Reflections of China is a 13-minute, 360-degree film capturing the nation's epic beauty, shown in the China Pavilion at Epcot theme park. Explore China as never before in this stirring Circle-Vision 360 film that puts you in the center of the action.

Trek across almost-mythical locales and soak in the atmosphere as the ancient-poet narrator expounds on this fascinating culture rich with history and tradition. Sweep from Beijing to Shanghai, from inner Mongolia to the Forbidden City, from the distant lands of the Hunan province to the Great Wall, discovering all the brilliant facets of this Land of Many Faces.

The show is narrated by an actor playing Li Bai, an ancient Chinese poet, who takes the viewer on a tour of the Chinese countryside and historical structures and buildings. Some sites that are seen are The Great Wall of China, The Forbidden City in Beijing, Hunan, Guilin, Suzhou, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.

Touring Tips

  • The Reflections of China is shown on the half hour. Use the time before the next showing to view the Land of Many Faces gallery.
  • If the 360 degree movie screen makes you a little dizzy, stand near the back of the room, you'll be able to see most of the film. Remember, this is a standing attraction.
  • Not overly thrilling, but rarely busy so if you're looking for a place to either cool off, dry off or escape crowds, this is an option to keep in mind.
