All structures are built with meticulous attention to detail, including window frames, roof tiles, and facade textures. The park covers an area of 87,000 square meters.

Insider tips

Wear comfortable walking shoes, as the park requires covering a significant distance on paved paths.

Check the weather forecast, as there is limited shade and most of the park is completely exposed to the sun and rain.

Use the park's stamp rally cards available at the entrance to track your visit through the different geographic zones.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to touch the miniature structures, as they are fragile and the surrounding landscaping is strictly off-limits.
