A giant 26-metre (85-foot) Lego figure named Dada welcomed visitors to the new Legoland resort in Shanghai.
The resort, which opened on July 5, is the first in China. It is one of 11 parks worldwide and was built with 85 million Lego bricks.
Among the main attractions is Miniland, which replicates well-known sights using Lego bricks. It features landmarks across China, like Beijing’s Temple of Heaven and Shanghai’s Bund waterfront. There is also a boat tour through a historic Chinese water town built with Lego bricks.
“My first impression is it is a good recreation, like a real fairyland of Lego,” said Ji Yujia, a Lego fan who visited on opening day.
The resort was developed in conjunction with the Shanghai government by Merlin Entertainments and the Lego Group.
The resort also features performances by Legoland characters. Tickets start at 319 yuan (HK$349 or US$44).
