Maiden Voyage Ceremony of the “Dinglong Bay” Branded Tourism Train of the Shen-Zhan High-Speed Rail
The event was guided by the Wuchuan City Tourism Bureau and hosted by the Zhanjiang-Wuchuan Dinglong Bay Eco-Marine Resort. Leadership guests including Huang Jianhui, Vice President of Dinglong Industrial Group, and Luo Anming, General Manager of the Country Garden Dinglong Bay Project, attended the ceremony and delivered speeches.

“Wuchuan is located between the prefecture-level cities of Zhanjiang and Maoming, situated by the river and the sea. It is a safe, livable city by the South China Sea, rich in river and maritime cultural characteristics. As a key project in Wuchuan’s coastal tourism industry cluster, Dinglong Bay has taken initial shape and become a new landmark of tourism in western Guangdong. On the occasion of the official opening of the Shen-Zhan High-Speed Rail and the maiden voyage of the ‘Dinglong Bay’ branded tourism train, on behalf of the Wuchuan City Tourism Bureau, I sincerely invite friends from all over the country to visit Wuchuan, enjoy its cuisine, admire the scenery of this coastal city, and experience its local culture!”

Verdant Dinglong Bay, Enjoying the Blue Sea and Sky
After a 2-hour and 47-minute journey, the “Dinglong Bay” branded tourism train arrived punctually at Wuchuan Station at 9:57 a.m. At the on-site launch event in Dinglong Bay, a promotional video gave us a deeper understanding of the overall planning of Dinglong Bay.
The Dinglong Bay Eco-Marine Resort is located at the southernmost tip of mainland China on the Leizhou Peninsula in Wuchuan, Zhanjiang, covering an area of 25,000 acres with 16 kilometers of golden coastline. Invested in by Guangdong Dinglong Industrial Group with 50 billion yuan, it is a global tourism resort complex integrating travel, vacation, entertainment, leisure, culture, education, shopping, gourmet food, and health wellness. It not only promotes Wuchuan’s upgrade toward an international resort destination but also offers tourists from around the world an unprecedented marine vacation experience.
Meanwhile, Dinglong Bay is committed to creating a cultural experience journey that allows for deeper interaction and dialogue between Gao-Lei culture and global tourism culture, integrating Gao-Lei culture thoroughly into the scenic area to form a highly distinctive local culture.
International cutting-edge marine tourism culture and a series of festival-themed cultures allow visitors to fully enjoy the impact of unique cultural and tourism experiences.
At the launch event, Huang Jianhui, Vice President of Dinglong Industrial Group, delivered a speech regarding this press conference.
In response to a media question: “What specific effects has the development of Dinglong Bay in Wuchuan had on boosting the local economy, tourism industry, and social development?”
Mr. Huang Jianhui responded: “The development of Dinglong Bay in Wuchuan is inseparable from and mutually reinforcing with the development of Wuchuan itself. Under the call and leadership of the Wuchuan Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, we have actively responded to their call to ‘vigorously develop coastal tourism and revitalize rural areas.’ In the development process of Dinglong Bay, we take it as our mission to create a flagship tourism project for Wuchuan, maintain Wuchuan’s tourism image, and showcase more tourism elements of Wuchuan to the outside world beyond just coastal vacations—thereby attracting more people to visit Dinglong Bay and Wuchuan, and driving the overall development of Wuchuan’s tourism industry.”

After the meeting, accompanied by Dinglong Bay staff, the journalists took a sightseeing tram to visit local attractions such as Tianlu Community, Shigou Square, the Seaside Plank Walk, and the Seaside Library. They also enjoyed foreign-style performances at the Beach Style Street, savored authentic and delicious local Wuchuan cuisine in the evening, and immersed themselves in the night view of Dinglong Bay accompanied by fireworks and beer festivities.
Dinglong Bay Water Park: Millions in Gifts and Free Tickets – Free Access to “Surf a Summer”
The biggest highlight of this launch ceremony was: from July 1 to July 31, passengers traveling along the Shen-Zhan High-Speed Rail can present their high-speed rail ticket + ID card + online reservation number for Texas Water World (first 2,000 per day) to receive one free ticket to Texas Water World. Simply follow the WeChat public account: Dinglong Bay Texas Water World (ID: dinglongwaterworld) to make an online reservation. This policy undoubtedly encourages more tourists to take the high-speed rail and gives a boost to Zhanjiang’s tourism industry, further expanding the tourism market of Wuchuan City.
Dinglong Bay’s Reality Show “Falling in Love with Mermaids” Officially Begins Filming
The first youth motivational reality show in China themed around mermaids — “Falling in Love with Mermaids” — began its first round of filming at the Dinglong Bay Eco-Marine Resort in Wuchuan City, Guangdong, and is scheduled to air every Saturday at 21:40 starting July 21 on the Pearl River Channel. With mermaids as the theme and incorporating colorful elements such as coastal tourism and underwater sports, the show uses a reality TV format to create a new sports brand and build a world-class coastal resort kingdom.
New Ecology, New Future
The high-speed rail is not only a convenient transportation channel but also a “wealth line.” The opening of the high-speed rail will bring a large flow of people, goods, capital, and more to Zhanjiang and surrounding areas, gradually giving rise to a new high-speed rail economy.
Zhanjiang is accelerating its efforts to build a central city in the Beibu Gulf and a sub-provincial center city, aiming to become a new growth pole for Guangdong’s economic development. If Zhanjiang seizes the opportunity of the high-speed rail opening to introduce proactive talent attraction policies and build a sound development platform for talent, while also leveraging its premium ecological environment, it is believed that Zhanjiang will be even more attractive than the Pearl River Delta.
