3. Galaxy Star Sea: Watch polar bear ice performances and interact by feeding otters and sea lions.

Transportation and Tickets

- Tickets: Four-venue combo ticket costs 240 RMB; student and senior discount tickets are 120 RMB; combo ticket with feeding package saves 40 RMB.

Tips

- Avoid Crowds: Weekday mornings are less crowded; weekends from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM are peak times. Check showtimes on the official website or on-site screens.
- Dress: Large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors; wear a windproof jacket and non-slip shoes. Indoor humidity is high, so avoid light-colored clothes.
- Photography: The beluga glass wall and underwater tunnel corners are great spots for photos. Shooting from below and burst mode shots work best.
