Inspired by the ancient Chinese mythological collection Shan Hai Jing (the Classic of Mountains and Seas), this indoor parent-child amusement park effectively blends classical Chinese architectural elements with modern cyberpunk style. Its primary objective is to create an immersive play experience and deepen the emotional bond between family members.



The park's story is based on the well-known legend of Penglai, a fabled abode of immortals, in Shan Hai Jing. It builds a narrative of the four protagonists' adventures in the galaxy of "Shanhai Star," where technology meets mythology. The story conveys the importance of courage and communication and encourages people to explore the unknown. The interior design of the park uses the four diverse and engaging characters from the story as visual cues, which can be seen everywhere, inviting visitors to join them in their adventures. These anthropomorphic character designs contain animal and mechanical elements, which incorporate the characteristics of the Chinese style, symbolizing the harmonious symbiosis of nature and mankind, technology, and tradition. To further demonstrate the fusion of traditional glamour and modern innovation, elements of traditional Chinese architecture, such as round doorways, bay windows, and arches, are used in this space. Furthermore, a futuristic pinkish-blue colour palette is added, creating a platform for cultural exchange across time and space.



Functionally, the park is not just a place for fun but a space designed to foster emotional communication and interaction between parents and children. It is equipped with diversified entertainment programs, including slides, ocean ball pools, and children's vocational experience areas, to meet the diversified play needs of children. At the same time, it is equipped with leisure facilities such as catering areas, snack stalls, and a plush toy zone that provides a comfortable rest and communication space for the entire family. The park is committed to promoting emotional communication and interaction between parents and children, understanding the importance of these bonds in a family's life.
