The Group has successfully launched two world-class cultural tourism resorts: Chimelong Resort in Guangzhou and Chimelong International Ocean Resort in Hengqin, Zhuhai. These resorts have not only captivated millions with their entertainment offerings and luxurious accommodations but have also positioned Chimelong as a beloved cultural tourism brand globally.

The Group's success is built on a foundation of continuous innovation, research, development, and an unwavering commitment to providing visitors with unique and memorable experiences. With nearly 40 million annual visitors, Chimelong's resorts have become must-visit destinations, offering everything from thrilling theme parks to spectacular performances and luxurious hotels.

Mr. SU's vision extends beyond providing entertainment; it encompasses a deep commitment to promoting cultural exchange and understanding through tourism. Chimelong's resorts are a testament to this vision, offering a blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion that appeals to a global audience.

The recognition of Mr. SU Zhi Gang by TEA not only celebrates his personal achievements but also underscores the significant contributions of Chimelong Group to the global themed entertainment industry.
