The Animal Kingdom project, the third phase of Poseidon Tourism Resort in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, has completed the main structures of its three functional zones, with construction progressing steadily. Under the construction schedule, all major buildings are expected to be topped out in October 2026. Work will then move immediately to detailed interior fit-out and the installation of amusement facilities and specialised animal care equipment. Following revisions and an expansion of the planned site, the project’s original gross floor area of 100,000 sq.m has been revised to a site area of 150,000 sq.m and a gross floor area of 40,000 sq.m.

The project’s standout feature is an innovative touring system combining vehicle, boat and walking routes. Visitors can ride sightseeing vehicles through the grassland exhibits for close-up views of land animals, or board dedicated tour boats to observe aquatic and rainforest animals without lengthy walks. Planned amenities include animal-themed dining, nature education classrooms, sightseeing vehicle stations, boat docks and family play areas. Once completed, the project will expand Harbin’s tourism offerings and strengthen the resort’s land-based attractions, creating a one-stop destination for family recreation and educational experiences while supporting regional tourism development.
