The 360 degree screens add a lot to the expeience. The show happens all around you. Wonders of China meets my expectations for a movie type show. The outside is more grand but details are present throughout the building.

This all around cinema experience (stading) was one of the only attractions, although beautifully shot and executed, to make me a bit sick. While interesting and worth a look, I wont rush back as it\'s much more worthwhile looking around the Pavillion in my view...

This is the best 360 film at Epcot. It benefits from a filmed narrator (who by the way has very refined and stately speaking skills), rather than an unseen one as in O Canada and Impressions de France. I've read social commentary before that said this film is lacking because it fails to address the current Communist regime, but it's too bad these folks let politics get in the way of appreciation for beauty of the Chinese culture and landscape (though I can understand if a Chinese native has something to say about this). This is a truly a majestic film that captures the spirit of it's people and the magnificence of it's terrain.

I went to see it for the first time two weeks ago... They now have these Chinese children perform before the show, they do all these "gymnast" type stunts. It's really not amusing to someone like me, cause I was just waiting for one of them to break their tailbone or collarbone, that's how extreme their performance was. And I also see it as a form of child labor, so I'm not a big fan of it. As to the show, this old guy comes on and says he's a wizard or something like that, and he doesn't have the best speaking capabilities, so I didn't like it right off the bat. So he goes off screen, and says, explore my China, and I'll see you in a while, so I was like, damn, we have to see him again, so strike 2. Strike 3 is showing the Emperor's palace in Beijing or wherever it was, I didn't like this because I already have no respect for the way they run things over there, I didn't need to see a picture of their emperor on my WDW time, so strike 3. It didn't take long to get the 3 strikes, but it was an okay film, if they stayed away from Beijing and their government, it would have been a lot better...I don't need to know that the royal family made their people suffer, just want to see China, not the horrible history...
