SHANGHAI (AP) — A giant 26-meter (85-foot) Lego figure named
Dada welcomed visitors to the new Legoland resort in Shanghai.
The resort, which opened Saturday, is the first in China. It is
one of 11 parks across the world and was built with 85 million
Lego bricks.
Among the main attractions is Miniland, which replicates
well-known sights from across the world using Lego bricks. It
features landmarks across China like Beijing’s Temple of Heaven
and Shanghai’s Bund waterfront. There’s 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 was there on
opening day.
The resort was developed in conjunction with the Shanghai
government by Merlin Entertainments and the LEGO Group.
Visitors were greeted by performances featuring Legoland
characters. Tickets range from $44 (319 yuan) to $84 (599 yuan).
