In 2021, Yancheng spent RMB 500 million to build a paradise for children, because of a book.

In 2016, Professor Cao Wenxuan won the Hans Christian Andersen Award, which is the first time a writer of China has won this honour. He was born in Xuefu Town, Yancheng, where the Caofangzi Theme Park now located. His novel, “The Thatched Houses” was selected into the “New China 70 Years 70 Novels Collection”.

Five years later, Yancheng invested RMB 500 million, in order to build a realistic “The Thatched Houses” world,  a rural paradise for children.

Exclusive exploration base for children

Caofangzi Theme Park divided into four themed areas, each with different characteristics and experiences, including the way to school, reminiscences, diathesis advance, and education.

Satisfy children’s fairy tale fantasy

The eight fairy tale parks include Lemon Butterfly Park, Cute Bird Park, Sound of Nature Park, etc. Each theme has various style, so the things that able to play are also different. Every child can find their own happiness in these eight paradises.

New base for a rural experience
