Legoland Shanghai Resort
From Disneyland to the upcoming Peppa Pig theme park, Shanghai’s ever-growing list of amusement parks is the gift that keeps on giving. This summer, there’ll be yet another park to add to your itinerary – Legoland is slated to open its biggest resort in Jinshan this July, and it’s said to span a whopping 318,000sqm.
Where is Legoland Shanghai Resort?
Legoland Shanghai Resort is located at Fengjing Town in Jinshan. Fengjing Town is roughly a 1-hour car ride from downtown Shanghai, but it’s also accessible via the metro and bus.
If you want to get there by public transport, take subway line 1 from the city center to Jinjiang Amusement Park Station. From there, hop onto the Feng Mei Xian Line from West Meilong Bus Station, and alight at the Fengjing Pailou stop. The entire trip should take roughly 1 hour and 20 minutes.

We hear there’ll be rides like a child-friendly roller coaster that’s perfect for first-timers, and interactive zones like a driving school for tots to get make-believe licenses. Youngins will also be able to stock up on a tonne of Lego toys, as the park will house Lego’s biggest shop in Asia.

Parents, there’s a chance to make your theme park trip a little bit educational as well, as Legoland Shanghai has a bunch of exclusive zones inspired by traditional Chinese landmarks and folklore.
In particular, there’ll be a Monkie Kid-themed zone, inspired by the iconic Chinese novel, Journey to the West. Here, you’ll be able to spot Lego-ified versions of beloved characters like Sun Wukong.
Visitors can also keep a lookout for other park elements modelled after famous landmarks, including a boat tour of a Lego-constructed Jiangnan water town.
