Advanced digital control systems are also used to make sure the mini world runs faultlessly. Through the central server, the world is set to alternate day and night every half hour. When the night comes, over 20,000 LED lights are put into use.
According to Zhu Haijie, creator of the mini world, the world provides an immersive and all-round interactive experience for visitors, and is a leading art project in China which integrates scientific education and artistic creation.
The mini world, covering an area of more than 800 square meters, took nine months to complete after four years of preparation.
