These attractions create a comprehensive marine-themed tourism experience that includes theme parks, hotels, cultural performances, exhibitions, dining venues, and leisure activities.
At the seminar, Mr. Shiping CHEN shared the history of Chimelong Group, the Group’s vision of “TO BE THE WORLD-CLASS CULTURE AND TOURISM BRAND” and the mission of “CREATE JOY DELIVER HAPPINESS”.
