China's biggest amusement park, built near the famous tourist city of Guilin in southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, opened Monday.

The park, 60 kilometers away from Gulin, covers an area of over 5,000 mu (about 333 ha), with a total investment of two billion yuan.

The first stage of the project has been completed, including a golf course, a theme park and a forest holiday village.

Tourism insiders said that the amusement park will add more charm to Guilin, which is known mainly for its natural beauty.
