The Ocean World will have a high tech theme throughout, from the spaceship inspired architecture to the virtual reality experiences inside. Separated into 10 unique zones, the museum will feature animals from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, which can be viewed inside the immersive exhibit area. Models, lighting, and visual effects will enhance the experience by displays of ancient seabed with extinct fish and other sea creatures. Interactive multimedia terminals throughout the park will tell the story of particular species of animals, allowing children to learn about how they live in the ocean.

The building share size, progressive design, as well as integration of menagerie, edutainment, and entertainment will make the aquarium stand out among other similar projects worldwide. Functions, such as breeding and R&D, are also planned. The project also features structural engineering breakthroughs involving the basin foundation and the dome structure.
Hetzel Design teamed up with Legacy entertainment to produce concept design for this groundbreaking facility. Legacy provided creative direction, storytelling and show design, while Hetzel was in charge of architecture, planning and exterior design esthetics.

Introducing the World’s Largest Indoor Theme Park: Taking ‘Wow Factor’ to the next level, the Chimelong Marine Science Park in Zhuhai, China has changed the game for indoor theme parks. Throughout its nearly 4 million square feet, this one-of-a-kind facility offers its visitors a wide array of world-class marine life exhibits, family rides, and first-of-their-kind attractions.

Built as a second gate for the adjoining Chimelong Ocean Kingdom theme park, the Chimelong Marine Science Park has been designed as the ultimate complimentary companion for its neighbor. Within this colossal climate-controlled facility, visitors will be treated to rides, shows, and attractions completely distinct from those in the Ocean Kingdom, and the indoor nature of the park guarantees a perfect visit every day of the year, regardless of the Greater Bay Region’s extreme weather. This is truly an experience that must be seen to be believed.

Fun Fact: With nearly 4,000,000 square feet, exceeds the area of the previous ‘World’s Largest Indoor Theme Park’ record holder by double.

Why are you so upset? did I say everything about it was sole done by China? we live in a globalized world, this is why trying to isolate someone or oneself is just utterly stupid.

Well you are correct as most of the stuff China does usually has some Westerners/Russians lurking in the background giving them guidance.

I don't know why I should even be pointing this out anymore.

Just look who designed your tall buildings dominating your skylines:

LOL! I have no problem with other "evil Western country white Masters" being involved in our projects. We never feel the need to scream "indigenous" at them.

We don't go through every US made product to see how many foreign elements in them, you have a very strange behavior here, we all know why. besides, why western designers don't build these mega buildings in the west but in China?

I'm not saying there are no foreign elements. I'm saying when it comes to engineering and design it seems like a certain country (that loves to say indigenous all the time) still relies on calling on the 'ole "Western slave Masters" to help them solve something.
