Location & Transportation

Aqua World Stage sits inside Happy Valley’s Hurricane Bay in Shenzhen, nestled in the lively OCT West Street of Nanshan District. To get there, take Metro Line 1 to OCT Station (Exit D) and walk about 10 minutes, or hop on the free shuttle bus from the station. If you’re driving, plug “Happy Valley, Nanshan” into your GPS—there’s plenty of parking. The area is also near popular spots like Splendid China and World Window, so you can combine visits!

Natural Scenery

The Aqua World Stage isn’t just a plain pool—it’s wrapped in lush tropical vibes! Palm trees, colorful flowers, and rocky waterfalls frame the area, making it feel like a mini-island. During hot days, mist machines spray cool water into the air, creating a refreshing “jungle” atmosphere. At night, lights dance across the water, turning the stage into a sparkling oasis.

Cultural Highlights

This isn’t just a swimming spot—it’s a showstopper! The stage hosts daily performances with dancers, music, and pyrotechnics that blast water into the sky. Think of it as a mix between a concert and a water park. On weekends, they even add themed events like “Pirate Night” or “Neon Carnival,” where the whole area lights up with glow-in-the-dark decor.

Facilities

You’ll find everything you need here:

  • Lockers to stash your stuff while playing.
  • Changing rooms with showers (bring a towel!).
  • Snack bars serving ice cream, smoothies, and grilled snacks.
  • Shaded lounge areas with comfy chairs to relax between shows.
    They even have free Wi-Fi so you can snap photos and post them instantly!

Visiting Experience

At Aqua World Stage, expect energy! During the day, kids splash in fountains while adults watch acrobatic shows. The highlight? The “Storm Show” at sunset, where dancers perform on floating platforms as water jets shoot 20 feet high. For adrenaline junkies, there’s a giant water slide next to the stage. Pro tip: Come early to snag a front-row seat for the evening performances—they fill up fast!
