Happy Valley Shenzhen (Chinese: 深圳欢乐谷) is a theme park in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China.

Opened in 1998, it is the first of the Happy Valley theme park chain.[1] Covering an area of 350,000 square metres (86 acres), the park is composed of nine themed areas including Spanish Square, Cartoon City, Mt. Adventure, Gold Mine Town, Shangri-la Woods, Sunshine Beach, Typhoon Bay, Playa Maya Water Park and Happy Times. The Playa Maya Water Park is open for five months (May to October) each year, and is themed after the Mayan civilization with buildings and statues in Mayan architectural styles. Outside the park a Happy Line monorail train has a stop near the entrance of Happy Valley.
