China’s First Universal Studios Theme Park Opens In Beijing

The much-awaited Universal Studios’ Beijing Resort opened its doors to the public after a two-decade wait, including delays because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Located about 30 km east of the center of the Chinese capital, it is Universal Studios’ fifth theme park, its third in Asia, after Singapore and Osaka, and its largest in the world. Spread over 4 sq. km, it boasts 37 rides and attractions themed around seven blockbuster movies, two hotels and more than 20 shops.

The Hollywood studio’s “Jurassic Park”, “Kungfu Panda” and “Harry Potter” film franchises, plus Minions from “Despicable Me” feature prominently at Universal Studios Beijing.

The opening went ahead despite coronavirus outbreaks in China’s southeast that prompted the government to tighten travel controls in some areas.

Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness will be the world’s first land dedicated to the Dragon Warrior and will feature, among other attractions, a kung fu training camp like the one used by Po in the movie, as well as a Mr. Ping’s noodle house to dine at, also inspired by the movie version of the character. Completely covered, the experience will take place in ‘Legendary China’ and will be decorated with Chinese architectural buildings.

Snow-covered roofs, cobblestone streets and mysterious places share space in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade, a land focused on visitors of all ages where the youngest will enjoy the adventures of the most famous wizard of the big screen.

Minion Land is an exciting land (the largest in the world with such a theme) created for families to share their time inside the resort while meeting the mischievous Minions, who will be brought to life through immersive experiences.

Jurassic Park fans will find Jurassic World Isla Nublar a place where dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptors, Ankylosaurs and the fearsome Indominus Rex roam the Earth once again.

Based on the Transformers franchise, Transformers Metrobase will be the home of NEST Beijing, a top-secret and technologically advanced area, where an alliance developed between humans and Autobots to protect Earth. Its Cybertronian architecture serves as the setting for a new story created specifically for the Titan Metrobase.

The live shows for which Universal is so famous will take over the lands of WaterWorld (in a water battle with acrobatics) and Hollywood, and at Universal CityWalk Beijing the entertainment will continue with a movie theater, several restaurants, clubs and stores where you can buy a souvenir of your visit to Universal Beijing Resort.

The Universal Beijing Resort will include the Universal Studios Beijing theme park, Universal CityWalk Beijing, and two extraordinary hotels, The Universal Studios Grand Hotel and the NUO Resort Hotel.

With admission tickets, guests can enjoy blockbuster fun with immersive experiences in the largest Universal Studios at its opening, exploring 37 rides and attractions in the seven immersive themed lands of the park, as well as 24 shows and performances in 6 types in the resort all day long.
