This season, Tianyu has more than 30 festivals confirmed and will see dreamy ice and snow worlds full of divine beasts, rain forests with scenes of wildlife, oceans and coral reefs bursting with sea life, and the Egyptian Nile River with crocodiles and hippos. Guests can expect new features and even more ambitious designs.

 

Follow Koda, a young boy as he wanders through a magical and enchanted forest in Koda’s Journey to the Magic Forest. This experience features a 50-foot lantern tree, the highest lantern Tianyu has ever produced. Eighteen large lantern scenes are expected this year.
