Disney Shanghai

Disneyland Shanghai is a great idea. The Chinese love Disney. Everyone wants to go to Hong Kong to the park, which doesn't have sufficient capacity for the Chinese market and has suffered some PR disasters as a result.

The authorities have confirmed that the previously suspended plan to build a Disneyland theme park in this city has been revived and preparations are going ahead full steam.

Qian Weizhong, director of the economy committee of Nanhui district, said residents had moved off the land targeted for Shanghai Disneyland, in suburban Chuansha town.

The planned theme park will occupy 6 sq km, which is about 4.7 times the size of Hong Kong's Disneyland, according to the original plan.
