The Shekou Ocean World is a waterfront mixed-use entertainment center built on a Cruise ship. The area combines dining, accommodation, entertainment and retail functions into one mixed-used commercial area. The design of the Plaza incorporates many foreign cultural elements. As a core of the urban complex, the Ocean world will be redeveloped and fully upgraded in the coming few years. The Ocean World Plaza is composed by the Ming Wah Cruise and three other zones. The centre plaza was already re-opened in 2011 with other zones to be developed and open to public in 2012-13.
