Qingdao's highly anticipated Oriental Eden officially opened on June 28, inaugurating a water-centered scientific exploration journey. As the world's second Eden Project and Asia's first, the Oriental Eden employs water as its narrative brush to forge an innovative model of cultural-tourism integration and sustainable development, unveiling an immersive marine-based ecological experience for residents and visitors while injecting fresh momentum into the city's high-quality tourism industry.

Oriental Eden is situated on Huoju Road in Qingdao High-Tech Zone, where it unfolds around water as its central narrative. The park is organized into three distinct themed districts and features 4 major indoor pavilions, a water-play park, a non-powered adventure park, a night-lake multimedia show, dozens of interactive attractions and nearly 50 creative landscapes embodying the ecological themes of focusing on how water is the cradle of life, celebrating water's role in our recreation and well-being, tracing humanity's relationship with water through time, and how it should be treated with more respect in regards to sustainability. With a feature of more than 20 all-weather signature performances daily to seamlessly blend Eastern and Western elements, this offers local residents and tourists a new cultural-tourism experience where nature and technology converge.

Oriental Eden has also meticulously laid out three themed routes—each dedicated to science, entertainment, and art—to feature a clear itinerary and a rich array of attractions to comprehensively reveal the unique charm of Qingdao's new cultural-tourism landmark.

According to reports, to promote the popularization of water‐science education and raise public environmental awareness, Oriental Eden has been designated as the base to popularise and promote ecological environmental sciences by the Shandong Environmental Science Society, offering science outreach programmes and environmental‐education activities to the general public.
