Quarry Hotel, 80m Waterfall & Smurfs Park

深坑秘境·精灵之城 (Shēnkēng Mìjìng · Jīnglíng zhī Chéng) is a unique entertainment complex built on the site of an abandoned quarry in Songjiang District, Shanghai. The main attraction is the famous InterContinental Shanghai Wonderland hotel, "carved" into the vertical wall of the quarry (18 floors, two of which are underwater). Next to the hotel is an 80-meter artificial waterfall cascading straight from the cliff.

Visitors can walk on the 100-meter glass bridge at a height of 88 m above the quarry floor, offering breathtaking views of the hotel, waterfall and underground lake. For families with children, the indoor Smurfs theme park (蓝精灵乐园) features 9 themed areas, rides, 3D cinema, carousels and meet‑and‑greets with beloved characters.
