Walrus is one of the best swimmers on earth.


Penguins spend around half their time in water and the other half on land.



Visitors can stand close to the penguins and take pictures.

Stingray looked like smiling. It has the sweetest smile. Just like dolphin, that's the way stingray's mouth is shaped.


Dolphin Fantasy is an aquarium with an arch-shaped pool. Dolphins, nemo and other fish swim freely in the tube as though flying in the air. The pool is lit up by sparkling lights, creating romantic ambience. 



Great place for selfies. Fish swam past all around me in the sunshine.
