How to Visit
1
Confirm that you are visiting Fantawild Adventure
Fantawild Adventure is the first-phase park focused on rides and high-tech interactive attractions. It requires a separate ticket from Silk Road Myth.
Tip:Confirm the park name before you leave because the neighboring park has a different entrance and ticket.
2
Buy a ticket for the visit date
Choose a full-day or, when offered, night ticket before arrival. Student, child, senior, and free-entry categories have separate eligibility rules, so bring the relevant identification.
Tip:Buy in the Fantawild Travel app or an approved booking channel, then use the ID linked to the booking for entry.
3
Choose the most practical route to the park
By car or taxi, head to 4111 Fantawild Avenue. Public transport options include Bus 12, Bus 9, and the Guancheng Scenic Area shuttle.
Tip:Choose the service that is most convenient from your starting point rather than adding an unnecessary transfer.
4
Start with popular indoor attractions
After entry, begin with Flying Over the Limit and Magic Castle, then move to outdoor rides such as roller coasters and the log flume.
Tip:This order prioritizes long-queue attractions before spending time on dining and photo stops.
5
Complete thrill rides while you have energy
If thrill rides are a priority, complete Fireball and Tanggula Snow Mountain first, then leave family rides and gentler attractions for later.
Tip:Keep backup choices because weather, maintenance, and crowd levels can affect ride availability.
Highlights
- High-tech attractions led by Flying Over the Limit and Magic Castle, suitable for first-time visitors to a large Chinese theme park.
- Tanggula Snow Mountain offers a relatively approachable roller-coaster experience.
- Fireball and the log flume suit visitors looking for speed, weightlessness, or a cooling summer ride.
- Indoor attractions, family facilities, and larger rides make the park workable for friends or families who split up and regroup.
Insider Tips
✦On a normal 10:00-17:00 day, prioritize long-queue attractions before dining and photo stops.
✦Schedule water rides for the warmer part of the day and bring a poncho or a change of clothes.
✦Ride availability can change with weather, maintenance, or crowd levels, so keep backup choices in your route.
✦Taxi demand may rise near closing time, so arrange your return before leaving the park if you are not driving.
✦If you want both Fantawild parks, a two-day two-park ticket at CNY 420-450 is more realistic than trying to complete both in one day.
