The much-anticipated Legoland Shanghai Resort on Monday announced the project handover to the operations team, officially launching its final pre-opening phase.
Construction of the resort in suburban Jinshan District officially began in 2021, involving 300 teams from 15 countries.
The handover ceremony featured a symbolic moment as the Legoland Shanghai Resort's project team presented a giant Lego brick-built key to the operations team.
The resort will launch operation rehearsal and trial operations before the grand opening on July 5.
Attractions, restaurants, shows and hotel rooms will be put to the test. During this period, the resort will open in stages, gathering feedback and making final adjustments to perfect the guest experience.

As the first international family theme park in the Yangtze River Delta region, Legoland Shanghai Resort is the ultimate Lego theme park and hotel destination for kids aged between two and 12 years and their families.
It features over 75 interactive rides, shows and attractions as well as thousands of Lego models crafted with more than 85 million Lego bricks across eight immersive "lands," that allow visitors' imagination and creativity to go wild.
