Shanghai Disneyland will feature a series of unique attractions, the global media company's chairman and CEO said on Wednesday.

Contrary to the belief in some quarters that the Shanghai park will be like others elsewhere in the world, it will be a "China Disneyland - authentically Disney and distinctively Chinese", Robert Iger, chairman and chief executive officer of the Walt Disney Co said during a visit to Beijing.

There will be a castle and other attractions that are new or different to attractions elsewhere but which have some similarities, Iger said.
