Shanghai Disney Resort has named three of China's best-known personalities -- actress Sun Li, pianist Lang Lang and former NBA basketball player Yao Ming -- as honorary ambassadors, to better promote itself as a family-friendly attraction.

With 80 days to go until its grand opening on June 16, General Manager Philippe Gas awarded each of the personalities with a "storytellers" statue as a symbol of what he called his appreciation, respect and admiration for their new partnership.

Hugely popular for her roles in high-quality dramas, and also the mother of two children, Sun Li said: "Shanghai Disney Resort will offer such a vast variety of experiences and attractions that families will be able to spend multiple days exploring all that awaits.

"I know that my family will create many cherished memories here."

Lang Lang, the international pianist and United Nations Messenger of Peace, said his favorite Disney character was Capital Jack Sparrow, adding he is "looking forward to witnessing all the world-class entertainment" being offered at the resort.
