What does your dream wedding look like? Is it making a dazzling entrance in a traditional Chinese courtyard setting, or creating exclusive memories on a lawn bathed in warm sunshine? All of this will become a reality in the Ningbo Qianwan New Area.
Time Bay Wedding Themed Park is located southwest of the intersection of the Binhai 2nd Road and the Hangzhou Bay Avenue, with a Phase I construction area of 23,900 square meters. The main construction includes a wedding service center, supporting commercial facilities, a grand banquet hall, ceremony chapels, courtyard banquet halls, and so on. Stepping onto the construction site of Time Bay Wedding Themed Park, you are to find numerous tower cranes, hear the roar of machinery, and observe a busy yet orderly construction scene. According to the project leader, as of now, the overall visual progress of the Time Bay Wedding Themed Park project is more than halfway complete, with completion planned for February 2026.
It is learnt that upon completion, the project will become a one-stop wedding industry platform and a cultural tourism micro-vacation destination in Qianwan. The project will expand from serving marrying couples to attracting people of marriageable age, while also extending its reach downward to connect with families, forming a full-mode consumption loop. "From dating and engagement to taking wedding photos, holding wedding banquets, and hosting baby celebrations, the entire suite of wedding services can be completed here, allowing young people to easily accomplish these 'major life events' and genuinely experience the happiness of marriage," said the project leader.
"Immersiveness" is one of the features of the Time Bay Wedding Theme Park. Unlike traditional banquet-style weddings which focus more on catering to guests' dining experience, the ceremony chapels here place greater emphasis on the ceremonial aspect of the wedding itself, featuring both pure white, minimalist modern chapels and Chinese-style chapels with small bridges and flowing water, precisely aligning with the trendy pursuits of young people. The grand banquet hall incorporates elements such as arched colonnades, blending Moroccan style into its design, exuding an exotic flair and giving people a sense of the refinement and beauty akin to an art gallery.
In recent years, the Ningbo Qianwan New Area has deeply implemented the "No. 1 Reform Project" to optimize and enhance the talent ecosystem, vigorously building a dynamic bay area, a youthful bay area, and a happy bay area. It has widely gathered popularity among young talents, creating an optimal ecosystem for talent innovation and entrepreneurship through policies to attract talents, platforms to gather talents, and an environment to retain talent. To better promote talent settling down and thriving, and to advance the integrated development of industry, city, and people, the Ningbo Qianwan New Area has also launched the "Jiale Red Envelope" incentive. Young talents who work in Qianwan, purchase houses and reside in the new city sector, and also get married, have children, and settle their household registration in Qianwan will enjoy a one-time subsidy of 28,000 yuan.
