 There’s something truly breath-taking about Shanghai Disneyland. It’s Disney — but reimagined. Bigger, bolder, and more immersive than ever before. Opened in 2016, it’s the newest of the Disney parks and was built with one idea in mind: to create something “authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese.”

This is not just a theme park — it’s a celebration of storytelling on a grand scale. It blends the heart of classic Disney with futuristic design, cutting-edge attractions, and a deep respect for local culture. If you're ready for a Disney experience that’s familiar yet thrillingly new, Shanghai Disneyland is calling your name.

At the heart of the park stands the Enchanted Storybook Castle — the tallest, biggest, and most interactive Disney castle ever built. It represents all the Disney princesses, and inside, you can dine like royalty, explore a fairytale walk-through, and even set sail on a magical boat ride below.

Everything in Shanghai Disneyland feels elevated. From the jaw-dropping TRON Lightcycle Power Run to the beautifully immersive Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure, this park is packed with world-firsts and next-level technology that will leave you speechless.

Shanghai Disneyland is home to seven themed lands:

• Mickey Avenue – A colourful, whimsical entrance to the park
   
• Gardens of Imagination – Tranquil, beautiful, and deeply inspired by Chinese culture
   
• Fantasyland – Where fairytales take flight, including the incredible Voyage to the Crystal Grotto
   
• Tomorrowland – Futuristic thrills with TRON at its heart
   
• Treasure Cove – A pirate’s paradise and home to one of the best Disney rides ever made
   
• Adventure Isle – For explorers and adventurers of all ages
   
• Toy Story Land – Bright, playful, and full of family fun
   

What makes this park so magical is how it merges innovation with deep emotional storytelling. It’s full of surprises, charm, and unforgettable moments that you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

Shanghai Disneyland proudly celebrates Chinese traditions — from food offerings to holiday celebrations, architecture, and customs. You’ll find thoughtful details everywhere, making it feel like Disney has truly learned from and embraced its setting.

It’s not just a theme park — it’s a window into a new world of magic.
