The 2nd one was the 5D ride comparable to the Soaring Over the Horizon in Shanghai Disney Resort. It was about a history of something. Still it was nice even if its in Chinese.

Reviews from Real Guests:

roiberador: Hengdian World Studios - Guangzhou & Hongkong Streets 160 rmb - a little bit expensive but i was surprised how the price was totally worth it eventhough they open at 1pm to 8pm. I was there after 1pm walking around and was thinking why i paid such a big amount when the views are normal. Please check the schedule of their shows. I liked the gun fight and the magic show. I did not like the show where they were using a jetski and there is a boat of pirates i think. BONUS: this is what made me realize why it was really worth it. At night, the place just totally changes and it becomes so nice and lively! Watch the last or prime time show! They start the show at the streets and they go around in different spots with a story. The show ends in the big square where the stage was totally awesome!
