Shanghai Disneyland Park is the first Disney theme park in mainland China, which blends the magic of Disney and unique cultural elements of China. Embark on a magical journey through various themed lands filled with world-class attractions and spectacular entertainment.
Adhering to the essence of a traditional "Disneyland" theme park, Shanghai Disneyland Park boasts many innovations and variations.
There are six themed lands in Shanghai Disneyland Park: Mickey Avenue, Gardens of Imagination, Adventure Isle, Treasure Cove, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland. Here are some highlights of each land:
You can also see shows and parades in the park. You can get a schedule of show and parade times at the park entrance.
It is impossible to visit all the attractions in one day, so just choose what you like and make a good plan before you going there.
Before you head off make sure you download the official Shanghai Disneyland App as it displays live standby times and has an offline map of the park.
