🐬【Zuohai Park Underwater World】
📍Location: Nestled inside the scenic Zuohai Park, super convenient to reach—just hop on buses like No. 4, 8, or 10.
🎫Tickets: Check major travel apps for discounted combo deals—great value for money!
🕙Hours: 08:30 - 21:00 (last ticket sale at 17:00, last entry at 20:00), so don’t arrive too late.

🌳Step inside, and you’ll feel like you’ve embarked on a magical adventure. The Tropical Rainforest Pavilion features towering trees🌳, cascading waterfalls, and the sounds of birds and insects, with exotic fish and rare animals making it feel like you’ve teleported to the Amazon.

🐠Next, wander into the dreamy underwater tunnel. Stretching over 50 meters and built with advanced acrylic glass technology, it holds nearly 1,000 tons of water. Gaze up at the shimmering blue waters as fierce great white sharks, gentle leopard sharks, vibrant tropical fish, and even a century-old green sea turtle glide past—making you feel like a carefree little fish.

🤹‍♀️Don’t miss the thrilling shows! The shark dance is heart-stopping as divers interact seamlessly with sharks; the mermaid performance brings fairy tales to life with graceful moves; and the hilarious sea lion/seal show will have you laughing nonstop. Check showtimes at entry to plan your visit.

🦭The Marine Fish Gallery displays over 10,000 sea creatures across nearly 1,000 species—a feast for the eyes. The Dream Jellyfish Pavilion feels like another world, with moon jellies (symbols of love) and giant Pacific sea nettles (“golden swords”) glowing under mesmerizing lights. There’s also a Biological Specimen Hall for deeper marine insights.

🎡After exploring, ride the Ferris wheel for romantic skyline views or try the spinning chairs for an adrenaline rush. Perfect for dates, family trips, or friend hangouts!

🏨【Columbus Hotel Rec】

💁‍♀️Service: Super friendly front desk staff with sweet smiles—quick check-in! They even shared travel tips when they heard I was touring. Free luggage storage post-checkout is a lifesaver for shoppers/photo-takers.
