Famous "Swiss mountain" theme park and resort in Shenzhen. Even if you are not into theme parks, this one is not to be missed. Visually stunning, OCT East has been called the “Universal Studios of China” and offers rides, golf, magic shows, luxury hotels, restaurants, spas, and—believe it or not—a scenic Swiss village. Nobody does theme parks like China! Plan to spend most of your day here (though you could spend a week). Noted in Time Magazine 29 November 2007 (opened 7 November 2007). Less

Evergreen Resort
4.5 of 5 stars 21 Reviews

Located at the base of Big Nanshan Mountain, Evergreen Resort is as much about enjoying stunning scenery as it is about offering family-friendly activities. The emphasis here is on the environment and educational fun, and though there are no rides, kid’s won’t be bored thanks to a butterfly park, an interactive rain forest (bring an umbrella), and an Amazon fish display.
