New Yuan Ming Palace is located at the foot of Big Shilin Mountain of Jiuzhou Road, to the northwest of Zhuhai City. The palace covers an area of 1.4-square-kilometer, the New Yuan Ming Palace is a reproduction of the imperial Yuan Ming Yuan in Beijing, one of the favorite gardens of the late emperors of the Qing dynasty. It was burnt down and completely destroyed by British and French troops in 1860.

The New Yuan Ming Palace was built as a reminder of the glory and the bitter history of ancient China and has been set up as a patriotism education site. Walking around the theme park can take you about 2 hours and English-speaking guide can be hired at the gate.

Along the lake there are many opportunities to hire motor boats and pedelos. New Yuan Ming Palace has many attractions from ancient Emperor's artifacts and clothes to floating restaurants and traditional Chinese architecture. It offers amazing photo opportunities with the mountains as a backdrop and there are many little pagodas to distract your attention.

New Yuan Ming Palace is enlivened by performers dressed up as soldiers and court ladies. In the evening, at the Northern side of the park, there are impressive stage shows depicting traditional Chinese dances and stories in a Broadway style musical presentation. A must see. Also, in the Northern most part of the park there is a sea-battle re-enactment using real boats, explosions and also a troop of calvalry to add to the realism.
