The Sea World Shanghai project is located in Wusongkou, Baoshan, Shanghai, adjacent to Asia's largest cruise home port – Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal. Greenland Group and China Merchants Group jointly develop the project. The project has approximately 66,000 square meters of a waterfront tourism MALL, approximately 38,000 square meters of Grade A office buildings with river views, approximately 25,000 square meters of vacation and leisure apartments for families, and a Cordis Hotel. The project is about to be completed and is planned to be put into use within this year. The development of this project symbolizes the evolution of Shanghai’s urban development, driving the urban renewal of the old industrial zone and dock shoreline in Wusongkou. It triggered a new wave of innovation and promoted the transformation of Baoshan's industrial structure from "steel flower" to "wave flower" - achieving the transformation from the steel manufacturing industry to the urban service industry dominated by the cruise economy. The overall design of the "land cruise" shaped by the project echoes through the intersection of the Wusongkou International Cruise Terminal, integrating functions such as office, shopping, entertainment, and vacation. The project provides a high-quality living and leisure destination for the northern area of Shanghai. It is also a high-end urban complex rooted in tradition, oriented towards the future, and full of innovative characteristics, standing as a successful example of Shanghai's urban renewal.
