Additional Details:
The "Good Earth Village" costing $1,250,000 is one of the Fair's largest concessions. It is a reproduction of an ancient Chinese walled city, with shops, dwellings, cafes, shrine, theatre, temple and gardens. Native farmers are seen working in rice paddies and soya bean patches - artisans carving ivory, jade, silver, mother of pearl and porcelain, thin as an egg shell, is manufactured - festivals and plays abound. Fortune telling by trained Chinese Larks is very interesting
