Published on May 31, 2020 at 19:38. In the childhood of every post-80s and early post-90s generation, there should be a group of lively Smurfs. At this moment, the song ‘Beyond the mountains, beyond the seas, there is a group of Smurfs. They are lively and clever, they are naughty and sensitive’ will reverberate in our ears. Now, there is a Shanghai Shimao Dream City Theme Park – Smurfs Park themed with the Smurfs IP officially opened in Shanghai Sheshan National Tourist Resort. After seeing the opening news online, as a Smurfs fan, I went to the park to check in as soon as possible. Next to the Smurfs Park is the popular online hotel, the Quarry Hotel – InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland. It is simply the best choice for a short-distance tour in Magic City! With my memories of childhood and longing for the park, I arrived at the park early. I just happened to encounter the grand opening of the park. The lovely Smurfs puppets are performing on the stage. It is full of the taste of childhood. After taking a quick look at the opening ceremony, I couldn’t wait to enter the park to check in. Shanghai Shimao Dream City Theme Park is divided into the Quarry Secret Realm Park and the Smurfs Park. This time, I am definitely here for the Smurfs Park. This Smurfs Park in Magic City is the first Smurfs Park in the Asia-Pacific region. There are several areas inside, including the forest area, the village area, Gargamel’s home, etc. The Smurfs are definitely the protagonists throughout the journey. Here, there is also a challenge with 17 check-in points. You can pick up a park map at the entrance. If you collect all 17 stamps, you can exchange for a small gift. Entering the Smurfs area, I just happened to encounter the float parade. Papa Smurf, Smurfette, and Gargamel all appeared one by one and had an intimate interaction with tourists. It is so cute! The performers, both male and female, are very enthusiastic. If you bring a baby here, you can also get an interactive small balloon. It feels like this is really a paradise for children. After watching the float parade, of course, it’s time to play all the projects in the park one by one. Next, I will focus on recommending several interesting and must-play projects. Sisters, come and take a look. First is the forest area. The dense forest isolates the modern atmosphere. The first thing to play is the forest maze, which is also the forest that appears in the Smurfs animation. Here, children can play hide and seek together and see who catches whom first. Berry Swing, a 360-degree ‘small pendulum’, is just right for children. They no longer have to suffer from height restrictions.
In the forest area of the Magic Mirror Grand Transformation, your photograph can be placed onto the body of a Smurf and saved to your phone as a souvenir. It is truly amusing, and you can choose different backgrounds to combine with it. Next is the village area, which is said to hide the most fun and thrilling attraction in the entire park: the Berry Coaster. Sitting in the berry-shaped revolving train, you can experience the excitement of speed and passion. Considering the care for children, this roller coaster is quite mild, but it has its own characteristics! It actually spins by itself! While spinning, you can enjoy the thrill of the roller coaster, something that cannot be experienced anywhere other than the Smurf’s Park! Baking Jam Cups, sit in each jam cup and help Baking stir his jam! Feel the illusory yet real sense of dizziness in the fairy tale world. Painting Magic Brush, it gives children and parents a burst of artistic inspiration to become a little painter. When you see your painted colorful Smurf come to life on the screen, isn’t it super fulfilling? This adds more technology to the simple drawing, making it feel like children can draw here for an afternoon. Smurfette’s Garden, just by its name, it is very fresh, and even the seats of the amusement facilities are flower-shaped. The gentle up and down motion is very suitable for little girls to play. In the world of the Smurfs, there is only one villain character, Gargamel. His repeated failures are always the source of children’s happiness. Of course, there will also be Gargamel’s home in the Smurf’s Park! The first thing you see is the Dark Laboratory, a ‘scary’ haunted house, where spider cricket props will appear from time to time to scare you. Friends with small courage should walk together. Swamp Adventure: Use the launcher in front of the seat to shoot simulated berry bullets, hitting the bad guys Gargamel and Azrael on the 3D screen. Every hit gets points, and the more monsters you hit, the more points you get. In the Gargamel area, there is also a small drop tower suitable for toddlers, Azrael’s Jump Tower. For the safety of children, its up and down frequency is also very mild and will not pose a danger to children. After a variety of challenges, help the Smurfs rescue Smurfette who was captured by Gargamel. The amusement projects here are also very thrilling! Finally, we come to the Da Mao area, with 8 fun projects that combine education and entertainment, allowing children to balance play and growth. The most recommended is the Wonder Flight, a 180-degree spherical screen combined with sound, light, and electricity, to enjoy a different shocking blockbuster! Mao Xian Wang 6D cinema is also full of technology, immersing into the animated world on the screen from multiple senses such as vision, touch, and smell, and going on an adventure with the protagonist.

Access to these two attractions is only available on the hour, so visitors planning to go should time their visit accordingly. Additionally, there is the Journey to the Center of the Earth, an indoor roller coaster ride that offers children a blend of virtual and real experiences, with interactive elements. The video features numerous geographical facts about the Earth’s core and crust, complemented by lighting, sound effects, and even fog, making it an educational experience while having fun. Within the Smurf Village, there are a multitude of colorful and diverse entertainment options, immersing visitors in a sea of flowers and leaves, or perhaps at the Elf Theater, where one can have an intimate encounter with the Smurfs. Visiting the world of the Smurfs, of course, means bringing back some souvenirs. The Elf Gift World in the park sells a variety of cute Smurf-related merchandise, allowing you to take home a Smurf or its friends. If you feel tired or hungry from playing in the park, there is a restaurant, the Smurf Restaurant, offering various Smurf-themed meal sets, making it a great place to rest your feet. The Smurf Village is filled with a fairy-tale atmosphere; stepping into it feels like stepping into another world, truly immersing oneself in the world of the Smurfs. The park is adorned with colorful designs and a strong sense of fairy-tale beauty, allowing children to play to their heart’s content. There are many floral decorations in the park, making it seem like the place where the Smurfs live. As a national treasure of Belgium, these blue creatures with white hats have been popular worldwide for many years. The entire park’s tour route narrates the story of the Smurfs’ wit and courage in their struggle against the evil wizard Gargamel, who seeks to capture them, with countless interesting stories unfolding along the way. Upon exiting the park, one might spot a blue and white mini-train, which is simply dreamy! This train connects the Smurf Village with the Deep Pit Secret Land, offering a ride for those who feel they can’t walk, allowing them to experience the treatment of a little prince or princess. If you wish to stay near the Smurf Village, there is a popular hotel, the InterContinental Shanghai Sheshan, known as the Deep Pit Hotel, which has become one of the hottest hotels in the Magic City in recent years, boasting an internet-famous status since its launch. Recently, a 6-meter-tall Smurf inflatable has also made a stealth visit to check in, with the Deep Pit combined with the Smurf inflatable, making it a truly photogenic spot. The Deep Pit Hotel is considered very unique in design among all hotels in Shanghai. It goes against the traditional architectural concept of developing upwards towards the sky, instead, it下探地表88米 to create building space, built against the cliff walls of the pit, and has been hailed by National Geographic as one of the ‘Top Ten Architectural Wonders of the World’. At the bottom of the hotel’s pit, one can easily see the Smurf inflatable, sitting leisurely by the pool’s edge. Seeing such a cute Smurf sitting there, of course, one must take a few trick photos. However, the weather is not favorable today, so we will come back on a better day to see you! On the other side of the Smurf Village is the Deep Pit Secret Land, which features various imaginative amusement facilities, such as the Elf Treehouse, Flying Over the Deep Pit, and the glass plank path offering the best angle to view the world’s architectural wonders.
