Hengqin’s Novotown to open this December

Hong Kong-based Lai Sun Group announced yesterday that Novotown, an integrated tourism and entertainment hub located at the heart of Hengqin, will officially open on December 6.
Novotown features a mix of entertainment attractions combining state-of-the-art technology and innovative concepts. Two key attractions, Lionsgate Entertainment World and National Geographic Ultimate Explorer opened in July and September respectively, and have already garnered acclaim and market enthusiasm, according to a press statement issued yesterday.
Other establishments, including the Hyatt Regency Hengqin will open their doors in December when the location officially launches.
The Hyatt Regency Hengqin, which is developed in collaboration with Hyatt, promises to deliver a total of 493 guestrooms and suites, six dining outlets – which include restaurants that serve authentic Cantonese and Italian fare – and a rooftop bar. Other facilities include a spa, fitness center, outdoor and indoor swimming pools.
Novotown is already home to other well-known brands, including the popular noodle shop from Taiwan, Kiki Restaurant, which is making its entry in the Guangdong province, local dessert brands Xiao Man and Considerate Pear. An array of international brands are also set to join, such as the legendary Japanese sports fashion establishment Onitsuka Tiger, which will debut in Zhuhai for the very first time.
“Since we began this project in 2011, we recognized the great potential that Hengqin offered,” said Larry Leung, managing director of Novotown, according to the press statement. “We look forward to offering more diverse leisure and entertainment experiences for our guests by integrating top notch technology, and further contributing to the development of Hengqin International Leisure and Tourism Island.” DB
