Happy Valley, the biggest theme park in China, opened to public in
Beijing this July after four-years of construction. Occupying 1 million
square meters, Happy Valley is now host to more than 40 recreational
facilities.

Happy Valley consists of 6 areas, telling a story through vivid
environmental designs including the Firth Forest, Atlantis, Lost Maya,
Aegean Port, Shangri-La and Ants Kingdom. The park provides visitors with
plenty of fun things to do, and if you haven't been there, just follow
our guide to check it out.

Visual enjoyment: Exoticism in the Happy Valley



The six themes of the park are unfolded through a variety of ways
including architecture, sculptures, gardens, and murals. More than fifty
cultural sights and natural scenes (e.g., Lost Jungle of North America,
Greek Town, Apollo Palace, etc.) work together to play a sophisticated
tune.



What is truly amazing is the accuracy of these civilization duplicates.
Here, you can enjoy the sights of exotic models, and feel like you are
seeing the real thing.

A feast for both the eyes and the ears: performances in the Happy Valley

With a combination of domestic and international resources, Happy Valley
has made innovations in the fields of stage, lights, properties and so
forth. Therefore it cannot only provide a feast for the visitor's eyes,
but the ears as well. Moreover, the stories are truly engaging, and
visitors can attach themselves to the performances as well.
