  • World’s largest Legoland set to open in Shanghai

The US$550 million Legoland Shanghai Resort, could attract up to 2.4 million visitors a year once it officially opens on July 5, according to estimates by local government officials. Trial operations started on Friday at the world’s largest Legoland theme park in Shanghai, as the city presses ahead with its goal to boost its status as a major global tourist destination.

Construction of the Legoland resort began in 2021 as part of the city’s efforts to establish itself as a major international tourist destination. The operators of Legoland claim the theme park has the world’s first themed land and live show based on the Monkey King literary figure from the 16th-century novel Journey to the West.
