Theme Parks in China

Ticket Prices & Getting There: the Biggest Parks

These are the four parks travelers from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the UK and the US search for most – and the ones worth checking on the official ticket page before you travel. Prices and hours fluctuate by date at all four; the figures below come from the parks' official ticket and transport pages, price as of 2026-08-14 for all four.

Shanghai Disney Resort

The standard one-day ticket runs 475 to 799 RMB depending on the date – Shanghai Disney uses a six-tier pricing system (475 / 539 / 599 / 659 / 719 / 799 RMB) published on a rolling 30-day calendar. That means you won't see the exact price for your date until about a month out. Getting there: Metro Line 11 to its terminus, "Disney Resort Station," then a 5–10 minute walk to the entrance. Hours vary a lot – opening is usually around 8:30am, closing anywhere from 8:30pm to 10:30pm depending on the season; the exact daily schedule is only published about two weeks ahead.

Universal Studios Beijing

No flat price here either: the standard one-day ticket is 418 RMB on off-peak days, 528 RMB on regular days, 638 RMB on peak days, or 748 RMB on special dates (e.g. public holidays). Tickets are valid only for the date you select at purchase – there's no flexible, undated one-day ticket. Getting there: Subway Line 7 (or the Batong Line) to "Universal Resort" station, Exit B, C, or D, then about a 7-minute walk to the Universal CityWalk security checkpoint.

Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong Disneyland also runs a tiered system: adult one-day tickets cost between HK$669 and HK$939 depending on the tier, with midweek days (Tuesday to Thursday) usually falling in the cheapest tier. A ticket bought for a given day is also automatically valid on any lower tier. Getting there: the MTR Disneyland Resort Line runs directly from the Sunny Bay interchange (Tung Chung Line) to "Disneyland Resort" station in about 6 minutes.

Chimelong Paradise (Guangzhou)

Noticeably cheaper than the international brands: the standard adult one-day ticket is 250 RMB per the official price, with no date-based pricing tiers. Getting there: Metro Lines 3 and 7 to "Hanxi Changlong" station, then a short walk or a free shuttle straight to the park entrance – no taxi from central Guangzhou needed. Hours are usually 10am to 8pm per the official site, though this can shift with season and special events.

Coordinates are city-level approximations, not exact entrance coordinates (computed via an Albers conic projection + 3-point calibration on Beijing/Shanghai/Guangzhou). Where several parks share a city, points were spread apart slightly for readability.

Several of the largest clusters, including Chimelong and OCT in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, sit in the same Cantonese-cuisine region covered on the regional cuisines page, and close to the trade hubs on the trade centers page.

FAQ

Is this a complete list of all theme parks in China?

No. It's a selection of the best-known and largest parks, compiled from publicly known facts – not an official registry and not a listing of every park in the country.

What do the four categories mean?

"International brand" = parks run by international corporations (Disney, Universal). "Flagship resort" = especially large, standalone Chinese facilities. "City chain" = brands like Happy Valley or Fantawild with locations in multiple cities. "Show/film/marine park" = parks focused on shows, replicas, or marine animals rather than classic rides.

How accurate are the positions on the map?

The map is an illustrative overview at city level, not an exact location map. Where several parks share a city (e.g. Shenzhen), points were spread apart slightly for readability.
