listed hours are 09:30-21:30 for the full day and 18:00-21:30 for the night session (published for 4-31 January, Monday-Sunday), and the park notes these are for reference only — verify on the day on site or via 0755-26608000. The suggested visit length is one full day, which fits inside the day-session window with room to spare.
The pack carries no crowd or queue data, so no pattern can be stated. The practical default is to anchor your plan to the session times rather than to predicted crowds: a day ticket buys the full 12 hours, while the night ticket covers only the final 3.5.
Walking and effort
This is a long walk-through day rather than a hike. The suggested duration is a full day, and the day session alone runs 12 hours if you stay from opening to close. The pack publishes no trail lengths, gradients or internal transport options, so treat it as a full day on your feet and pace yourself around the session times rather than around marked routes.
Getting there
Windows of The World sits at 9037 Shennan Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen. The metro is the direct option: Line 1 or Line 2 to Window of the World station, then a walk of about 280 metres. Buses 204, M123, 223 and 235 stop at Window of the World 1, roughly 330 metres from the entrance. Both options leave only a short walk to the gate.
Cost breakdown
Day-session pricing: adults 220 RMB, students 168 RMB, children 110 RMB (half price) and seniors 110 RMB (half price). The night ticket is 120 RMB at full price — 100 RMB less than the adult day ticket, which is the main cost lever the pack documents. Concessions: ages 65-69 pay half price, ages 70 and up enter free, and Shenzhen hukou seniors with the Shenzhen Elderly Preferential Treatment Card enter free, with ID possibly checked at the gate.
Prices are listed as valid all year, Monday to Sunday. The pack does not document any day-to-night upgrade arrangement, so decide your session before buying.
