Why are indoor amusement parks

essential items for resort complexes?

Taking super city cultural tourism resort complexes like Shanhai as an example, it innovatively incorporates indoor amusement park sections on the basis of traditional resort projects such as hot springs, catering, and performances. The layout of the indoor amusement park industry in the L2 layer not only brings new elements to the tourists' resort experience but also represents a comprehensive upgrade of the service experience.

▲Elephant Art Design Project Video

From the perspective of all-ages service planning, it is unaffected by inclement weather and seasonal changes, providing visitors with a stable recreational environment at any time. For groups such as the elderly, children, and pregnant women, or those sensitive to weather, the indoor park environment is more suitable. The temperature, humidity, and other conditions here can be artificially controlled, relatively mild, avoiding the impact of external adverse factors on the body, allowing these groups to easily enjoy the fun of recreation.

▲Elephant Art Design Project - Youyou Parent-Child Paradise

From the perspective of supporting facilities, the indoor park can be closely integrated with other facilities of the resort complex. After playing in the indoor park, visitors can conveniently enjoy other supporting services, greatly enhancing the continuity and convenience of the resort experience, making the entire vacation process smoother and more comfortable.

How should the park integrate into the resort complex?

Elephant Art joins hands with Meet the Mountains and Seas

Continuing the myth, creating happiness

Elephant Art and Meet the Mountains and Seas, hand in hand, use "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as the source of inspiration, vividly presenting the mysterious world of fantasy and splendor in the book into reality.

Elephant Art's design team uses the mythical auspicious beast Pixiu as a prototype to design a super cute IP image - Pixiao Pang, and integrates it into the space design.

▲Elephant Art Design IP   

Within a 4000㎡ area, four spaces have been created, using the design approach of "one space, one myth", echoing the brand, enhancing the theme of the space, continuing the myth, and conveying happiness.

Gift Reception Area

The design inspiration of the gift reception area comes from "Classic of Mountains and Seas - Great Wilderness Southern Classics", the beautiful image of an ideal country. "Wu Zai Min Pan surname, eat valley, not weaving not through, clothes also; not farming not harvesting, food also, where there are singing and dancing birds, Luan birds sing by themselves, Feng birds dance by themselves. Where there are hundreds of beasts, groups live together. Hundreds of valleys gather."

▲Elephant Art Design Project

The original meaning is: There is a Zai Min country, the people's surname is Pan, and they eat grains. Without weaving, they have clothes to wear; without farming, they have food to eat. There are birds that are good at singing and dancing, Luan birds sing freely, and Feng birds dance freely. Many wild beasts live here in groups. Various grains are also gathered here.

▲Elephant Art Design Project

In order to express this beautiful country, Elephant Art's designers used Luan bird totems, the sun, and other elements to create a "Luan Feng He Ming" environment, creating a friendly and welcoming spatial atmosphere.

Digital Sports Area

The digital sports area combines the myth of the thunder god. In "Classic of Mountains and Seas - East Classics of the Sea", it is recorded: "There is a thunder god in Lei Ze, with a dragon body and a human head, and when its belly drums, there is thunder." This is the early image of the thunder god, a half-human, half-beast form. People believe that thunder is in the sky, and dragons also soar in the sky. Combining the two, there will be thunder and rain.

▲Elephant Art Design Project

In terms of space design, elements such as auspicious clouds and lightning have been used to create a cool space.

▲Elephant Art Design Project

Amusement Arcade

The amusement arcade combines the Battle of Zhuolu in "Classic of Mountains and Seas": "Chi You made weapons to attack the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor ordered Yinglong to attack him in the wild of Jizhou. Yinglong raised water, and Chi You invited Feng Bo and Yu Shi, releasing heavy wind and rain. The Yellow Emperor then sent down a celestial woman named Ba, the rain stopped, and Chi You was killed. Ba could not return to heaven, and the place where she lived would no longer rain."

▲Elephant Art Design Project

The original meaning is: Chi You made weapons to attack the Yellow Emperor, so the Yellow Emperor ordered Yinglong to go to the field of Jizhou to fight. Yinglong accumulated a large amount of water, preparing to flood Chi You's army, while Chi You invited Feng Bo and Yu Shi, causing strong winds and heavy rain. The Yellow Emperor then sent down a celestial woman named Ba, who stopped the wind and rain, and finally killed Chi You. However, Ba could not return to heaven, and the place where she lived would never rain again.

In the space design, mythological labels, exotic beast patterns, and flowing light elements have been used to create a time and space where the modern and the ancient collide in an orderly stack.

▲Elephant Art Design Project

Children's Paradise

The children's paradise is inspired by "Classic of Mountains and Seas", incorporating the fantasy descriptions of Danxue Mountain, the Land of Little People, Penglai Fairy Island, and Fusang Tree. It uses elements such as mountains, smoke, phoenix wings, waves, Wenyao fish, and auspicious clouds to build a dreamlike and imaginative happy world for children.

▲Elephant Art Design Project

To give the children's paradise more vitality, the design team has also carefully created a series of amiable spirit beasts.

▲Elephant Art Design IP

Based on Danxue Mountain, which is rich in metal minerals and jade, a cave exploration game is designed, integrating the winding and mysterious treasures of the cave with Danxue Mountain, creating a unique play experience for children.

▲Elephant Art Design Project

Drawing on the fantasy concept of the Land of Little People, a career experience area is created. In the Land of Little People scene, children simulate various professions, not only gaining happiness but also expanding their knowledge, achieving a fusion of fun and education.

▲Elephant Art Design Project

Taking the fantasy concept of Penglai Fairy Island as the inspiration point, the main building of the naughty castle is like the scattered fairy palaces and pavilions on Penglai Fairy Island. Climbing frames and slides are integrated into it, as if they are the strange peaks and rocks and mysterious passages on the fairy island. Children shuttle through it, like little fairies soaring through the clouds and mist on the fairy island, exploring the wonders.

▲Elephant Art Design Project

Unafraid of weather changes, It can provide diversified entertainment services for people of all ages, and can also carry out planning and design based on the project theme. Indoor parks are gradually becoming the best choice for major emerging cultural and tourism attractions.
