Future

Three more amusement facilities at Chimelong International Ocean Resort on Hengqin officially started on 14 January 2015. The new construction projects include a 300-hectare ‘animal kingdom’, an indoor amusement park and a 5,000-seat circus.[3] On 4 December 2015, the Zhuhai municipal government and Chimelong Group signed a new investment agreement, covering construction of another four theme parks in Zhuhai, including Animal Kingdom, Ocean Adventure Park, Water Park and Future World Science and Technology Theme Park, with a total investment of over 50 billion yuan.[4] Construction started on the four new theme parks on 25 January 2016. Chimelong expects visitation at its Chimelong International Ocean Resort to increase to over 50 million annually once all five theme parks are operating.[5]
