'Little Big City Beijing' set to showcase city's history in a fun way

Little Big City Beijing, a miniature version of the city with landmarks such as the Great Wall, done with 3D-models, projection mappings and holograms and over 6,000 miniature mannequin from all walks of life, with vivid facial expressions, will open in early September, showcasing the city's history and culture since the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). 

Visitors to the display, located on the historical Qianmen Street, can also enjoy interactive experiences, where two persons can compete using two miniature horses.

The display, owned by the United Kingdom-based Merlin Entertainments plc, is the second Little Big City project, besides the one in Berlin, Germany, which opened last summer.
