China Gets A Swiss Village

Tourists in China won't need to go to Switzerland to get the feel of a Swiss resort anymore. A new resort based on the Swiss alpine village of Interlaken is opening near Shenzen this month. The village includes a five-star hotel, golf courses, a park and a spa. The 299-room Interlaken OCT Hotel is home to four restaurants and the 1,000-seat 'Interlaken Theatre' which holds evening cultural shows. The village also has three streets of 'gingerbread' houses and there is a large indoor and outdoor spa with pools and springs.
