China Theme Parks

SHENZHEN, CHINA - OCTOBER 1: Young women pose for pictures in front of a photograph of Moscow's Red Square at Minsk World Theme Park on October 1, 2008 outside Shenzhen, China. The Minsk, an aircraft carrier, was built in 1972 and served the Soviet Navy and the later the Russian Navy. She had been retired because of a major accident and was later sold to a Chinese company to serve as a Theme Park. Chinese people love theme parks and new ones are opening constantly. It's estimated that there's about 2400 theme parks in the country. Many of the most popular parks are located around Shenzhen and over the border in Hong Kong.
