About Chengdu
Chengdu is one of the largest cities in China and recently it has been developing and expanding its businesses due to investments in projects developed by HongKong Dragon Group Limited, such as the 6 billion Yuan invested in the Seaside City located in the JiaoLong Port. The complex that includes shopping centers, ice rinks, office buildings, and a five-star hotel also includes an outstanding Cube Oceanarium.
Officially opened on New Year’s Eve, 2014 and Located at B Zone of shopping mall, the world class aquarium project gathers different experts teams around the world including the Australians leading architectural design company Crossley Architects PTY Ltd and Advanced Aquarium Technologies Limited engaged in international aquarium projects; the world-known acrylic panel manufacturer Nippura Co. Ltd.; and Orphek, responsible for the LED Lighting systems.
Lighting project developed and supplied by Orphek
Orphek was chosen as sole supplier of LED lighting solutions to Chengdu Cube Oceanarium due to its long settled worldwide reputation and because the construction of this project demanded the most advanced technologies available in the market, due to its challenges and its ambitions to reflect China’s greatness.

The developers of these exquisite tanks recognized our long lasting commitment to excellence, efficiency, technological development and design.

The company has been contracted to support the operations management of the aquarium providing training and on-site support for the first 12 months of operation.

Visitors coming to the Oceanarium will experience a unique architectural wonder: The largest acrylic viewing area in the world with over ten thousands of marine organisms from all corners of the Earth!
The 8,500,000 liters main exhibit tank has a 40m (long) x 8.3m (high) viewing panel certified at the time by the Guinness Book of World Records as:
- The world’s largest acrylic window
- The world’s largest aquarium window
It overpasses the Singapore S.E.A Oceanarium, a world-record holder of a 36m indoor aquarium.
Not only the Cube Oceanarium has been claimed as one of the world’s most breathtaking aquarium journeys, but also offers tours for visitors to explore warm and cold waters exhibits, from the Pacific to deep-sea trenches; across the tropical seas to the Amazon; to the Northern Arctic and back again.
