weekend.
The cost of Shanghai Disney park, except
the land, was first set at around 30 billion yuan ($4.4 billion), but now
increased to 40 billion yuan ($5.8 billion). Shanghai Disney park will be
located on the east bank of Shanghai's Huangpu River, near Changsha town, which
is only 20 minutes' drive from Pudong International Airport. It's said that the
park is about 10 square kilometres.
The Shanghai government once wanted
Shanghai Disney park to be built on Chongming Island. But many people and
experts think this area hasn't developed as fast as the city of Shanghai.
Moreover, it's too far away from Pudong International Airport.
