Construction has already begun on the China Silkroad Park Town, located in the White Bird Lake New Area in the Urumqi Economic and Technological Development Zone (Toutunhe district), according to a local report on May 18.
The China Silkroad Park Town will occupy a total area of around 1,000 mu (66.67 hectares). Its major project is the China Silkroad theme park, according to a manager of Xinjiang Jinmao Corporation Group Co Ltd, the developer of the project.
The project will be built in three phases. First-phase construction starts with the Golden Camel's Bell Zone, where tourists can have a taste of the style of Asian countries. The second-phase and third-phase construction are Future World Zone and Loulan Legend Zone. The park will recreate the most representative culture along the Silkroad through various entertainments.
The first-phase construction involves five zones: Golden Camel's Bell, Splendid China, Gorgeous Continent, Magnificent Winter Palace, and Magical Forest.
At the Golden Camel's Bell Zone, visitors will feel a bustling street and enjoy recreation facilities; at the Splendid China Zone, they'll be able to admire a float-parade and big-scale musicals and take a boat tour to appreciate the scenery of countries along the Silkroad; the Gorgeous Continent Zone offers various recreation facilities like climbing; the Magnificent Winter Palace Zone will be set against the background of Russia's natural sceneries and culture; and in the Magical Forest Zone, visitors may take a raft and enter a forest, embarking on an amazing journey.
The project is expected to complete construction and be open to the public in 2020.
