the Ocean Kingdom resort will reportedly be open to visitors in Hengqin before the Chinese New Year.

According to a Zhuhai local newspaper and Macau Daily News, the Hengqin Bay hotel will open on Saturday (January 18). The remaining events and facilities will be open for business before the Chinese New Year, which begins at the end of this month.

A site tour was offered to some media representatives last week. Entertainment items such as a roller coaster, an aquarium of whales and sharks, and a firework presentation were shown to the journalists, according to the Zhuhai newspaper.

Hengqin island was at china mainland, because i was at macau and being confused with my visa to get through to see chimelong...
before, its easy for us to have three days visa with 168 rmb from macau to zhuhai.. Now? We used to refused to entering mainland, they cant explain it in mandarin, cantonese even english.. Only said, sorry we cant help you..maybe using travel agency can be better from macau.
and that is true, mainlanders need visas to entering macau..

Hang on... there is something I don't get. In the same article I read:

Mr Wu said the opening of the Chimelong resort could bring more visitors from Hong Kong to Macau as some might stay in hotels here after visiting the resort.

But the opening might not bring more visitors from the mainland to Macau because mainlanders needed visas to enter the city, he said.

Now is Hengqin Island in China or in Macao? My Google and Bing Map tells me it is Mainland China territory? Or has the Macao border just been extended, to accomodate a theme park?!

Macau travel agencies have yet to offer package tours to the Chimelong International Ocean Resort on Hengqin Island, but they are willing to.
A Hong Kong travel agency, Hong Thai Travel Services Ltd, began advertising two-day package tours to the resort on Monday.

The tours cost between HK$939 (US$121) and HK$1,829 per person, the prices including the cost of admission to the resort’s ocean theme park, which is 380 yuan (497 patacas) for an adult.

The main elements of the Chimelong resort are due to open before the Lunar New Year at the end of this month.

The Chimelong hotel will have 1,888 rooms and should begin operating this week. Hong Kong’s Ming Pao Daily News has reported that the ocean theme park will probably begin trial operations on January 18.
