Shanghai Sheshan National Tourist Resort is staging a series of festivities in its Playa Maya Water Park and Happy Valley, offering an enticing getaway from the summer heat.

Now summer is starting to sizzle, the Playa Maya Water Park is under trial operation and is open from 10:00 to 17:00 every day. It will officially open to the public on June 29.

The newly upgraded water park covers an area of nearly 200,000 square meters, and in addition to a number of water rides, it also features the newly constructed Magic Water Town.

The Magic Water Town, covering an area of 30,000 square meters, is hosting a diverse array of fun and entertaining rides for the whole family, such as the water turbo drop, which has been introduced from Canada, a water castle, paddling area and 80 other attractions.

In all, there are five entertainment areas for family interactions, such as the Animal Kingdom, the Secret Places of the Ocean, and the Happy Jungle, as well as more than 100 water games.

The park's entertainment features more than 100 dancers hailing from all over the world who will put on spectacular daily performances. In the evenings, DJs will host "Wild Maya" a live music gala.

In addition, seven water-themed entertainment activities including foreign-styled stage performances, music galas and pub activities will bring a completely different summer experience to visitors.
