Different from traditional museums, every exhibition hall in this new-notion museum has specific characteristics of its own, showing the highest hi-tech intermediate means and effect as of sound, light and electricity, including VCD, Cartoon and Internet Game.

Suzhou Amusement Land
If you've overdosed on gardens, temples, and classical culture, the perfect interlude might just be an afternoon of fun at China's best amusement park, the Suzhou Amusement Land. Locally known as "China's Disney World," the park was built only a few years ago, and is modeled on leading Western amusement parks. Designed and laid with a great attention to detail, the park's whimsical architecture is the setting for classic fairground amusements like carousels, games, and even cotton candy. The park boasts two international standard steel frame roller coasters - one even with an inverted ride. The park also includes a large water park, complete with wave pools, rafting, a tangle of water slides of all types - all making it best way to beat the summer heat.

Wuxi Theme Parks
These three theme parks revive the world of ancient China in a flash of spectacle. They were originally built as TV sets for mini-series based on two of China's most famous historical novels, the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin. Later a third set was built for a series about the life and loves of the most famous emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Having built such large and elaborate sets, after production finished the city decided it would be a shame to tear them down and instead turned them into historical theme parks. They spread over many acres along the shores of Lake Taihu, made up of many market squares, palaces, temples, mansions, and prisons where the most famous stories of the novels were set. The buildings were designed based on a study of actual historical architecture and paintings, and built to match the historical standards, creating a remarkably vivid environment. Even the clothing and hairstyles of shop attendants and restaurant waitresses are done in historical styles.

But the architecture is only the backdrop for the real highlight of the parks - live performances and staged battles. The two novels the parks are based on are full of action - Three Kingdoms tells the story of China's most famous civil war, while the Water Margin is a Robin Hood-like tale of righteous bandits fighting corrupt officials. For the TV series, producers recreated many of the novels' battles and fight scenes, and reenactments of the most popular ones are staged every day. Set in the historical street and palace courtyards, they're very well performed - the performers and stuntmen were trained to meet the standards of national television. One especially entertaining type of show features the extravagant kung-fu and martial arts battles that are such a staple of Chinese film and television. But while on television directors and editors crop out the ropes and harnesses that makes the superhuman jumps and triple aerial somersaults possible, at the theme parks these are all visible to see, pulling the veil from the mystery from these seemingly impossible feats.  Another great type of performance is the staged battles, featuring horseback fights, cavalry battles, and trick riding.  The parks invite superb horsemen from as far away as Mongolia, and choreograph fights that both evoke bygone eras and are also captivating and lively shows. They're so popular that the audience at these staged battles is often standing room only.

Besides these theme parks, there are some other entertainment facilities in Jiangsu Province; the following are some lists of theme parks, theaters and nightclubs.
