Attractions Visitors would need at least a month in China to visit all the attractions that it has to offer. It’s best to do your homework and find out everything there is to know about the wonders of China since not many people are able to take a month long vacation. Enjoy your visit there, and take in as many attractions as you can. You may not be able to be there as long as you’d like, but the residents of China will gladly accept you back to their beautiful country for years to come. Hong Kong Disneyland – Mickey Mouse will soon be making one of his homes in China! Opening in late 2005 or early 2006, Hong Kong Disneyland will become the second Disney theme park to be opened in Asia. Two hotels, retail shops, dining, and entertainment will make up the outskirts of the theme park.
