World Showcase - China

The exotic architecture of the China Pavilion is very beautiful and ornate, standing back behind a pond full of vegetation. The China pavilion is host to a CircleVision movie about the country, and an exhibit called "Land of Many Faces" introduces visitors to the many ethnic groups of China. Dining opportunities include the full-service Nine Dragons, as well as the counter-service Lotus Blossom Cafe. Shops are full of exotic trinkets, and you don't want to miss the entertainment here, with young Chinese acrobats performing feats of incredible agility and flexibility.
