Hong Kong Disneyland, Hong Kong (must see)

Located in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong Disneyland is situated on reclaimed land. As the first theme park within the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, it is owned and managed by the Hong Kong International Theme Parks. Opening its doors to visitors on 12 September 2005, the park aimed to avoid cultural backlash by incorporating Chinese customs, traditions, and culture into its design and construction, even adhering to the principles of feng shui. An example of this is the intentional placement of a bend in a walkway near the entrance, ensuring that positive qi energy wouldn't flow into the South China Sea.

The park encompasses seven captivating themed areas: Main Street, U.S.A., Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland, Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point, and Toy Story Land. The dedicated cast members at the theme park are fluent in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin, facilitating smooth communication with visitors. Guide maps are available in traditional and simplified Chinese, as well as English, French, and Japanese, ensuring accessibility for a diverse range of guests.

Why You Should Visit:
Wonderful traditional Disney Park with an Asian flair and excellent food dishes.
The light show and parades are excellent along with the many fireworks displays – definitely a step above other parks.

Tip:
Firstly, unless you're staying in the Disney resort it is wise to buy tickets online (also include your meal in the ticket as it is easier and cheaper).
The package also includes a drink or ice cream AND a $50 voucher to spend at the Disney shop.
Remember the grand parade and fireworks are late evening, so check the show times and choose your arrival time accordingly.
There's only one train connection in and out of Disneyland; don't stress about missing it as it runs every 10 mins.
Entry during the non-peak season is quick, but beware bags are checked, and no picnics, outside food, or big drinks are allowed.
US dollars are accepted in the park and at all souvenir shops, and for other park purchases.
