CityWalk is set to open in 2021, together with Universal Studios Beijing, the Universal Studios Grand Hotel and the NUO Resort Hotel, forming Universal Beijing Resort. It is located at the main entrance of Universal Studios Beijing and connects the theme park, parking facilities and subway entrances, allowing guests easy access to the fun excitement without even having to enter the theme park. CityWalk will also feature several new concepts making their first-ever debut, further enriching a unique experience that can be found nowhere else.
“As the starting point of every guest’s UBR journey, CityWalk provides guests their first glimpse of the beyond-imagination experience they can expect at Universal Beijing Resort,” said Tom Mehrmann, President and General Manager of Universal Beijing Resort. “However, CityWalk is also designed to stand as a destination in its own right, as a new high-quality recreation and entertainment option for residents and tourists in Beijing. We believe CityWalk will drive the formation of a new cultural business center, giving a strong boost to Beijing’s economic development.”
