Question

Disneyland Park is a theme park（主題公園）. The first Disneyland Park, which opened in California, USA on July 17, 1955, is owned and operated by the Walt Disney Company.

In addition to the first Disneyland Park in California, USA and some other four Disneyland parks in the world, Mickey Mouse and his friends could be possibly welcoming visitors to Shanghai’s own Disneyland Park in 2016. A Hong Kong newspaper reported this news over the weekend.

Shanghai Disneyland Park will be on the east bank of Shanghai’s Huangpu River, near Chuansha town, which is only 20 minutes’ drive from Pudong International Airport. It will be eight times larger than the one in Hong Kong, the first in China. It’s said that the park is about 10 square kilometers.

The Shanghai government once wanted Shanghai Disneyland Park to be built on Chongming Island. But many people and experts think this area hasn’t developed as fast as the city of Shanghai. Moreover, it’s too far away from Pudong International Airport.

Shanghai Disneyland Park will not follow Hong Kong’s operation model（運(yùn)作模式）, that is to say, the government rents the land to the Walt Disney Company. The Shanghai government will provide the land, pay for using the brand（商標(biāo)）, but it will have the power to control the park.
