This movie theme park is developed jointly by the Tuanpo Investment Development Corp and Tianjin Film Production Company. It is located at the northwest corner of the famed Tuanpo lake, where the Duliu River flows into the lake. The 36-hectare site is rectilinear. The long and narrow strip of land of about 197 hectares is also included in the master plan development as a natural buffer zone to the theme park. One of the challenges is to preserve the integrity of a bird sanctuary, which is next to the theme park site, greeting flocks of migrating birds annually.

Our design studies the existing but abandoned dams and water channels at the river inlet to the lake and used it to build attractions based on Tianjin’s history of river transport and its related early urban culture as a port city.

Tianjin’s colonial history is another content we used for the themed park. Movie sets from different concessions at the turn of the 20th century including French, English, Japanese, and Russian are created, and old trolleys are used as means of transportation for tourists in the park.

A film production zone is designed in the park to include movie stages, editing studios, and multimedia production facilities. Tourist routes are designed to separate from film and TV production traffic.

In addition to movie-themed entertainment, other attractions are designed in different zones of the park, including air disaster simulation, wetlands, mud-park, fishermen’s village, treasure island, water screen, and bird-watching paths.
