Pop Land Beijing
There’s no doubt that the popularity of Pop Mart has skyrocketed in the last couple of years. New collections launch every few months, and some become so popular that mega fans are willing to queue hours before the stores open just to make sure they get their hands on the latest collection before it sells out.
The latest craze in the Pop Mart world is none other than Labubu, which is already sold out in Singapore. But while you may not be able to get your hands on one from Pop Mart stores in Singapore, you can still get it from Pop Land Beijing where you can meet your favourite characters in person and also purchase limited edition collectibles.
The current exchange rate is S$1 = ~RMB5.41 as of 10th October 2024.
All you need to know about Pop Land Beijing
Pop Land Beijing, is a 40,000sqm Pop Mart theme park within the revamped Chaoyang Park. Despite being called a theme park, don’t expect to see thrilling rollercoasters or rides as this theme park is more similar to Korea’s Snoopy Garden or Japan’s Ghilbi Park where cute photo ops are the main draw.
