(eap) The Beijing Haichang Ocean Park is set to open in Beijing’s Tongzhou district in 2027 and is expected to welcome more than 3.5 million visitors a year. The new aquarium complex is being developed by the Beijing Tongzhou Urban Construction and Operation Group and operated by Haichang Ocean Park. Following an international tender, California-based design firm Legacy Entertainment was announced as the lead planner for the new leisure destination.
“We are honored to have been selected as the designer of this highly-anticipated project,” said Eric Carnagey, Legacy Entertainment’s Managing Director. “With the combined talents of the involved parties, we have the opportunity to create one of the best and most unique marine life parks in the entire world.”
In the past, Legacy Entertainment has been responsible for the design of “The Sea Shell” at VinWonders Phu Quoc in Vietnam and the recently opened Chimelong Spaceship (see our article in EAP 2/2024) in Zhuhai, China.
“With each of our Aquarium projects, we aim to raise the bar for animal care and education outreach. For this new project in Beijing, we plan to combine these touchstones with an unprecedented degree of ‘Wow!’ factor to create a project that will not only stand out in China, but throughout the entire world,” adds Carnagey. ■
