On May 13 www.ynhouse.com visited the site of the park to check the progress. So far no construction can be seen and there's no Paramount signage promoting the theme park. Construction was scheduled to start in January 2021 but it's not necessarily surprising or concerning yet that nothing is happening besides some ground clearing.

This early concept art from 2017 is our first look at Peanuts Town, which so far has just been placeholder design and referred to as “Wonderland” - this specific image does not necessarily show Peanuts Town in Paramount Park in Kunming - it could be a design for London or Korea or just a general design with no specific park in mind but some aspects of this concept art match the plans for Paramount Park in Kunming and it’s the only park so far to confirm having a Peanuts Town.

On October 23 the chairman of the investment group that is developing the park met with the President/Deputy Party Secretary of China Metallurgical Group, which has participated in the design and construction of Shanghai Disneyland, Universal Studios Singapore, Universal Studios Beijing, Chimelong Ocean Kingdom and other theme parks. The topic of the meeting was "cooperation in theme parks and other fields".

This new aerial photo shows the future site of Paramount Park Kunming - it's the area on the far left where there's just empty land and some small beige buildings:
