A new beginning for The Great World

Amusement park to reopen as a hub for cultural heritage

Shanghai's oldest indoor amusement park Dashijie, or The Great World, will be reopening in late March, more than a decade since it closed down due to poor management.

However, the venue - it used to be the largest of its kind in the city - will not reprise its role as an amusement park but as a venue that showcases intangible cultural heritage from around the world.
