ONE of Shanghai’s largest water parks was found to have been operating without license for a year, resulting in safety hazards for visitors, inspectors said yesterday.

Shanghai Sanjiagang Haibin Water Park, located on Huaxia Road in the Pudong New Area, features a 10,000-square-meter open-air pool.

With an entrance fee of 80 yuan (US$12.88), it can attract 15,000 visitors on busy days.
