Speaking of the Underwater World of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, it has been 9 years since the last time I visited it.

After nine years, the changes here have not been too big and it is still a paradise for children. Think about it carefully, this place does carry a lot of my childhood and youth.

The underwater world from home to the top of the mountain is only six or seven kilometers away. In the past, I liked to visit this place most for school spring and autumn vacations, so this time, I can be regarded as visiting the old place again.

[Theme Ocean Theater-Dolphinarium]

The Dolphinarium covers an area of 1500 square meters and has nearly a thousand audience seats. You can watch wonderful dolphin and sea lion performances here.

Arrived at the Aquarium at 10:10 a.m., just in time for the morning performance of the dolphin show.

The first one to appear was our lovely sea lion. Under the command of the trainer, it was very obedient and would keep waving its fins and asking everyone to applaud it.

The little ones will come to the pool to say hello to everyone. The sea lion performance is wonderful and interactive, especially the ring game, which attracts applause and laughter from the audience.

The performance continues. The second one to appear is a pair of baby dolphins and two breeders. The baby dolphins will first greet everyone by jumping out of the water. The graceful dolphins can jump out of the water more than 3M high. It is very exciting.

Dolphins are good at turning "hula hoops" in the water. Dolphins in the water can show off their beautiful figure. In fact, every time I visit the underwater world, my favorite thing must be the Dolphinarium. Just looking at these cute little guys is also very good.

A lucky spectator at the scene could interact closely with dolphins on stage and feel the taste of dolphin kissing.

I have also kissed a dolphin and felt its icy and cool body. The slippery touch of the whole body is very special.

The final curtain call brought the Dolphinarium's performance to an end.

After the end, everyone scattered in various corners of the aquarium to explore various mysteries on the seabed.

[Brand new departure-Shark Pavilion]

Speaking of Nanjing Underwater World, the most exciting thing recently is this brand-new Shark Pavilion that set sail. After a period of intense construction, the Shark Pavilion has officially opened to the public.

Nowadays, when you come to the underwater world, hunting for sharks will definitely give you endless fun.

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of our country, and it is a time when all the people are paying tribute. Therefore, in the newly opened Shark Pavilion, under the water, our divers unfurled the five-star red flag.

No matter where in the world, I will never regret being born Chinese.

Many people's impressions of sharks may still come from books and television. Many people are afraid of this fish and always feel that sharks risk eating people when diving.

So, what if you encounter a shark while diving? How big is the world's largest shark? Come to Nanjing Underwater World, the brand-new Shark Museum will take you to find out.

At present, the Shark Museum of Nanjing Underwater World will officially open to the public on October 1, 2019. It has been built for a long time, and the sharks have also been carefully raised in the backyard for more than a year and are newly displayed.

The water output here can reach 217 tons. Among them, the sharks on display all come from the South China Sea region of our country. There are more than 30 sharks of different shapes, with body lengths ranging from 70cm to 3m.

At present, in the Shark Museum, you can see the breeders 'shark feeding performance at specific times. The domesticated sharks do not have to worry about biting people. They are all very docile. Generally speaking, the feeding performance is relatively interactive and is a performance that children like very much.

In addition to feeding performances, you can also participate in the "Shark Class" of the guide. It is said that you can get officially provided shark stickers this National Day ~

When it comes to shark museums, what attracts the most is the attention of the children. A small person just lies in front of the aquarium glass, staring intently at the water, and constantly chasing after the sharks.

When I was a child, I also liked to go to the underwater world with school to see a different and wonderful world. But in a flash, he grew up.

[180-degree transparent undersea tunnel-romantic underwater world]

Nanjing Underwater World is located next to Meihua Mountain of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Xuanwu District, Nanjing City. It is a large-scale marine life display project that integrates science education, viewing and entertainment. It is jointly built by China and Singapore and introduces advanced Australia technology.

Starting from the first floor, you enter the blue world. What comes into your eyes are the blue water ripples and the light projected on the "bottom of the sea".

Shown here are sturgeon, which are mainly distributed in the northern hemisphere. Due to factors such as overfishing and pollution, most sturgeon fish are in an endangered or critically endangered state. The Russian sturgeon seen here is also one of the most valuable sturgeon fish.

Brachystomus tiger-striatus, a water plant, a dead tree, a few fish, this is the world they live here.

This fish, also known as zebra duck bill, is native to major rivers in the Americas. Due to different regions or changes, the markings on the fish body will change accordingly, making it very distinctive.

The African sword is composed of a long dorsal fin, which is wavy and has a power-generating organ at the tail. It mainly lives in the Nile River in Africa.

These fish have a special name, called angelfish, which is native to the Amazon River Basin and has become a representative species of tropical fish because of their beautiful, elegant and excellent shape. This fish is not gentle, so it rarely coexists peacefully with other fish, so they are the only ones in this exhibition pond.

There are many kinds of fish here, many of which are species we don't see or even hear of on weekdays. Generally speaking, they come from all over the world, with deep-sea fish more often.

So I have always said that travel is a way for us to understand life and a way for us to learn more about knowledge beyond textbooks.

In this different "world", we seem to have really walked into the bottom of the sea and encountered different beauty.

The name blood red parrots is quite appropriate. They look like goldfish, but they are artificially cultivated ornamental fish. Because of their chubby body shape and soft fins, they are very likable.

Under the dim light, a large number of fish gathered. The blood red color was very beautiful.

The world under the sea is rich and free. If we are watching these fish, then these fish are not watching us and watching us come and go, batch after batch.

Speaking of the underwater world, the most desirable thing must be the romantic underwater tunnel.

There is a tunnel made of 180-degree acrylic transparent glass. It is 74 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 2.4 meters high. It has a water storage capacity of more than 4000 tons, in which more than 100 species of marine fish live.

Everyone who walked by here couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Walking in the tunnel, light is projected on the face and body with the ripples of water, flashing and flashing.

Walking in such an undersea tunnel is like really walking into the deep sea, and there is a wonderful experience of walking on the bottom of the sea.

Such a wonderful and dreamy place has naturally become the most essence of the underwater world of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.

Here, there are giant turtles weighing more than 200 kilograms, sharks as long as 3 meters, and even rays with a diameter of more than 1 meter swimming leisurely above their heads when standing in the tunnel.

These "strange" marine creatures are beautiful, and naturally make tourists dizzying and lingering.

In a big world, fish are swimming in the water. I am very close to them and far away from them.

Sometimes I wonder why we like the aquarium so much? Probably because that world is beyond our reach. Even if we learn to dive, we still live in two worlds with them and cannot touch them.

[The most easily ignored polar world-Ice and Snow Polar Regions]

When talking about the ocean, many people's first impression is the ocean we have seen on weekdays. In fact, the concept of the ocean is very big, and the polar regions are an aspect that tourists easily ignore. Therefore, in the Underwater World of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, a special exhibition area for ice and snow polar regions has been created to give everyone popular knowledge about the polar regions and also bring everyone closer to the polar regions.

Speaking of polar scenery, most of everyone's first reaction is that they can see baby penguins.

It was true that in the underwater world, we saw baby penguins. Of course, the first thing we saw was the model of the penguins and a broken egg. Children could get in and take photos.

In order to simulate the living environment of penguins, it is also relatively cold in the exhibition hall ~

There are groups of penguins, with icebergs and icebreakers painted on the wall behind them. These baby penguins seem to be really in Antarctica. This ice and snow is just their home for fun.

Polar bears are the largest bear in the world, and they are also the largest carnivores on land. You know what? In fact, the skin of polar bears is black and their fur is yellow. The reason why white polar bears are seen on TV is actually caused by reflections from the snow. The polar bear we see here is 3M tall and walks innocently.

There are many models that can be taken together in the exhibition hall. The white environment allows us to better experience the polar scenery here, as if we were really in the polar environment.

Arctic wolves and Arctic foxes, maybe the time I came happened to be noon, so they all curled up together to rest.

Arctic wolves are one of the few mammals that can tolerate the desolate and severe cold of the polar regions. Unfortunately, they can survive in such harsh environments and become endangered even when they encounter humans.

Perhaps the protection of the polar regions is urgent.

[As romantic as you are, as dangerous as you are-Jellyfish Pavilion]

The world of jellyfish is an extremely romantic world. The jellyfish float up and down in the water, accompanied by the constant changes of the lights.

In the past, we always had to go to famous aquariums around the world to see jellyfish. Now, you can see dozens of different styles of jellyfish at Nanjing Underwater World. I am a little excited.

Jellyfish are spinous animals. They have no eyes or hearts and always go with the flow. They vary in size, and the crystal clear jellyfish turn colorful with the change of light.

The jellyfish seen here do not have a long "tail", but are like a mushroom, constantly floating and rotating.

These jellyfish drag long "pigtails", like highly skilled dancers, showing us a beautiful dance that stretches and tightens in the water. As the lights kept changing, the jellyfish kept changing colors, yellow, red, green, blue, etc.

These jellyfish are the cutest creatures in the ocean, but they are also seemingly romantic but actually very dangerous creatures.

There are many varieties of jellyfish, so many that we have no way to tell which species they are. In the ocean, these jellyfish may seem romantic and gentle. In fact, many species contain toxins, and if they are accidentally encountered, they will cause a series of symptoms such as paralysis.

But even so, there are still many people who travel thousands of miles away to take a look at it and see the "romance" in the blue deep sea.

I like the jellyfish under the red light best. The edges are crystal clear, the tentacles are constantly shrinking and expanding, and the body is constantly moving up or down.

The life of these jellyfish is not very tenacious, because more than 95% of their bodies is water, so they can quickly dissolve in water after death. Perhaps this is their most beautiful destination.

In front of the jellyfish, in front of the big glass, it is most suitable for taking silhouette pictures.

It's as if this world is the only thing left with me and this floating jellyfish.

Would you like it here?
