World Carnival, the world's largest touring carnival entertainer based in the UK, plans to build China's largest indoor amusement park in Inner Mongolia's Manchuri, the northernmost city in China, bordering Russia.

It is reported that World Carnival (China) Limited Company sent a fact-finding mission to Manchuri. The company believes that Manchuri, boasting a special geography and a 7-month-long heating season, is consistent with their indoor amusement park strategy and is a favorite candidate.

The proposed park would cover over 2.1 square kilometers, integrating local culture, amusement park, tourism, and shopping as well as Russian folk culture. It is expected to boost the local real estate industry and economic development.

World Carnival is listed as one of the three leading entertainment brands in the world, together with Disney and Hollywood.
