    Work is progressing quickly on the retail, dining, and entertainment area and to the left of that is where the waterpark will be:



    And just down the street construction walls with signage have gone up for the world's first Peppa Pig Resort. The signage shows the design for the resort's SEA LIFE aquarium:

    Despite the masterplan being shared online months ago, a "Legoland Sichuan Resort Master Plan Unveiling Ceremony" was just held. This Legoland will feature local cultural elements including the first "panda-themed experience zone". Plus, it seems all the Chinese Legolands will have a new area named "Legoland Creative World". Miniland will be located within Legoland Creative World and this Miniland will have displays showcasing landmarks and natural scenery found in Western China. The park is now scheduled to open in October 2023. Originally it was supposed to open in September 2023 so it's pretty much still on track.

    On August 20, the reporter saw at the construction site of the Tianfu Legoland project in Sichuan that nearly ten tower cranes were rotating in mid-air, transporting batches of construction materials such as steel bars and concrete to every required location. Hundreds of workers are busy on the front lines of production and construction such as steel bar making houses, land parks, water parks, underground garages in the RDE business district, and logistic office buildings. The construction site of the project is a hot scene.

    According to reports, up to now, the earthwork balance of the land and water parks of the project has basically been completed, and the main construction of the land park foundation pit, the underground garage of the RDE commercial area, the logistics office building and the procurement of special equipment are being carried out.

    This was close but it seems Merlin is going even bigger than just a theme park:



    Merlin Entertainments, a global leader in location-based entertainment with brands including LEGOLAND®, Madame Tussauds and SEA LIFE, announces that it has entered into a formal co-operation agreement to create the world’s first standalone Peppa Pig Resort in Meishan, part of Sichuan Tianfu New Area, China. This will be established in partnership with the Meishan Administration Committee of Sichuan Tianfu New Area, Zhongjun Tianxin (Beijing) Investment Co., Ltd., Chengdu Excellent City Property and Hasbro Inc.
    The Resort will be the world’s first ever Peppa Pig Resort, including a Peppa Pig Theme Park, a Peppa Pig Hotel, as well as a brand-new SEA LIFE aquarium positioned adjacent to the park. Families will be able to squeal with delight as they jump into the playful world of Peppa Pig for an unforgettable trip packed full of adventure. It has been designed to be the ultimate experience for pre-school children, with the theme park featuring multiple rides, interactive attractions, themed playscapes and water play areas - complete with “muddy puddles” - all based on instantly recognizable locations from the globally popular brand.
    Construction is due to begin in July 2021, and the Resort is expected to open in 2024, with Merlin and its Chinese partners dedicated to developing the attraction into a global flagship resort. The project will attract a combination of domestic visitors and foreign tourists, which will significantly contribute to Meishan’s employment and tax revenue and contribute to the further development of supporting industries. The new joint venture will also aid the rapid development of Sichuan's cultural tourism industry and raise the international profile of both Sichuan and Meishan.
    It turns out that plans for a Peppa Pig theme park in Meishan, Sichuan have been reported since September 7, 2020. The plots of land that have been purchased for Peppa Pig Resort seem to be located across the street from Legoland Sichuan Resort as opposed to being a part of/within Legoland Sichuan Resort, hence being referred to as “standalone”.
