Here is a very interesting article about Legoland Shenzhen:

According to the industrial development supervision agreement of the land on the Shenzhen land and mining rights trading platform, the project name is “Shenzhen Legoland Project”. The above-mentioned land can only be used for the construction of the Shenzhen Legoland Project, and the land use period is 30 years.

In addition, the agreement also stipulates overall indicators. For example, the total investment of the project should reach more than 4.7 billion yuan; the investment intensity of fixed assets of the project should not be less than 8000 yuan per square meter; the number of people entering the park in the first full year after the project is put into operation should reach 2 million people second-class requirements

Today the groundbreaking ceremony took place!

"While maintaining the authentic LEGOLAND® experience, there will be innovative designs, new themed areas, rides and immersive shows launched for the China market. The LEGOLAND® Shenzhen Resort will integrate the history, culture and ecology of Shenzhen and China. The park will also be a smart park, celebrating technological innovation, imagination and creativity in Shenzhen. The Resort will include a combination of indoor and outdoor play areas to account for the climate in Shenzhen. MINILAND, one of the core areas of all LEGOLAND® Parks, will be indoors to create a large, themed area with high-tech digital interactive experiences, while paying tribute to the beauty of Shenzhen and China through representative landmarks, cultural and everyday life scenes. In echoing local characteristics, we have also developed a live show exclusively for Chinese families, and the Resort will feature the world's largest LEGOLAND® theatre with more than 1,000 seats. Playful learning is a unique feature of all LEGOLAND Parks with educational interactive offerings such as creative robot workshops, the Driving School and the Rescue Academy which will all feature at the Shenzhen resort.”

- Siegfried Boerst, General Manager of LEGOLAND Shenzhen Resort
