A GROUND breaking ceremony will take place in Pudong today to mark work getting under way on the first Disneyland on Chinese mainland.
And more details of the Shanghai project - including the timescale, investment and ticket prices - are due to be unveiled today, according to the city government.
Shanghai Disneyland will be the third Disney theme park in Asia, following those in Tokyo and Hong Kong.
The cost of the first phase is estimated at 24.5 billion yuan (US$3.74 billion), Shanghai Mayor Han Zheng said in early March.
The theme park is about 21 kilometers from People's Square, 18km from Lujiazui, 12km from Pudong International Airport and 30km from the Hongqiao Transport Hub.
The city government regards the project as a vital element in its bid to make the city a world-class tourist destination within five years.
The first phase of the Shanghai project is expected to attract 7.3 million visitors a year when it opens in 2015.
Two Metro lines, Line 2 and Line 11, will converge at the area. Line 11 is included in the project's first phase while the Line 2 stretch will be introduced later. They will share a station inside the theme park, according to the project plan disclosed earlier.
