Shanghai Disney Resort has emerged as a premier cultural tourism destination, drawing an increasing number of visitors since its opening by blending Disney storytelling with Chinese cultural elements, according to a report released by the China center for international economic exchanges on Wednesday.

The report said that the resort has welcomed over 100 million visitors since opening, marking remarkable success with its "Authentically Disney, Distinctly Chinese" approach. This strategy has produced innovations, including the globally popular character LinaBell and the world's first Zootopia-themed land.
