Located in Fengxian District, the futuristic structure resembles a floating spaceship and features six themed zones with more than 30 experiential exhibits. Among its most eye-catching installations are a 13-meter-long suspended model of the "Natural Selection" space battleship composed of over 6,000 mechanical parts, and a massive device that sends "cosmic signals" to the universe.

Although still under interior construction, the sci-fi center was lit up earlier this month, with 500 drones creating stunning visuals from the sci-fi saga – such as the countdown sequences, Sophons, and Droplets – bringing the fantastical world of sci-fi to life.
