Work on the East Valley of Science and Fantasy has been underway in southwest China in Guiyang, the capital city of Guizhou Province.

Its first phase, called ‘Alien Base,’ is scheduled to be ready in December.

Slaying dragons, going on UFO trips and communicating with aliens are just some of the VR activities planned for the park, the Daily Mail newspaper has reported.

The theme park site is part of a larger project being masterminded by the Shenzhen VR Industry Federation hosting 1/3 of all VR companies in China.

Astonishing images of the ground-breaking virtual reality theme park due to complete soon have recently been revealed.

One of the most impressive features is a gigantic Transformer statue which has been built with 750 tons of steel, the weight of two Boeing 747 planes.

The theme park attraction is part of a massive 1.3-sq km, 10-billion-yuan ($1.52 billion) project being developed by the Oriental Times Media Corp’s animation unit which is listed on the Shenzhen stock market.

However, the new venture will be devoted to virtual reality movie making, with a cutting-edge media research and development centre.

A spokesman for the park revealed that VR helmets and other gadgets will be handed out to visitors so they can interact with the environment. The VR site will give players a more lifelike feeling than playing video games.

Additionally, the park will feature China’s first VR roller coaster and 13 pavilions showcasing different UFOs, which can help children explore outer space in a digitally immersive way.
