The distinctive Qingdao
Underwater World offers a breath-taking view of a marine world.
Lying to the northeast of famous Luxun Park and to the west of
Number One Bathing Beach, it is situated on Huiquan Bay in Qingdao,
Shandong Province. By means of modern techniques and advantageous
geological location, it combines the advantage of the Qingdao
Aquarium, Qingdao Specimen Hall and Qingdao Freshwater Fish Center,
becoming a hot spot for marine ecotourism.
The underwater world consists of several interesting
underwater landscapes, including the inter-tidal zones, underwater
tunnel, performance hall and exhibition areas. The inter-tidal zones
are teeming with many special species, forming a particular
ecosystem. Various algae, echinoderms, marine mollusks, arthropods
and small amounts of fish are living here. Common marine life like
starfish, sea urchins, sea turtles, octopus, crabs and small sharks
can be seen; some bright-colored or odd-shaped varieties will bring
you a unique and spectacular view! The underwater tunnel breeds
thousands of kinds of halo bios which are from all over the world,
among them are some rare species. Sauntering in the tunnel, you can
see the sharks cruising leisurely in the water, shoals of fishes
pulling on the reefs, and still some species staying quietly in the
seabed.
Wonderful items, like the dances between human and
sharks, sea-maiden exhibitions and underwater ballets are performed
in the performance hall. If a new couple is willing to experience an
underwater wedding here, they will undoubtedly have an unforgettable
memory of this solemn and happy moment. In the large cylindrical
exhibition chamber, the colorful corals, various beautiful
seaflowers and gorgeous tropical pet fish will fully occupy your
eyes. In addition, there are exhibition areas for sea horses,
nautilus, lobsters, jellyfish and other marine life.
Qingdao Aquarium was the first aquarium of China. The

and was reputed as one of the ten most imposing buildings of Qingdao
City. Sea beasts like harbor seals, South American sea lions,
Humboldt penguins are also kept in the Qingdao Underwater World and
they will always present lively and artful performances to the

specimens in the world, displaying over 20,000 specimens of more
than 1,950 rare marine lives of China and the world. As the only
specimen hall featuring the marine life in China, it also keeps many
