1. Temple of Heaven
When first arriving, make sure to take in the beautiful triple arched ceremonial gate. This is known as the Temple of Heaven and is a small replica of the one from Beijing. The detailed and ascetic architecture is something to marvel at. Take time to look at the 12 pillars representing the months of the Chinese calendar each uniquely designed.

In the China Pavilion, guests are able to meet Mulan. This currently is the only place guests can meet the fierce warrior on a typical park day. This is an engaging and entertaining meet and greet that takes place in a beautiful setting allowing for some amazing pictures. Make sure to check My Disney Experience app to see what times Mulan is meeting during your vacation.
3. Replica of the Terracotta Army
Travel inside the temple to see the Tomb Warriors. This exhibit has statues that are modeled after the real ones from 210 BC and were discovered in 1974 by farmers. Each unique soldier has a different sculpted face. Pictures of the real version can also be found in this museum area. A truly special experience that one can find in the China Pavilion.
