Dream Jellyfish Palace

Qingdao Aquarium is the first aquarium in China. On the occasion of her 75th anniversary, Qingdao Aquarium and Qingdao Underwater World Scenic Area transformed it into the first professional jellyfish exhibition hall in mainland China-Dream Jellyfish Palace.

The Fantasy Jellyfish Palace displays dozens of species and thousands of jellyfish, most of which are imported from abroad, and some are cultivated and bred by the underwater world itself. The main varieties on display include moon jellyfish, ribbon jellyfish, inverted jellyfish, hair jellyfish, flower jellyfish, colorful jellyfish, jellyfish, etc. They float in the water, like flowers blooming in a garden, dazzling and gorgeous; they are also like parachutes floating in the air, graceful and graceful. These crystal clear creatures will use their silky wristbands to lead you into the blue dream world.

You can not only explore the wonderful life history of the sea elves, but also join interactive games. Playing with jellyfish feels like being in an underwater wonderland.

Marine Life Museum

The Marine Life Museum of Qingdao Underwater World is the most popular venue for students and children. The animal specimens on display here include polar bears, sperm whales, narwhals, dragon teeth, etc.

Polar bears are the largest carnivores on land and are left-handed. They look simple and honest from a distance, but are actually extremely ferocious. In the Underwater World Marine Life Museum, you can see the most realistic polar bear specimens. You will find that the polar bear is completely white, and its fur is actually transparent.

The sperm whale in the marine life museum can be the biggest "Internet celebrity" because of its huge body. The sperm whale, also known as the pilot whale, is the largest toothed whale in the world and is known as the "diving champion" of the animal kingdom.

The narwhal is a strange whale that lives in the Arctic and feeds on cod and Greenland halibut. Its whole body is covered with mottled black spots, with white areas on its belly and sides. It is named after the long horns on the male narwhal's head.

Freshwater Museum

The Freshwater Biological Museum of Qingdao Aquarium is connected to the underwater world. The museum simulates the ecological environment of a tropical rainforest. When you walk into the exhibition hall, you will immediately feel the magnificence and mystery of the tropical jungle. Various rare freshwater creatures and fine tropical fish are on display in the museum. There are huge and majestic arapaima; there are bright and precious colorful angel fish and red dragon; there are Chinese sturgeon, alligator and giant salamander that are listed as national first and second level protected animals. More than 40 varieties are on display. The exhibition hall is equipped with accurate and vivid explanatory boards and popular science display boards to allow people to learn about freshwater organisms and ecological knowledge.

The new freshwater biology museum has added sculptural landscaping themed with Inca and Mayan cultural elements in and around the central hall. These cultural landscapes enhance the storytelling, interest and mystery of the tour, and provide a good reference for subsequent visits. The display landscape forms a natural backdrop. The passage formed by the humanistic sculpture landscape circles around the visiting hall, which not only expands the visiting space and increases the safety of tourists, but also gives tourists a sense of winding paths and sudden enlightenment, achieving a dual transformation effect.

Seal House

The upgraded Seal House is newly opened. Seals, sea lions, penguins and turtles live in this 1,200-square-meter mansion.

Entering the Seal Pavilion, the sea-blue venue takes everyone into a strange and interesting kingdom of sea animals. The pavilion's pet spotted seals lead a team to welcome, penguins lined up to welcome, and sea lions performed dances.

Undersea Tunnel

The best way to have close contact with marine animals is to walk in the undersea tunnel. There are tens of thousands of marine creatures in it. Look up and see various fish. Soar to the bottom. Through the acrylic glass of the underwater tunnel, we can see various sharks: nurse sharks, leopard sharks, black tip sharks, white tip sharks, etc.

The tunnel is 82.4 meters long and is made of imported high-tech material acrylic glass. The biggest advantages of this material are its good light transmittance and strong pressure resistance, so it is widely used in the aquarium industry. Qingdao Underwater World is the first in China to adopt a tunnel structure that combines 180-degree conventional windows, 254-degree large windows, 360-degree cylindrical windows, and flat windows.

The tunnel floor consists of two parts: an escalator and a sidewalk. Visitors can freely choose to walk or stop, enjoy the beauty of the deep ocean and experience the dream of the blue ocean. The large body of water where the undersea tunnel is located contains more than 3,000 tons of seawater and supports tens of thousands of live marine creatures from all over the world, including many rare species.
