Latest construction progress and concept art of Chimelong's new Hengqin Island Theater which will be opening in 2019





In addition the first construction permits have been submitted for the cable car stations for the resort's new transportation system. The cable cars will travel up to the peak of the nearby mountain and over to the upcoming Chimelong Marine Science Museum. At least part of the top of the mountain has already been closed off for construction.

Soft opening for Hero Island recently began at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom. So far the three new rides are still being built/tested but basically everything else is fully operational.

At the center of Hero Island is the stage for performances throughout the day



Before getting to the stage, guests who walk through Hero Island's main archway enter Festive Bazaar, which is modeled after what would be found on the main street of a town. For example, children can learn to how to make baked goods at the school, children can get temporary tattoos at the beauty salon and guests can play games to win prizes at the police station and fire station.
