The Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone, which will include the Shanghai Disneyland theme park, will be bigger than initially planned after the municipal government approved an expansion plan in mid-December.
Located in the center of East Shanghai's Pudong district, the zone will cover a total area of 24.7 square kilometers, compared with the 20.6 sq km initially planned.
The main area, covering about 7 sq km, will have the Disneyland theme park as its core as well as other tourism, cultural and retail areas. The remaining 17.7 sq km will mainly have support facilities.
文中的tourism and resorts zone就是“旅游度假区”的意思,其中的resort在这里用作名词,解释为“旅游胜地、度假胜地”,如seaside resorts(海滨度假区)、health resorts(疗养胜地)等。resort也可以用作动词,其中较常用的一个意思是“诉诸、求助于”,如resort to the law(诉诸法律)、resort to violence(诉诸暴力)等。
