Happy Valley Shenzhen

深圳欢乐谷

A large amusement park run by OCT, with thrills such as Snow Eagle, Flying over the Mediterranean and wooden coasters. The Halloween haunted house season draws big crowds every year.

Happy Valley Shenzhen opened in 1998 as the first Happy Valley park of the OCT Group. It is located inside OCT in Nanshan and covers 350,000 square meters. The park is divided into nine themed areas: Spanish Plaza, Cartoon Town, Adventure Mountain, Gold Mine Town, Shangri-La Forest, Hurricane Bay, Sunshine Coast, Maya Water Park (open in summer) and Happy Time. Highlights include Snow Eagle, a suspended coaster and the most thrilling ride in the park; Flying over the Mediterranean, a launch coaster; the wooden coaster Happy Snow Mountain; the UFO giant swing; Rapids Adventure; and the Space Shuttle drop tower. The children's area has the Happy Mainline single-rail mini-train, which tours the whole park. The Halloween festival from October to November, with its haunted houses and parades, is a fixed event for young people in Shenzhen, and summer brings night electronic music festivals. A full-day adult ticket costs about 230 to 260 yuan, and a night ticket costs about 120 yuan. Maya Water Park is sold separately in summer or as part of a combo ticket. Buy through the official mini-program or Meituan, and book ahead during holidays. For the best experience, enter as the park opens and ride the thrill rides first, since queues are shortest from 10 to 11 a.m. Check wait times in the official app. A full visit takes 5 to 6 hours. Getting there: about a 10-minute walk from Exit A of Window of the World station on Metro Lines 1 and 2, or from OCT station on Line 1. Notes: coasters have a 1.4-meter height limit, and some rides pause in rain. Luggage storage is available. In summer, be sure to wear sunscreen and stay hydrated.
