This variety makes the park appealing for many tastes, from exciting rides to cultural landscapes.

The rides are a highlight; over 40 recreation facilities include some of the top attractions like the Crystal Gods Wing and Titan Car. These offer thrills for adrenaline junkies, but there are also plenty of gentler options suitable for younger children or those who prefer a relaxed pace.
