With “marine Culture” as the core, the Park has carefully built 5 theme zones: Mermaid Bay, Polar Town, Ice and Snow Kingdom, Underwater Wonderland and Ocean Tribe.

Every step is a scene, as if you are traveling through different marine fantasy scenes, allowing every tourist to immersive experience the diverse charm of the ocean.
The six animal exhibition pavilions are the core highlights of the park and the best window for foreign tourists to understand marine life, each hiding different surprises. In the Antarctic Penguin Pavilion, hundreds of emperor penguins and Adélie penguins live freely in the simulated Antarctic ice and snow environment.

With a volcano as the theme, the pavilion has a realistic shape, and is equipped with a 7-degree inclined whale shark tank and a 155-meter-long underwater tunnel, which is also the longest independent underwater tunnel in China. Walking into the underwater tunnel, it feels like you are really diving into the deep sea. Schools of sharks, manta rays and sea turtles swim slowly overhead, colorful tropical fish shuttle around you, and underwater plants such as corals and anemones are scattered. The immersive experience makes people feel as if they are in a real underwater world, and every random shot is a very atmospheric deep-sea blockbuster. In addition, there is a “Mermaid Fairy Tale” performance in the pavilion. Mermaid performers wear gorgeous costumes and dance gracefully in the water, coexisting harmoniously with various marine creatures, just like a real-life mermaid legend.
