Thanks @Stevo71 yes you are correct Jinan park was announced and is listed on top of right column. Xi'an yes was also announced not sure why it was not included in this overview and Wenshang I don't recall at all.

Can anyone give an update on status of Wanda's theme parks/cultural tourism cities in Xi'an and Wenshang?

Here’s an updated overview of what’s in Wanda’s pipeline for the next several years:

This deal is becoming difficult to understand but it looks more like a reshuffle for their assets that a full scale sell off.

They are passing off the upkeep of the expensive parks and debts to another company whilst shuffling the management to another part of their business to make it look more profitable and make Chairman Wang a lot of money in the process. This makes me think we will see more changes as they try to reduce their debts from building so much in a short space of time.

Wanda Hotel Development, a Hong Kong-listed unit of China’s entertainment to property giant Dalian Wanda group, is to spend $1 billion to buy theme park and hotel management businesses from other parts of the group. Currently under siege, Dalian Wanda says that the moves will make Wanda Hotel an offshore “strategic platform.”

In a regulatory filing made late at night on Wednesday, Wanda Hotel Development said that it would pay $926 million (RMB6.3 billion) to Dalian Wanda chairman Wang Jianlin’s private company Wanda Culture to buy Wanda Travel. The company is mainly involved in theme park design, construction and operation management.

Wanda Group has announced that it will sell 91% of its cultural tourism city and 100% of its hotel operations to Sunac China Holdings for US$9.3 billion. The deal includes thirteen cultural tourism cities in Wenshang, Nanchang, Hefei (above photo), Harbin, Wuxi, Qingdao, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guilin, Jinan, Kunming, and Haikou.

Under the sales agreement, the cultural tourism cities will retain the Wanda name, with design, construction, and management to be continued by Wanda.
