Universal Studios Sets Opening of First Theme Park in China

Universal Studios announced on Monday that its first theme park in China will open in the nation’s capital in September.

The 50 billion yuan ($7.7 billion) project in Beijing is Universal Studios’ first theme park in China and fifth resort worldwide.

The opening was delayed due to the coronavirus, with phase one expected to open in the “near future”

According to a statement and video posted on Chinese social media site Weixin, the company has set the opening date for September 20th.

Under construction since 2016, the theme park has received strong support from Beijing authorities, including the extension of one of the city’s main subway lines at the site.

There are a few hotels in the resort, in addition to tours, shows, restaurants and exhibitions.

The project will complement Universal’s other two Asian parks in Japan and Singapore.

The Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, and Kung Fu Panda movie franchises feature so many minions of the “Despicable Me” movies.

Beijing’s historic sites have long attracted tourists.
