CHINA - WORLD SHOWCASE AT EPCOT
    The gateway of this showcase is based on the beautifully styled main gate at the summer palace in Beijing, which also provided the inspiration for the half-size Temple of Heaven. The Temple of Heaven, through which guests pass into a Circle-Vision 360 theater, symbolizes the Chinese universe. Other structures include a public marketplace, a school house, a city gate and shop fronts reflecting European overtones. Gardens and reflecting ponds within the showcase simulate those found in Suzhou and symbolize the order and discipline of nature.
