Oriental Park

Oriental Park is located by the Dajinzhong Reservoir at the foot of Baiyun Mountain in the city suburbs. It is a modern amusement park rich in local characteristics and ethnic charm, showcasing Chinese culture through advanced technology. It was the first Chinese member of the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions.

Covering an area of 240,000 square meters, Oriental Park features more than 50 large, medium, and small amusement facilities. These include thrilling modern mechanical rides such as the double-loop roller coaster, Ferris wheel, forest hunting, park train, space walk, and wave swing. There are also fitness and entertainment attractions like the Water World—comprising artificial waves, Rainbow Crossing, river drift, and children's pool—and a roller skating rink. Competitive entertainment options include car racing and electronic shooting. For sightseeing and enjoyment, visitors can explore attractions such as the Chinese Historical Figures Sculpture Museum, Joyful China, Circle-Vision Cinema, Oriental Journey, and ethnic culture reenactments like the Golden Bell Town.

Starting in 1987, Oriental Park has also hosted the annual “Guangdong Folk Art Festival.” The festival brings together the best of China’s ethnic and folk arts and cultural traditions, serving as a Chinese-style carnival. During the event, visitors can enjoy performances by artists from various ethnic groups including Yao, Miao, Zhuang, Tibetan, Yi, Li, Hani, and Uyghur, as well as participate in traditional celebrations such as the Dai Water Splashing Festival, Yi Torch Festival, and Yao weddings—all while dressed in colorful ethnic costumes. Additionally, guests can shop for a wide range of ethnic handicrafts and sample local snacks. This all-in-one experience combining sightseeing, participation, competition, fun, shopping, and dining attracts large numbers of both domestic and international tourists. With further development, Oriental Park aims to become a world-class amusement destination.
