The Fangtawild Adventure Theme Park proving to be a big tourist draw
Updated: 2012-08-13

In the first half of 2012, the Fangtawild Adventure Theme Park in Wuhu city received more than 1.7 million tourists, with total ticket revenue of 255 million yuan ($40 million). It has become a real hit for both Chinese and foreign travelers.

Since the beginning of 2012, the park has brought in many high-tech facilities that have won the recognition of visitors. The number of visitors has increased significantly, especially during the summer holiday season.

The park launched a "Venice Water Festival" in the beginning of July. The festival will last for two months until the beginning of September. A range of leisure and Olympic-themed activities have become popular recently, such as the Mystical Valley, Water Zone, Carnival Water Fight, the Antiphonal-Style Singing, High Dive, Hurdle Race, Relay Race, and the Olympic Dive Show.

The park has invited some diving champions to put on a show on the three-meter and six-meter springboard. The two-month festival will give visitors not only an entertainment feast, but also the opportunity to experience the Olympic spirit.
