Beijing Happy Valley(Beijing Happy Valley)

Beijing Happy Valley is a large cultural theme park developed by OCT Group, opened in 2006 and covering approx. 560,000 m². It consists of seven themed zones: fjord forest, Aegean harbor, lost Maya, Shangri-La, sweet kingdom, ancient civilization Atlantis, and happy times. From Nordic fjords and Aegean charm to Mayan ruins and Tibetan mysteries, the journey feels like switching scenes between continents, with themed views, rides, and live performances unfolding layer by layer, offering fun for both thrill-seeking youngsters and families with kids. Signature rides mostly involve "flying" and "plunging": the flying roller coaster "crystal wing" suspends passengers face-down, gliding over the park like a hang glider; "extreme speed" accelerates instantly via catapult launch, mimicking the G-force of an F1 race start; the jaw-dropping "odyssey journey" log flume dives into water with a soaking splash, especially popular in summer. For a breather, board the "energy collector" for a slow aerial panorama, or try Shangri-La's "Himalayan eagle·music roller coaster" and "golden wings over snowland," followed by the "Yarlung Zangbo rafting." Live shows set it apart from similar parks: the grand oriental myth spectacle "golden mask dynasty" has run for years at OCT Theater, while Shangri-La hosts the old Beijing stunt show "swallow Li San" daily, alongside daytime parades and nighttime illuminations that transform the park. Expect long queues for popular rides—hit top attractions like extreme speed and crystal wing early; water rides may soak you, so pack a raincoat; some thrill rides have height restrictions, making the vibrant, gentle-paced sweet kingdom ideal for families with kids.
