Tropical Village Mini-World Theme Park used to be a popular destination in Johor. This park has many mini versions of the world's famous landmarks, monuments and icons of cities around the world, such as Angkor Siem Reap in Cambodia, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, Eiffel Tower in Paris, Statue of Liberty in New York, the Great Wall of China and many more. The park is also well landscaped with lush greenery, I enjoyed walking in the park. There is a children's playground where kids would love. The only drawback is that the park lacks maintenance. I hope the authority could revamp the theme park into a leisure destination and tourists spot. Address: Kampung Sri Desa, 86200 Ayer Hitam, Johor, Malaysia Rating: 3.5/5 #johor #tropicalvillage
