Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park, Theme park in Bajiao Subdistrict, China
Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park is a large facility in Bajiao with over 50 rides and attractions spread across multiple zones. The rides include water-based experiences, swing rides, and roller coasters that vary in type and intensity throughout the grounds.
The park opened in 1986 and began with a roller coaster as its centerpiece attraction. During the 2000s, it went through major expansions that added multiple new roller coasters to its offerings.
The park's mascots are its own creations, though visitors long noted figures resembling Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Hello Kitty and Doraemon; management described the mouse-like one as a "big-eared cat" and said the characters drew on Grimm's Fairy Tales. After the 2007 controversy and the 2022 Winter Olympics refurbishment, such figures disappeared. The park's slogan was "Disneyland is too far — come to Shijingshan Amusement Park".
The Line 1 station serving the park, Bajiao Amusement Park, is closed for renovation until 2027, so check replacement routes before setting out. Bus 663 stops at the west entrance. The park is open 8:45-17:00, and tickets are sold per attraction or as all-ride passes.
The park's mascots were the subject of a 2007 controversy: a Fuji TV report noted costumed figures resembling Disney, Warner Bros. and Japanese characters, and a castle like Sleeping Beauty Castle. Management denied copying, saying the figures drew on Grimm's Fairy Tales; Disney lodged a complaint in Beijing. After the 2022 Winter Olympics refurbishment, the lookalike characters and pirate DVDs were gone.
