Has severe RBF but is fairly jolly and carefree on the inside. Degree of life satisfaction is heavily influenced by food.

POP MART collectors, your hobby could be more than just a figure on your shelf or a keychain on your bag, it can be a whole, full-day experience. You'll just have to go on a holiday to China and visit POP LAND Beijing (北京泡泡玛特城市乐园), a POP MART theme park dedicated to some of the most popular POP MART characters. Everything you do, see and eat will be revolved around your favourite figurines!

Unlike traditional theme parks with daredevil roller coasters, POP LAND is designed as a relaxing sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of Beijing's city life, much like Ghibli Park in Japan. Still, there's a lot of fun to expect from this theme park. Located in Chaoyang Park, the sprawling, 40,000-square-metre space is packed with themed installations, entertainment, shopping and dining experiences.

There are four zones to explore: POP Street, a shopping & photo spot; LABUBU Adventure Forest, a natural forest where THE MONSTERS live; MOLLY's Castle, the pouty girl's grand 4-storey residence; and a peaceful Lakeside Area with a floating DIMOO-themed restaurant.

POP Street

The posing and photo-taking starts right when you enter as the first zone is a colourful street of installations featuring some of the most iconic POP MART characters including LABUBU, SKULLPANDA and PUCKY. It's also your chance to get some retail therapy and stock up on merchandise including park-exclusive ones.

Seamlessly blended with Chaoyang Park's natural landscape, this forest is the home of POP MART's THE MONSTERS family including LALABU - everyone's current obsession.

Visitors will feel like they've stepped into a fairytale world as they encounter unique areas such as the mysterious fishing village, the elf tree house, and the warrior tribe. There's a good chance that visitors will run into THE MONSTERS themselves in their natural habitat.

This forest area also has a large outdoor kids playground with a bouncy house, rope swings, slides, climbing nets and mazes.
