HK Disneyland Expansion Attracts Some, Not All

Many tourists from the Chinese mainland are excited by the news that Hong Kong Disneyland is expanding. It is one of the most popular spots in the city among mainlanders. But what do the locals think about the park, and what impact will it have on Hong Kong's tourism industry? Our reporter XX has this report.

Reporter:
As the fifth park of its kind in the world, Hong Kong Disneyland is a landmark tourist attraction in the region.

Hong Kong resident Philip Brain has two daughters. He says his family is thrilled to have an opportunity to visit Disneyland even before its expansion.

"When you get there, it is completely different with the castle and the avenue that was built where you can go to the Hong Kong Disneyland hotel. That is unbelievable. There is nothing like that in Florida or even Paris."

But with an area of only 126 hectare, it offers fewer entertainment programs compared to its counterparts in the United States and Europe. This means the number of visitors is often below the park's expectation.
