Reading

The first Smurfs Park in China has been operating in Shanghai for two months now. It’s the third such park in the world, with the other two in Spain and Dubai.

The park in Songjiang District offers an immersive “Smurfs” experience of adventure and fun with various entertainment facilities, performances, parades and interactive games. Recreating scenes from the Smurfs secret village, the 20,000-square-meter indoor park has became a new cultural and tourist landmark this summer.

Fiona Li and Shirlene Gu went to the park to check out the Smurfs’ world for their vlog.

The highlight of the Wonderland Area is Glass Plank Road, a glass-bottomed walkway which is the first in Shanghai built on the edge of a cliff, 88 meters above the ground. It allows visitors to feel the sensation of floating between pools of water and the cliff. Get an overview of the hotel, a large Smurf sits at the bottom of the quarry and is waving to the visitors.

There are also several entertainment facilities inside this area for children, such as a swing, insect world, dream island and adventure kingdom.
