Qujiang Polar Ocean Park of Xi’an

Qujiang Polar Ocean Park Pictures Covering an area of 70 mu (11.5 acres), Qujiang Polar Ocean Park of Xi’an mainly consists of Aquarium, Polar Museum, and Golden Coast Business Street areas. It is one of China’s largest ocean theme parks, with multiple functions including polar ocean experience, leisure and entertainment, and science education, etc.

Aquarium

Aquarium is the central part of the Ocean Park. Its total construction area is 18,600 square meters (4.6 acres). The major sightseeing zones are Ocean Science Hall, Tropical Rainforests Hall, Underwater Tunnel, and Performance Hall, etc. The activities here include performances from “mermaids” (played by human beings), dolphins, sea lions, and sharks, etc.

Occupying an area of over 400 square meters (15.8 square yards), Ocean Science Hall is the largest among all of China’s ocean science halls within ocean parks. Moreover, it exhibits a sample of Bryde's Whale. Measuring 13.5 meters (about 44.2 feet) long, it is the longest of all China’s Bryde's Whale samples exhibited in ocean parks. By visiting the aquarium, visitors can learn ocean knowledge from professional guides, and observe the growth and developmental events of sea creatures. Children are even allowed to make samples by themselves.

Upon entering the Tropical Rain Forest Hall, visitors will feel like they are in a real rain forest. Based on the growing habits and dwelling environments of tropical plants and creatures, experts have created this rain forest by using not only plants and creatures, but also the sounds and lighting from woods, streams, crawling snakes, rains, dews, lightning, and displaying rain forests backgrounds, etc. It is divided into five thematic zones: Ancient Discovery, Rain Forest Wonder, Human Beings and Nature, Exotic Flavor, and A Walk in the Future. The various creatures here and their living habits and behaviors will give visitors good experiences of rain forest life.
