When we were on our trip to Yingge we saw signs for LeoFoo Village so we googled it and discovered it's an amusement park! What could be a better way to start the Chinese New Year break? Plus, Leslie and B are here visiting! Hopes were high it would live up to the promises of the website, but we were also braced for it to end up like Enchanted Forest (pretty bare-bones kiddy park in Oregon and their website makes it looks way cooler than it is).

Turns out LeoFoo is Leo-Fab. Many similarities to Disneyland, including Mickey and Minnie look-alikes and different themed "lands" (Wild West, South Pacific, Arabian Kingdom and African Safari). We thoroughly enjoyed all the rides we went on - Screaming Condor (shot forward and backwards into the air super fast), Little Rattler, Old Oil Well (flipped upside down), Pagoda's Revenge (dropped from the sky), Mighty Mountain Flume Adventure (like Splash Mountain, we got wet) and Sultan's Adventure (like Indiana Jones).

We went in determined to have a good time regardless of how lame the park ended up being, but I think even debbie-downers would have fun here. It's no Disneyland, but it's still pretty impressive. We spent a full 4 hours there and could have stayed longer (alas, it was closing).

Ultimate verdict: we'll go back.
