Where is it in nanchang? I lived there for almost a year. The website was more an add for a shanghai company than a picture of the ferris wheel. Nanchang had an amusement park called something like the "Worlds park". It was on the outside of the city and almost abandoned. If you have every been on the highway coming into Nanchang you will see this strange castle sticking up for the top of a mountain, that is it. We went to the gate and there was a guy sleeping in the booth who was happy to charge us 15 rmb to get in. There were chickens living is some of the houses and even a fake pyramid and Statue of Liberty. The castle was actually plaster and only stood about 15 feet high. It was an optical illusion from the road with the way the trees had been cut to make it look bigger. There is no other amusement park around Nanchang to my knowledge but I was there 2 years ago and cities in China are changing so fast it is hard to keep up.
