Dalian Discovery Kingdom (Chinese | Mandarin:大连发现王国) also referred as Dalian Discoveryland or Kingdom of Discovery, is an amusement park located in the Jinzhou District in the city of Dalian. Opened in 2006, it is currently the largest amusement park in the Liaoning Province in the People's Republic of China.
Attractions

The most notable feature of the park is a giant stony-looking fortress built within a small lake in the centre. During the theme parks' opening season a parade roams through the internal paths at noon everyday, entertaining the visitors. At night fireworks are set off for the leaving visitors seeing their final exhibition.
