Chenzhuang is the site of a partially built amusement park called "Wonderland", whose construction was abandoned in 1998. The aim of the developers was to build the largest amusement park in Asia, but they ran into disagreements with the local government and the farmers over land prices. An attempt to restart the construction in 2008 proved unsuccessful.[3]
