CHINA has opened the doors to its futuristic "spaceship city" - which has already broken seven world records just a day after its debut.
The soft launch of the Chimelong Spaceship Theme Park in Zhuhai, which promises visitors an out-of-this-world experience, is underway.



Hailed as the world's largest indoor theme park, it is set to welcome over 50,000 guests each day to enjoy the landmark attraction.
The sci-fi-inspired leisure destination is filled with 4,271,783 square feet of fun for wildlife fanatics and space-curious customers.
It is making its mark by knocking rivals off its top spot for its sheer size and expense, as it cost a whopping $1.1 billion.

The 650m long structure eerily resembles an "alien mothership" - which more than 100,000 underwater beasts now call home.
Spectators can get up close and personal with nearly 300 different species inside the flying saucer-like facility.
Visitors can peer into the world's largest living coral reef exhibit or its humongous aquarium for a glimpse of the exotic sea life.
Other record-busting features include the world’s largest marine science museum, orca exhibition pool, and shark display tank.
Zhuhai have broken their own records with their colossal fishbowl, which was originally set at the adjacent Chimelong Ocean Kingdom.
More than 16,574,889 gallons of water have been ploughed into a whopping 38 different tanks to house the rare aquatic creatures.
Several orcas will live in the park's 12.4million gallon main tank - which can generate waves of up to 10.5ft.
This makes it the world's largest indoor artificial wave pool thanks to its state-of-the-art machinery.
The orca attraction is located in Chimelong Spaceship's "Whale Universe", which is one of the 15 themed zones in the park.
But the groundbreaking facility also has plenty of fun on offer for those who prefer sticking to dry land.

Thrill seekers can explore the world's largest indoor theme park, which dwarfs Warner Brother's World in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Visitors can climb on a series of exciting rides in the park's "Universe Paradise" which boasts a collection of themed rollercoasters.
China has also unveiled their first real underwater submarine ride at the new attraction, called the Deep Sea Submarine.
After marvelling at the spaceship-inspired architecture, you can then take your day out to another level by having a go of the world's largest motion simulator attraction, Bermuda Storm.
Touted as the highlight of the Universe Paradise, up to 304 riders can be wowed by the experience projected on a huge 1,682sqm curved screen.
There is also a 5D cinema, educational environmental exhibitions and a variety of dining options to explore at the theme park.
To really immerse yourself in the space odyssey, visitors can also check into the 1,250-room Chimelong Spaceship Hotel.
The 26-floor tower boasts a range of restaurants, swimming pools, retail stores and conference rooms.
The Chimelong Spaceship Theme Park is currently in a trial phase and is for now only welcoming visitors from local regions.
The park, designed by masterminds at Legacy Entertainment, has not announced the official opening date yet.
It was originally scheduled to open in 2021, but construction on the alien mothership was only completed last year.
Despite a decade of planning and five years of construction, further work is still set to continue at the leisure facility.
The second phase of Chimelong Spaceship, boasting an animal kingdom theme park, mountain park and cable cars, is set to be completed by 2027.
