• Transportation Guide:
• Travel Route: It is recommended to travel in a top-down order and not take a U-turn throughout the journey. The entrance is on the third floor, and upon entering, there is a special exhibition area. Currently, there are exhibitions of rare aquatic organisms in the Yangtze River Basin and martial arts competitions. Next is the China exhibition area, showcasing most of the nationally protected animals such as Chinese sturgeon, rouge fish, Yangtze alligator, and baby fish. Next is the South American region, which has the largest variety and quantity of freshwater fish in the world, such as the giant bony tongue fish and electric eel. Although there are not many species of water fish in the Australian region, most of them are rare and endemic fish. On the second floor, there are marine creatures from all over the world, such as freshwater sawfish, African cichlids, spotted seals, penguins, sea dragons, Indian silk, jellyfish, and especially spotted seals. Watching them swim is really healing. Suggest taking photos in the jellyfish area, such as the sea nettle jellyfish tank and the sea moon jellyfish wall, where the light and shadow are lively, dreamy and ethereal, and the atmosphere is full. The deep-sea exhibition area in the basement is the most popular area, and the most attractive one is undoubtedly the 155 meter long underwater panoramic tunnel
