How to Visit
1
Choose the correct Fantawild park
Make sure your destination is Fantawild Silk Road Myth, not the neighboring Fantawild Adventure. The two parks have different themes, entrances, and tickets.
Tip:Lock in the park name before booking transport because a ticket for one park does not cover the other.
2
Buy the correct ticket for your visit date
Choose a full-day or, when offered, night ticket through the Fantawild Travel app or another approved booking channel. Prepare the relevant identification for child, senior, student, or free-entry categories.
Tip:Use the ID linked to the booking for entry and allow time for security checks before the first show.
3
Use the park's transport anchor
From the city, Bus 4 serves the park area. By car or taxi, navigate to 558 Boyuan Road.
Tip:The park is easy to reach from central Jiayuguan, but a taxi can be more convenient when travelling with children or bags.
4
Build the route around showtimes
Check the day's performance schedule first, then fit rides between fixed-time indoor shows so you do not miss a performance.
Tip:Start with cultural shows if they have limited sessions, rather than joining the first long ride queue you see.
5
Mix cultural attractions with thrill rides
Begin with The Butterfly Lovers, Nuwa Mends the Sky, Dunhuang Treasures, and China's Glorious History, then choose roller coasters and high-thrill rides according to your comfort level.
Tip:Checking height requirements before joining a queue saves time for families with younger children.
Highlights
- A theme park built around the Silk Road, Dunhuang, and Chinese mythology, well suited to visitors who prefer immersive shows and cultural storytelling.
- Productions such as The Butterfly Lovers and Meng Jiangnu combine live performers, mechanical sets, and visual effects.
- Dunhuang Treasures and China's Glorious History are good options for families and visitors interested in Chinese culture.
- The park combines theatres, dark rides, and thrill rides, making it easier to plan for a group with different interests.
Insider Tips
✦Regular and peak-season opening periods differ, so use the day's show schedule and ride availability as the basis for your route.
✦Arrive early for popular theatre shows and aim for central seating; check height requirements before joining queues with children.
✦The main attractions are walkable, so short-distance vehicle rental is usually unnecessary.
✦Jiayuguan has a large day-to-night temperature range, so bring a light layer even in summer and carry a simple rain poncho for water rides.
✦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.
