China Travel

While Hong Kong Disneyland is not for everyone, if you enjoy kitsch and color, you will not be disappointed. Opened in 2005, the popular 126 hectare theme park has four parts: Main Street, U.S.A, Fantasyland, Adventureland and Tomorrowland.

Located on reclaimed land in Penny's Bay on Lantau Island, this is the fifth and smallest Disneyland with less than five million visitors each year. In an attempt to be culturally sensitive, Disney incorporated aspects of Chinese culture, customs and traditions in the design and building of the park and resort.

The park can handle 34, 000 visitors per day, but it gets less visitors than expected and plans to expand in an attempt to double its annual visitors.

At present there are 27 attractions in the park, making it the smallest of the 5 other Disneyland Parks (Paris, Tokyo, Florida, and California).

The theme park's staff speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin and the guide maps are printed with Chinese character, Japanese and English.

Hong Kong Disneyland has become an increasingly popular place to have a "fairytale wedding" and begin your "happily ever after". Imagine the romance of having Mickey Mouse as your best man.
