May 30, 2012, 02:20 PM

Gold, or huang jin in Chinese, has been cultural capital for centuries. From pagoda roofs to entrepreneurs' teeth, gold spells success. Enter GoldLand, a new and exciting theme park dedicated to the precious metal. Located in an active mine in Shandong Province, GoldLand invites visitors to try their hand at mining and to eat "golden lotus roots", a snack named after the most sensual novel in Chinese history. If you’re planning a visit, don’t forget your shades: the amount of glittering paraphernalia could be blinding. And with the low cost of admission, even those without much gold can bask in the glistening glory of gold for one golden moment. #ceas #china #tsutsui #wilson
