Chinese to Ride High at Amusement Park
PEKING — For about one-third of their monthly salaries, Chinese people will soon be able to sample the thrills of an American-style amusement park.
China’s biggest amusement park, complete with roller coaster, Ferris wheel and 3-D movies, opens next month northeast of Peking, the China Daily said Monday.
But local visitors may be deterred by the cost of entry. The newspaper said the admission charge will be $9. The average monthly wage in the capital is about $25, although many necessities are very cheap or subsidized.
The Miyun International Amusement Park, built alongside a reservoir for $7.9 million, will also boast a ballroom and a racetrack with 17 Mongolian horses.
