Leading Collection of First Stores and Flagship Stores Set to Boost Beijing’s Consumption Economy

Universal Beijing Resort (UBR) today officially released features and details on Universal CityWalk Beijing (CityWalk), the resort’s entertainment center. As one of the iconic features of Universal Beijing Resort, Citywalk will provide guests with a comprehensive and diverse range of entertainment, food and shopping, enhancing their visit with a vibrant and highly interactive atmosphere, giving them the freedom to explore endless possibilities.

CityWalk is set to open in 2021, together with Universal Studios Beijing, the Universal Studios Grand Hotel and the NUO Resort Hotel, forming Universal Beijing Resort. It is located at the main entrance of Universal Studios Beijing and connects the theme park, parking facilities and subway entrances, allowing guests easy access to the fun excitement without even having to enter the theme park. CityWalk will also feature several new concepts making their first-ever debut, further enriching a unique experience that can be found nowhere else.

“As the starting point of every guest’s UBR journey, CityWalk provides guests their first glimpse of the beyond-imagination experience they can expect at Universal Beijing Resort,” said Tom Mehrmann, President and General Manager of Universal Beijing Resort. “However, CityWalk is also designed to stand as a destination in its own right, as a new high-quality recreation and entertainment option for residents and tourists in Beijing. We believe CityWalk will drive the formation of a new cultural business center, giving a strong boost to Beijing’s economic development.”

As a one-stop entertainment center offering high quality dining, shopping and entertainment experiences, Universal CityWalk Beijing is a matrix of 24 venues, including a multiplex cinema, 15 distinctive food and beverage offerings featuring both Western and Asian cuisines, 8 world class retail stores, as well as a diverse range of 11 retail and food and beverage carts. Aiming to bring a fresh and unique experience to local consumers, the debut of CityWalk will center around five highlights.

Highlight 1: A leading collection of new brands, first stores and flagship stores make CityWalk one of Beijing’s largest centers of the “first store economy”.

Universal CityWalk Beijing will see the launch of three new brands – child-friendly Cutie Cones Ice Cream, Southeast Asian-style Neon Street Hawkers and vibrant CITYWALK WUBEI CRAFT FOOD AND BEER. The popular CITYWALK RED OVEN PIZZA BAKERY and The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar in Universal Orlando Resort will mark their first-ever debut outside of the USA. Kakao Friends, the beloved Korean cartoon characters, will also appear in their first flagship store in Beijing at Universal CityWalk Beijing. In addition, the famous trendy toys brand POP MART’s concept store worldwide will also debut in CityWalk. Located at the end of CityWalk, Universal CITYWALK – The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen will be the largest of any Universal theme park worldwide. The 600-square-meter Universal CityWalk Beijing location of Peet’s Coffee, originating in Berkley, California, will also be the largest in Asia.

Highlight 2: The largest commercial IMAX screen in Beijing will provide the remarkable IMAX with Laser experience for local moviegoers, which also marks the first resort destination IMAX theater in China.

Reflecting the important role of movies at Universal Beijing Resort, the state-of-the-art Universal CITYWALK Cinema is located at the center of CityWalk, set to become one of the most distinctive high-end cinemas in Beijing. Including 11 theaters and 2000 seats, the Cinema is specially designed to host premieres and VIP events, with the largest commercial IMAX Laser theater in Beijing.

Highlight 3: In addition to offering unique shopping and dining choices, CityWalk will also provide guests with diverse interactive experiences and high-quality services.

CityWalk’s one-of-a-kind restaurants are more than just a place to eat, they are fully immersive entertainment offerings that seek to make every guest say not just “yum”, but “wow”. Universal CITYWALK – The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen will feature an enchanting steampunk atmosphere, based around the story of Professor Doctor Penelope Tibeaux-Tinker Toothsome and Jacques the Robot, who appear onsite as they interact with guests in the restaurant. At The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar, guests will not only be able to enjoy a surprisingly delicious combination of hamburgers and sushi, but also connect their phones with a smart app in the waiting area to draw their own pictures on the big screen of the waiting area. Peet’s Coffee will include a bakery, retail area and hand-pour experience zone, allowing customers to enjoy a unique coffee experience in an unmatched setting. CITYWALK WUBEI CRAFT FOOD AND BEER, a craft beer restaurant combined with more traditional Chinese sights, sounds and tastes, will feature an exciting live music lineup at night. Blazing with neon lights, street signs, posters, and all the storefronts of a bustling local marketplace, Neon Street Hawkers brings the energy, glow, and taste of a Southeast Asian night market to Beijing. In addition, musicians and performers will make a regular appearance on the streets of CityWalk, while seasonal entertainment programs will be hosted in CityWalk’s riverfront park.

Highlight 4: In addition to the arrival of many new overseas brands, CityWalk will also feature innovative upgrades of numerous Chinese brands familiar to local consumers.

Popular eatery Grandma’s Home will be reimagined in an exciting “Grandma’s Travel Home” restaurant, which is being introduced to Beijing for the first time, joined by several local well-established brands, which will be announcing their innovative upgrades of new concept stores. With the unmatched location of UBR and innovative presentation of CityWalk, the inclusion of these local brands is set to give a strong boost to their wider market presence, while providing guests with yet another unique experience brought by cultural fusion at UBR.

Highlight 5: The overall design concept of CityWalk blends traditional Chinese and cutting-edge modern design, drawing on Chinese culture and Asian aesthetics to present a fantastic destination for excitement and exploration.

Featuring exotic elements and modern, bright and celebratory motifs, including several buildings in a Chinese style, CityWalk leads guests into the theme park, with architectural styles and the overall atmosphere gradually evolving along the journey. Red and gold colors run through the entire CityWalk before finally meeting the iconic Globe of Universal Beijing Resort at the plaza in front of the main entrance of the park, forming an image calling to mind two dragons embracing a pearl.

As a new center of Beijing’s nightlife, CityWalk will feature long operating hours to ensure the best services are always available for both early-bird tourists and nightlife fans. From a relaxing cocktail to an incredible feast or unforgettable shopping and entertainment, CityWalk will provide a full range of choices for Beijing’s nightlife, to ensure that there’s something for everyone, from an exciting night out to an evening of family fun.

UNIVERSAL BEIJING RESORT ANNOUNCES TWO EXTRAORDINARY HOTELS FEATURING INCREDIBLE GUEST EXPERIENCES

When it opens, Universal Beijing Resort will debut two extraordinary and world-first, hotel concepts: The Universal Studios Grand Hotel and the NUO Resort Hotel – Universal Beijing Resort. The hotels will be destinations unto themselves, offering incredibly immersive experiences through the perfect blending of unique stylish designs and historic and cultural features – bringing entirely new hospitality experiences to life for guests at Universal Beijing Resort.

It is those guest experiences that Key International Hotels Management Co., Ltd. (“Key International”) - a joint venture between Beijing Tourism Group and Kempinski Hotels– will help deliver. Key International will operate both hotels. Guests of both hotels will have an exclusive access entrance to the theme park.

As the first- ever Universal-themed hotel, The Universal Studios Grand Hotel, resplendent in classic, dazzling glory, will offer a contemporary interpretation of the Hollywood Golden Age. Designed in classic Spanish style, the hotel’s 800 rooms will be positioned at the entrance to the Universal Studios Beijing theme park and serve as a beacon of relaxation and escape for guests.

The entire project is designed to cover an area of 4 square kilometers in the Tongzhou Cultural Tourism Zone, located northwest of the intersection of the Beijing-Harbin Expressway and the East Sixth Ring Road.

According to Hu Jiulong, deputy head of the sub-centre management committee, the main structure of the theme park has been completed. The installation of rides and performance facilities should be completed by the end of 2020.

All construction of the Universal CityWalk complex has also been completed. Work is now starting on the decorative aspects of the complex, such as gardens.

A 2.8 km long river will pass through Universal Beijing Resort, and allow visitors to enter the theme park by boat.

The hotels on the resort site will have landing docks that will allow guests to take a boat to the park entrance.

The construction of the river will be finished in November.

At present, the construction of 20 utility tunnels and 54 municipal roads is underway, said Wang Dongsheng, vice-director of the Tongzhou District Cultural Tourism Zone Management Committee.

Universal Studios Beijing will start to run trial operation next spring and will officially open to the public in May 2021.  

Universal Studios Beijing theme park will have seven themed areas : Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness, Transformers, Metrobase, Minion Land, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Jurassic World Isla Nublar, Hollywood and WaterWorld.

The authorities estimate that the theme park will received 12 to 15 million visitors per year (Shanghai Disney Resort : 11 million visitors per year).

The resort will be constructed in three phases, of which the third phase plans to build a water park.

Le chantier avance très vite et le parc compte tout de même pas mal d’attraction :

A quelques mois de son inauguration, Universal Beijing Resort se dévoile en vidéo :

Une belle panoplie de rides, mais par contre, qu'est-ce que les deux hôtels sont architecturalement laids.
Celui qui est à l'entrée du parc a presque une architecture stalinienne...

Le design des hôtels n'ont jamais été le point fort des Resort Universal.

Ceux de Disneyland Shanghaï sont bien dégueu aussi (quoique l'inspiration art nouveau du DLH local sauve un peu le truc). Ptêt que c'est propre à la Chine ?

Il y a quand même un truc qui sera moche dans ce parc aussi, ce sont les intrusions du monde extérieur, notamment depuis les gradins du show Waterworld

Je trouve que la gamme de couleur reste assez similaire pourtant

Tu as tout à fait raison pour l'intrusion. On y perd beaucoup.

Il y a un show Waterworld ?

Je ne pensais pas qu'ils miseraient encore sur cette licence!

L'application officielle a incorporé le plan du resort :

Une visite chez Animax, avec ce qui je pense pourrait être un animatronic du dark-ride Jurassic World :



Sur LinkedIn il y a une vidéo, malheureusement on ne peut pas récupérer le lien.



L'animatronic est sur un rail, donc il va se déplacer et il va même dégommer un lampadaire au passage (qui va légèrement s'incliner) :

Bon, c'est pas encore pour cette fois que le problème de l'intrusion du showbuilding d'Harry Potter sera résolu
A croire qu'ils le font exprès...

Spoiler:

C'est vraiment le genre de truc aberrant. Tu crées un truc ultra immersif et tu fous un entrepôt pour supermarché derrière.

autre photo : ça casse vraiment tout l'effet de perspective du château. c'est encore pire qu'aux États-Unis (où à cet endroit, on a la serre extérieure qui cache le show building)
vraiment étonnant de se louper à ce point là-dessus

Mr.Freddy a écrit:

Quel gâchis ces show building. Pourtant, un arrière plan en trompe l'œil d'une forêt sur des collines et d'un ciel grisâtre sur la partie supérieure du bâtiment limiterait la casse.

Et pour la seconde photo, ils peuvent donner illusion que le show building, est un mur de soutènement qui supporte un jardin extérieur un peu comme sur le Mont St-Michel par endroit.

Un concept art prometteur de l'attraction Jurassic World

Un genre d'attraction EMV comme Indiana Jones Adventure ou de Dinosaur mais dans l'univers Jurassic World ? Ca fait drôlement envie.

Après, j'avais moyennement aimé l'idée des raptors domestiqués de Jurassic World mais tant pis, ça reste prometteur

Ce sont les mêmes véhicules que Transformers/Spider-Man.
