Grand World Scenic Park


Grand World Scenic Park is a former amusement park located at Dongpu, Tianhe District at the outskirts of Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

Description

The park covers a total area of 710,000 square metres. The total investment in the park is about 56.7 million yuan. The park features replicas of global landmarks.

Closure

A few years after opening, visitor number declined and the park got into financial trouble. As of 2017, the park is rented by a wedding photography business, with most of the attractions being in disrepair.

Worker relations

Since 2005 four fights have been reported by Guangzhou police between the amusement park and Yongshida workers. The disputes involve contracts, power supplies, and dormitories. On April 7, 2009, 40 men rampaged through the park destroying equipment and attacking workers with fishing forks, sticks, knives, iron bars and guns. Six security guards were hurt, including one who was shot. Police arrested 13 people in connection with the attack and seized 16 suspects in Guangdong province.
