Shanghai Disney Resort is a large leisure complex in Pudong, Shanghai, featuring a theme park, two hotels, a shopping and dining area, and a lake. The resort covers a vast area with a castle at its center, surrounded by themed lands and entertainment facilities.
The project was approved in 2009 and construction began in 2011. The resort opened to the public in June 2016 after five years of building.
