You can soon live out your “Little Mermaid” fantasy in Shanghai, as the city shapes up for yet another theme park, this time of the aquatic variety.


That would be Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park, which is slated to open in Pudong of August 2018 with exhibits spanning deep sea creatures, the polar region, a volcano, and yes, a mermaid bay, according to Shanghai Daily.


Located near Dishui Lake in Lingang New City, the park will have six pavilions, three performance venues, two cinemas, and 10 amusement facilities covering the arctic landscape, the high seas, and volcanic activity. It’s billed as the world’s most advanced fifth-generation large-scale marine park.



There will be an overhead aquarium big enough to fit blue whales and you can watch penguins waddle about in groups. You can also see whale sharks, orcas, jellyfish, and get on a dolphin roller coaster. At night, sleep at the park’s ocean-theme hotel.


If your thalassophobia — that’s a fear of the ocean — takes over, then hop on the park’s cable cars and trains, which lets you experience volcanic drift.


Haichang calls themselves China’s largest ocean theme park operator, and the company operates 11 parks in Dalian, Qingdao, Chongqing, Chengdu, Tianjin, Wuhan, and Yantai. They’re currently building another one in Zhengzhou. Soft opening of Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park starts in August before an official launch on September 28.
