Perpetually busy Shanghai Disneyland (上海迪士尼乐园, Shànghǎi Díshìní Lèyuán) is a fair bit cheaper than the Disneylands in Paris and Orlando, with standard entry clocking in at around ¥500. While most of the attractions can be enjoyed by non-Chinese speakers, there are a few exceptions – the phenomenal Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure fuses high-definition computer-generated effects with a water ride in the dark, but the narration is all in Chinese (that said, it's still incredibly enjoyable for non-Chinese speakers). Another highlight is the seriously fast and uberfuturistic TRON roller coaster, which accelerates to 95km/h. The park has eight themed lands, plus Disney’s biggest-ever Enchanted Storybook Castle.
Expect long queues for rides – arrive before 9am if you plan to do it all in a day.
