Romon U-park (Chinese: 罗蒙环球乐园) is a 200,000 ㎡ amusement park located in the south of Ningbo, China. By its size it can be considered as one of the largest urban indoor theme parks in the world. It is funded by the leading Chinese clothing manufacturer Romon Group.
Romon U-park consists of a 57.4m high indoor park and an outdoor park “Legend Island”. There are six differently themed zones in the park; Romantic Avenue, Fantasy Dream, Mystery Land, Adventure Challenge, Festival Plaza and The Island of Legends. In all there are over 30 attractions, 30 specialty restaurants and 20 specialty shops.
Etymology: Romon is a Chinese clothing manufacturer and the "U" in "Romon U-Park" is for "Universal". The total cost of the project was over 3 billion RMB.
This hotel is the brand’s first project in Ningbo and functions as a hotel for the Romon Fairyland theme park. Special attention was given to make both family and business travelers feel at home. The dramatic spiral staircase on the ground floor creates the graceful spine of the camphor tree inspired main entrance.
The most fascinating attraction of the park are multimedia shows. "The Source of Light" show is about the adventures of two Romon panda bears “Romon” and “Romie”. The bears discover a magic ball inside the Romon park Pyramid. This magic ball is the “Source of all Lights” and takes the pandas on a journey through strange worlds. The different worlds are experienced by the audience through the combination of the multimedia effects. “Zheng He is coming”, the second multimedia spectacle tells the tale of Zheng He, a Chinese admiral and diplomat of the 15-th century. Zheng He commanded massive expeditionary voyages to Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa from 1405 to 1433.
Zheng He commanded a large fleet of ships. His first voyage is estimated to have had over 300 total ships and nearly 28,000 men. Some of the ships were large treasure ships estimated to be over 400 feet long and 170 feet wide. That's longer than a football field! They had ships to carry treasure, ships to carry horses and troops, and even special ships to carry fresh water. Certainly the civilizations that Zheng He visited were amazed at the power and strength of the Chinese Empire when this fleet arrived.
