About this audio guide
This guide to Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park explains how a Chinese operator, watching Shanghai Disneyland pull in millions of visitors down the road, hired a former Disney Imagineer and his old ride-building team to construct a rival park in the same neighborhood. You'll hear the numbers behind the roughly two-year build, from the 2016 groundbreaking to the 2018 opening, and what fills the grounds around you, from orcas and beluga whales to hundreds of sharks. The guide lays out the pitch the park was built on, ticket price included.
