Viral Video: Riding an Escalator into the Water Makes THIS Aquarium a Hot Topic

① Shanghai Aquarium Escalator Sparks Interest

Shanghai, a city that has grown into a hub for science, technology, information, and finance in China, has a rich history dating back to the Song Dynasty when it was first referred to as Shanghai.

If you want to experience the science and technology of Shanghai indirectly, you can’t miss out on its aquariums. There are a total of three aquariums in Shanghai.

One of the many aquariums in Shanghai has recently gained attention due to a unique video. The place in question is the ‘Shanghai Ocean Aquarium.’

The video that sparked interest shows people entering the aquarium via an escalator, with fish swimming beside them.

② Underwater Worlds from Across the Globe

The aquarium, designed by Advanced Aquarium Technologies, features a 551-foot-long ‘underwater viewing tunnel,’ the longest in the world. As you walk through it, a vibrant underwater world filled with various marine life unfolds before you.

This aquarium features not only an underwater tunnel but also various exhibition spaces. It is comprised of a main building and an annex that showcase the underwater worlds from around the globe.

Each zone accurately recreates the natural habitats of aquatic creatures. What’s unique is the ability to experience different underwater worlds from various parts of the world.

The exhibition spaces house over 300 species and more than 12,000 rare fish. This makes it the most diverse aquarium in Shanghai regarding marine life.

③ Best Times to Visit

At the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, you can see a variety of marine animals and beautifully decorated underwater environments. This makes it enjoyable for both curious children and adults alike.

If you are visiting with children, aligning your visit with the fish feeding times is recommended. This is because the aquarium’s divers feed different species at different times.

In particular, it is recommended to visit during the penguin feeding times. Penguins are fed twice a day, and it can be difficult to observe them after they have eaten.

By checking the feeding times posted on the aquarium’s website and planning your visit accordingly, you can create a more memorable experience for your children.

The Shanghai Ocean Aquarium is known for its diverse marine life but is also popular due to its accessibility.

It is located in the Pudong Lujiazui Financial District of Shanghai, right next to the Oriental Pearl Tower. As a result, it is often crowded during holidays and school breaks.

Times with fewer visitors include lunchtime, weekday mornings and afternoons, and times close to closing. If you plan to visit, it is recommended to coordinate your visit with the fish feeding times for an enjoyable experience.
