Opened in 1998 with a total investment of 2 billion yuan and an area of 350,000 square meters, Shenzhen Happy Valley is a modern theme park integrating ornamentation, entertainment and participation, and is also the first batch of national 5A-level scenic spots. In the 19 years since its opening, Shenzhen Happy Valley has received more than 40 million visitors from home and abroad, ranking first in the country for 8 consecutive years and ranking among the top 10 theme parks in the Asia-Pacific region for 4 consecutive years.
Happy Valley is divided into 8 theme areas: Plaza de España, Cartoon City, Adventure Mountain, Happy Island, Gold Mining Town, Shangri-La Forest, Hurricane Bay, and Sunshine Coast, including more than 100 amusement projects. Highly recommended are the Snow Mountain Wyvern and the Snow Eagle. The former, located in the "Shangri-La Forest" recreation area, is the first suspended roller coaster in China, and is known as the "treasure of the town" by the majority of travelers. The latter is a 200 million catapult roller coaster with a speed of up to 135 km/h, which is catapulted to a maximum point of 60 meters and then falls vertically. Friends who are more "gentle" may wish to go to the "Hurricane Bay" play area to experience the XD dynamic theater, whose seats will simulate the feeling of collision, descent and gallop with the plot in the film, which is thrilling and dangerous, and is suitable for the whole family to play together. In addition, in April 2017, Happy Valley launched a newly upgraded "Maya Water Park", which is suitable for indulgence even in the hot summer days.
In addition to various amusement facilities, Happy Valley also arranged a variety of performances such as "Dream Shenzhen" and "Peak Youth". Therefore, it is impossible to play through all the projects in one day. And as we all know, Happy Valley across the country is overcrowded every holiday. In order to avoid the dilemma of queuing for two hours and experiencing two minutes, it is recommended that you try to choose non-holidays to play. If you really can't avoid it, it's best to arrive at the ticket gate half an hour before it opens, and then give priority to large-scale attractions such as space shuttles, snowy mountain dragons, and snowy eagles.
There are about 20 restaurants in total, large and small, in each theme area, and famous brands such as Starbucks, Pizza Hut, KFC, and Ajisen Ramen are also located here, so you can stop and eat at any time. The transportation route to Happy Valley is also very convenient, you can take Metro Line 1 and 2, or B681B, 603 and other more than 50 buses to get off at the "Window of the World" station, and walk for 3 minutes. If you are driving, you can park in the parking lot about 100 meters south of the ticket gate, and the parking fee for small cars is 15 yuan per day.
In Shenzhen, which has a small history, Happy Valley is well worth visiting. In a way, it coincides with the temperament of the city of Shenzhen: young, exciting and vibrant. What could be more joyful than finding a free day to bring your friends and family to release the adrenaline you have built up in your body?
