Hong Kong Disneyland Resort
Asia's second Disney resort, built on reclaimed sea where a shipyard once stood — the smallest Disney park on the planet.
Coming soon on iOS — be first to walk Hong Kong offline.
Opened 12 September 2005 on 320 acres of reclaimed land beside Penny's Bay, this joint venture between the Hong Kong Government and Walt Disney Company is the city's third theme park. Three hotels — including Disney Explorers Lodge — sit alongside retail, dining, and the main park across 1.3 square kilometres of Lantau Island's northeastern tip.
What to look for
- Disney Explorers Lodge, one of three distinct on-site hotels built within the resort grounds
- The reclaimed coastline of Penny's Bay — every square metre of land here was engineered from the sea
- The compact scale: at 320 acres, this is the smallest Disney park, a fact you feel walking it
Located on Lantau Island's northeastern tip, approximately two kilometres from Discovery Bay; the resort was constructed on a former shipyard site approved by Hong Kong's Legislative Council in 1999.

More to see in Hong Kong
- International Commerce CentreAt 484 m, this is the only building in Hong Kong with more than 100 floors — and it had to be trimmed down so it wouldn't overtop the surrounding mountains.
- Bank of China TowerThe first skyscraper outside the United States to break 1,000 feet — its glass triangles cut the Central skyline unlike anything around it.
- Central PlazaA four-bar neon clock 374 metres above Wan Chai changes colour every 15 minutes, blinking at each quarter-hour change.
- Hong Kong DisneylandThe only Disneyland where a walkway was deliberately bent so good qi energy would not drain into the South China Sea.
- The CenterAfter dark, hundreds of neon bars scroll slowly through the full color spectrum from base to crown — a light show wired into the steel itself.
- Tsing Ma BridgeThe span that ended Lantau Island's water-only isolation — 1,377 metres of road and rail hung from two towers.
