According to the new planning and project implementation, seven theme parks will be built in the downtown of Kunming and surrounding suburban counties, including Evergrande Fairyland, Blue Light City of Joy, Fantawild Animation Park, Kunming Beluga Whale Fantasy World, Dianchi Ocean Park, Sunac Kunming Culture and Tourism City, Shilin Seven worlds Culture and Tourism Project, and Water Park of Dianchi International convention center.  Public information shows that OCT, Wanda, Fantawild, Northstar and other well-known enterprises have entered Yunnan.  Among them, the first phase of the World Heart with the theme of “fruit man" has been built, but it has not been opened to the public yet.  The second phase is under planning, and the overall project is expected to be presented to the public in the first half of 2020.

Seven theme parks will be opened in the next few years in Kunming.
The construction project of Kunming Fantawild includes two theme parks, namely Fantawild Oriental Painting and Road of Rejuvenation.  The total area of the two parks is about 2,000 mu (1,333,333 sq.m), with a total investment of about 6 billion yuan (895 million USD).  The construction period is expected to be two years.  Sunac Kunming Cultural and Tourism City covers an area of about 3400 mu (2,266,666 sq.m), which will include Snow Amusement Park, Ocean Amusement Park and Flying Theater.  With an investment of 20 billion yuan (3 billion USD), the first phase of Beluga Whale Fantasy World covers an area of 1093 mu (728,667sq.m) and is scheduled to be completed by National Day in 2020.  Shilin Seven worlds Culture and Tourism Project covers an area of 6,387 mu (4,258,000 sq.m), with a planned investment of 6 billion yuan (895 million USD).
Apart from Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna and other cities and towns in Yunnan also attract various capital cities to get involved in the tourism market through their high-quality natural environmental resources.  For example, Yunnan OCT Spring Water Park opened in October 2013.  Xishuangbanna Wanda Theme Park opened in 2015.  Shilin Snow Park opened in 2016.  1903 Fantasy Federal Park and Maitreya Lake Spring Water Park have opened in 2017.  Colorful Yunnan Paradise has opened on July 5, 2018.  Industry insiders predict that the number of theme parks in Kunming is expected to exceed 10, and it will continue to receive capital in the future in the next two years.
