Shanghai welcomed its first-ever Legoland resort, attracting visitors with a giant 26-meter Lego figure named Dada.

Built with 85 million Lego bricks, the resort features Miniland — a detailed display of famous landmarks made from Lego, including China’s Temple of Heaven in Beijing and Shanghai’s Bund waterfront. Visitors can also take a boat tour through a Lego-built historic Chinese water town.

The park, developed in partnership with the Shanghai government by Merlin Entertainments and the LEGO Group, is one of 11 Legoland resorts worldwide.

Ji Yujia, a Lego fan visiting on opening day, described it as “a good recreation, like a real fairyland of Lego.”

Guests were greeted by performances featuring Lego characters. Tickets range from $44 to $84.
