Work has officially begun on Vingroup’s new $1 billion VinWonders Vu Yen theme park, set to be Vietnam’s largest theme park. The new park, based on Hai Phong’s Vu Yen Island, covers 50 hectares at the intersection of three major rivers, Bach Dang, Ruot Lon and Cam.
VinWonders is part of an entertainment, housing, and eco-park resort, in a unique ecological space with convenient access to transportation connecting downtown and the surrounding areas. The new park will include six indoor and outdoor entertainment zones, catering for people of all age groups.
The zones will include attractions such as children’s play with science edutainment, sports, VR, rollercoasters, and an outdoor water park. An animal area focusing on environmental protection will help to educated guests about the local wildlife too, along with retail and dining spaces.
A ceremony last week, was held at the park to mark the progress made at the park, with prime minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in attendance. Mr Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice Chairman of Vingroup Group said, “The groundbreaking ceremony of VinWonders Vu Yen Theme Park today is an important event, marking the presence and integrity of the entire Vingroup brand ecosystem in Hai Phong city.
Mr Nguyen continued, “When completed, the continent’s leading theme park will bring impressive experiences to attract all domestic and international visitors, contributing to the strong development of Hai Phong tourism industry. Particularly and Vietnam in general.”
The new theme park marks the fourth by the chain within Vietnam. The other parks are based in Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Nam Hoi An, along with the Vinpearl Safari. The new park’s plans include the development of a new safari attraction, the first of its kind in northern Vietnam.
