Editor's Note: CGTN launches a new series called BizFocus, where anchors and reporters explore the most vibrant business sectors and events in China. Through in-depth interviews with industry experts and on-the-ground coverage, we bring you the latest developments and trends in various business sectors.

CGTN goes inside Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Hengqin, Guangdong Province—a standout attraction in China's Greater Bay Area that outpaced global heavyweights like Universal Studios Hollywood and Tokyo Disney, drawing 12.5 million visitors last year. We uncover how this ocean-themed destination turned a 20-billion-yuan initial investment into a 50-billion-yuan business empire—and how it has mastered the art of "happy repurchase" to keep visitors coming back for more.
