Following more than four years of extensive upgrades, Xiaomeisha Sea World officially reopened for trial operations on Oct. 1, attracting over 15,000 visitors eager to experience the revitalized attraction on the first day alone.
Covering a total area of 60,200 square meters, with a construction area of 132,500 square meters and a total water volume of 40,000 cubic meters, the newly renovated oceanic theme park now features five major exhibition zones. These include the Polar Pavilion, Tropical Pavilion, Whale and Dolphin Hall, and the expansive Azure Cave Hall.
Enhanced visitor experiences are a focal point of the redevelopment, with the park now boasting “five pavilions, four stages, and eight live performances,” displaying over 150,000 marine creatures alongside 200 rare species of flora and fauna. Technological upgrades include China’s first polar-themed flight theater, South China’s inaugural animatronic whale shark, the country’s first 360-degree laser projection show, and advanced sound and lighting effects.
The park’s highlights include a massive cylindrical tank showcasing “sardine storms” and a 360-degree laser projection show with stunning visuals and storylines featuring mascots.
Visitors can explore 17 interactive zones that merge traditional marine displays with cutting-edge multimedia, such as 3D and holographic projections that bring marine life and oceanic culture to life. The Polar Flight Theater offers an immersive experience, simulating sensations of weightlessness and flight.
Positioned as a leading cultural and tourism hub, Xiaomeisha Sea World now combines marine conservation, science education, study tours, and entertainment to create a comprehensive attraction for all ages. The park’s redevelopment integrates themes of experiential engagement, ocean and technology, and education with entertainment.
