The man, surnamed Fang, 26, from southern Guangdong Province, was arrested in his hometown at around 4am on Saturday. Another 16 men have been arrested in the province and a handgun, bullets and other weapons confiscated.
On April 7 a gang of more than 40 armed men drove to the Guangzhou Grand World Scenic and began shooting at security guards and smashing windows.

The gang quickly split into five groups targeting security offices around the park. A guard surnamed Cao looked out from a power supply room but was shot in the collarbone.
The thugs then punched and kicked another two guards, firing their guns and destroying equipment inside the power supply room. Other men attacked two entrances, security guard dormitories and a plaza in the park. The attack lasted for more than an hour, a witness said.
Police are continuing their investigations.
