Shanghai To Launch World's Largest Legoland Theme Park In July. Details Inside
A joint venture between Merlin Entertainments and the Shanghai Jinshan District local government, the Shanghai resort is ready to turn into Legoland.
Boosting Tourism In Shanghai
Trial operations at Legoland have already begun on June 27, as per a report by the South China Morning Post. The initiative has been taken to boost Shanghai's status as a major global tourist destination.
Sources claim that China's economy has received a major blow from weak consumer spending in the last few years. Legoland aims to break the cycle by expecting strong domestic tourism and "experience" spending among Chinese travellers.
As per estimates by local government officials, once Legoland officially opens next month in the southwestern Jinshan district, it is likely to attract approximately 2.4 million visitors. With 5,200 hotel rooms available, the Jinshan municipal government revealed that the resort could even draw around 8,000 park-goers in a day.
Main Features Of Legoland Shanghai
Sprawled across an area of 318,000 square metres, the entertainment complex at Legoland Shanghai Resort will feature eight themed sections such as Ninjago, Lego Friends and Monkie Kid lands. The place will also have 75 interactive and thrilling rides, including a 250-room hotel.
The entire premises has more than 85 million Lego bricks. Expect to witness a miniature replica of the Shanghai skyscrapers and the waterfront of the Lujiazui financial district. Everything you see here is built in colourful plastic bricks.
Li Wenjie, CEO of Shanghai Yaheng International Travel, said in a statement, "It'll be yet another world-class amusement park that adds lustre to Shanghai's tourist industry. The Legoland Resort's synergy with the city's Disneyland and Haichang Ocean Park will offer tourists enjoyable, unique experiences that are not available in any other Chinese city."

Host your own Alice in Wonderland tea party
Every July 4th, celebrate the day Lewis Carroll first told Alice's adventures. Host a Mad Hatter hi-tea with playing cards, Queen of Hearts tarts, and 'Eat Me' treats. Transform your space with fairy lights, glowing mushrooms, and a 'Drink Me' bar. Observed every year on July 4, it marks the day when Carroll first shared the story with Alice Liddell, an acquiantance and the subject of his story, during a boat ride. What better way to honour a world where time runs wild, and logic takes a holiday, than by hosting your very own, delightfully mad Alice-themed hi-tea? Add playing cards, serve Queen of Hearts tarts, and don't forget a little 'Eat Me' magic in the menu. After all, in Wonderland – the more bonkers, the better! Host your own Mad Hatter soiree Planning an enchanting hi-tea means transforming your space into a topsy-turvy Wonderland. 'Begin by setting the mood with fairy lights draped on trees or in bottles, glowing mushrooms, and candles in teacups to evoke that 'Mad Hatter's Tea' vibe. Add a 'Drink Me' bar with funky mocktails and an 'Eat Me' corner with themed desserts,' says Ishika Agarwal, founder of an event management brand. Create a riddle station, just like the Cheshire Cat might. For photos, set up a booth with props like rabbit ears, crowns, and grumpy cat smiles. Floating hats, teacups, and golden keys can add to the charm. Blue, bows & beyond For a fresh spin on Alice's iconic look, try a modern Alpha Gen twist with a corset over a slip dress. 'Powder blue is key. It's quintessentially Alice. Keep the silhouette simple with textured fabrics. Lace, ribbons, and a princess bodice with a gathered bottom nod to classic European style,' says stylist Neel Saha. For makeup, focus on wide, innocent eyes with white liner and rosy blush. 'This gives you that youthful, curious gaze,' adds Sonam Jaiswal, makeup artist. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Finish with loose waves and a black ribbon headband for a perfect Wonderland touch. Tea time with a twist of whimsy Johanne Mantosh, who styled the table for us, suggests to keep the theme whimsical, chaotic, but calm. 'I've used colourful flowers, mismatched cutlery, and elements like a horse spoon!' For that 'Drink Me' vibe – 'mix black and white jars with red and green ones, balance it with vibrant crockery, blooms, and potion-like drinks,' she says, adding, 'Include different types of tea, such as Matcha, and offer puff pastry, dim sums, cupcakes, and pastries. Go with whatever sparks your dopamine.' Add elements inspired by the Queen of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat. Alice is a believer and a dreamer who follows her path and so do I. The whole set up and outfit made me feel like a princess. The shoot was dreamy – Angana Roy, actress

Can Vegetarians Easily Survive In China? Indian Living In China Shows Reality
People in China are known for eating all kinds of bizarre and unthinkable food like silkworms, scorpions, pig blood curd, chicken feet and more. With so many viral videos on the internet around strange dishes in China, people often think it could be difficult for a vegetarian to survive in the country. However, a unique video on YouTube shared by an Indian living in Guangzhou, China, shows the reality of vegetarian food in China. "Is China a vegetarian 's worst nightmare? I'm Atharva Maheshwari, an Indian vegetarian living in China, and I'm here to debunk the myths!" the YouTuber wrote in the caption. In the video, the YouTuber takes the viewers through an unfiltered tour of a massive, bustling Chinese vegetable market in Kunming. It turns out that this market is "a true vegetarian paradise that has more variety than many markets in India," says the YouTuber. The market is full of different fresh, green vegetables available at affordable prices. "Forget the stereotypes you've heard about Chinese food being all meat," the YouTuber says. The video shows several familiar vegetables like asparagus, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, green onions, sweet corns, carrot, ginger, garlic, red onions, sweet potato, okra, brinjal, along with exotic produce like bok choy, gai lan, lotus root, dozens of mushroom varieties (shiitake, enoki, wood ear), bamboo shoots, and giant pomelos. The YouTuber also gives a glimpse of the fruit market full of fruits like fresh bananas, guava, watermelon, oranges, peaches, litchi, mangoes, dragon fruit, and many more. The video adds a refreshing and lesser-seen side of Chinese food and culture to the pool of videos available on the internet, along with a glimmer of hope for any vegetarian or vegan planning a trip to China.
