One of Asia's largest and most technically advanced polar aquariums — beluga whales, polar bears, and an underwater tunnel with sharks and rays gliding overhead. A genuinely world-class wildlife encounter steps from Xinghai Square.
What to expect
Enter the vast polar hall to find beluga whales hovering at eye level behind floor-to-ceiling glass — serene, curious, and luminously beautiful. Walk the 120-metre underwater acrylic tunnel as sand tigers and leopard sharks pass centimetres overhead. The polar bear habitat and penguin colony are meticulously designed with welfare and immersion in mind. Combine with a stroll across adjacent Xinghai Square for sweeping sea views.
