Dingdian Park, located in the cultural tourism area of the Beijing Municipal Administrative Center (BMC), is set to complete construction and open to the public later this year. It will become Asia's largest indoor theme park for children with an anticipated annual footfall of over 2 million.

The park is situated between Wansheng Xi (W) and Wansheng Dong (E) subway stations on Line 7. Its main passageway, the northern atrium, is topped with a giant ceiling screen, and will be developed into Asia's largest indoor promenade with immersive lighting effects. The park will host a lineup of leading global entertainment brands, including Hasbro, WildBrain, Crayola, and Mattel, to create an immersive world. Highlights include the world's first Peppa Pig-themed indoor ice-and-snow park, which boasts a range of attractions such as the Tree House and Snow Castles recreated from the original series, along with various types of slides.

Adjacent to the hub are a 379-room three-star hotel and a 538-room four-star hotel, adding more high-quality accommodation options to the area.
