The China Pavilion is marked by a large Chinese gate that welcomes guests into a courtyard where a replica of the Temple of Heaven sits among ponds and bridges. In 1998, the music video for "Reflection" from
Mulan was filmed at the China Pavilion.
Attraction
Reflections of China is the feature attraction at the China Pavilion. It is a Circle-Vision 360 movie that is narrated by an actor portraying Li Bai, an ancient Chinese poet, who leads the viewer through a tour of the Chinese countryside and historical structures. It was announced at the 2017 D23 Expo that a new film featuring next-generation digital camera systems, similar to the new update at Soarin', will be installed at some point in the foreseeable future. The new film will be a seamless Circle-Vision show.
Character
In the shadow of the Temple of Heaven, guests can meet the fearless Chinese warrior, Mulan.
Entertainment
The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats are a vibrant acrobatic group from China that perform amazing feats of strengths, agility, and balance in the Chinese gardens.
Dining
The Nine Dragons Restaurant features
Cantonese, Mongolian, Szechuan, Hunan and Kiangche-style dishes such as honey-sesame chicken, peppery shrimp, and fried rice. Upon entering the restaurant, guests are greeted by a glass etching of two dragons chasing a pearl. Tables by the windows offer a great view of the World Showcase Lagoon promenade.
For a quick counter service restaurant, visit the Lotus Blossom Cafe. This cafe serves items such as pot stickers, egg rolls, orange chicken, and beef noodle soup. A few fan favorites are the ginger ice cream and plum wine.
Shopping
Outside the Chinese gates is Good Fortune Gifts, which sells a wide variety of Chinese inspired items such as parasols, puppets, and toys. Inside the gates, House of Good Fortune sells Chinese housewares items such as tea sets, wall prints, silk robes, and porcelain items.
