Los Angeles, US-based Ikonic Entertainment Group has secured a deal with investment company Taichi Lake Group to design and develop a Tai Chi and Kung Fu-themed visitor attraction complex in Hubei, China.

Ikonic will provide master planning, concept creation, schematic design and construction oversight services for the US$3.1bn (2.4bn euro, £2bn) project, which is touted as the largest theme park ever to open in China.

The attraction, due to open in 2015, will include a Taichi Kung Fu theme park and a large theatre for live shows.

It is estimated that the agreement reached between Ikonic and Taichi Lake Group will generate several hundred jobs - as well as revenues - for numerous Los Angeles-based subcontractors and service providers over the next three years,

Tony Christopher, Ikonic Co-Founder and CEO "This project is an example of the very best of LA's creative industry capabilities being exported overseas on a large scale,"

The agreement will feature Ikonic as the master designer and project manager for series of projects commissioned by Taichi Lake Group. These include a Kung Fu-oriented theme park at Wudang Mountain, Hubei Province; an amusement park in Qingzhou, Shandong Province; a live show combining Daoist and Taichi Kung Fu culture with Western entertainment concepts; and a documentary on Daoism and Taichi Kung Fu.
