Hong Kong Disneyland features a real
mountain behind the castle, a first for any
Disney Park, providing a beautiful and unique
backdrop to the iconic castle.
The placement of the castle in relation to the
mountain was carefully designed with the
consultancy of a feng shui expert to ensure
harmony.

The initial layout of Hong Kong Disneyland is
greatly inspired by its sister park, the original
Disneyland Park in California. The design
of the original Sleeping Beauty Castle was
inspired by the realNeuschwanstein Castle
in Bavaria, Germany and was designed by
legendary Imagineer, Herbert Ryman. (The
expansion of Hong Kong Disneyland’s castle
will be completed soon)

Hong Kong’s natural landscape and vibrant culture have inspired Walt Disney
Imagineers to create a variety of attractions and entertainment offerings that are
unique to Hong Kong Disneyland theme park. The park consists of seven themed
lands, namely Main Street, U.S.A., Fantasyland, Adventureland, Tomorrowland,
Toy Story Land, Grizzly Gulch and Mystic Point. It features some of the best and
classic attractions and entertainment offerings from other Disney parks around the
world, as well as some exclusive attractions created for Hong Kong Disneyland.
