Travel Notes #欢乐谷
Shanghai Happy Valley: a coaster cluster in Songjiang
At 888 Linhu Road in Songjiang, opened in September 2009 across about 650,000 square metres. Seven themed zones and more than a hundred rides include the world's tallest wooden coaster and China's first double-loop machine.
Tianjin Happy Valley: A Twin Park of Thrills by Dongli Lake
Tianjin Happy Valley sits in the Dongli Lake resort and is OCT's large North-China theme park, open since 2013. Six land zones plus a separate water park draw over three million visitors a year — good for families and young crowds alike.
Beijing Happy Valley: One Route Round the Park, Six Roller Coasters
In the southeast corner of Dongcheng's fourth ring, 560,000 square metres and seven themed areas hold China's first launch coaster: 135 km/h, sixty metres high, thirty seconds end to end.
Chongqing Happy Valley: The Sixth Happy Valley, Built Into the Hills
Perched on a slope in Liangjiang New Area, Chongqing Happy Valley is OCT's sixth Happy Valley in China — and the one that turns "mountainous" into its signature. A ferris wheel rides the skyline; a roller coaster borrows the hillside for an extra drop.
