Disney has unveiled the first image of Shanghai Disneyland Resort, at its annual meeting of shareholders this month.
Set to open in 2015, the resort will include 225-acre theme park Shanghai Disneyland, two themed hotels and 16,000sq m (495,000sq ft) of retail, dining and entertainment, recreational facilities and a lake.
The Enchanted Storybook Castle will be the centrepiece of the theme park and will be surrounded by themed lands.
Walt Disney Company chief executive and chairman Robert A. Iger said: “With Shanghai Disneyland, we’re creating a one-of-a-kind destination that is authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese.
“We believe this will be one of the most spectacular Disney experiences yet – and an important part of our future.”
The Pudong New District attraction is the sixth Disney resort.
