Qingdao Underwater World is located to the west of the First Sea Water Bathing Beach, a thematic venue showcasing the undersea environment and marine life. Here, you can not only see many live marine animals and specimens but also enjoy spectacular underwater performances, making it an ideal destination for family visits. Begin your journey in the Dreaming Jellyfish Palace, where thousands of jellyfish display their splendor under the lights, then visit the Seal Pavilion to see the charming seals, sea lions, and penguins. In the richly collected Marine Specimen Pavilion, witness various marine life specimens such as sperm whales, swordfish, and sea turtles. Next, the fully underground ‘Underwater World’ Pavilion offers a comprehensive undersea visual experience, allowing you to walk through the transparent undersea tunnel and feel the fish swimming around you, or watch tropical fish like clownfish swimming around the corals in cylindrical tanks. The live underwater performances in the Ocean Theater are also very popular, where you can enjoy thrilling ‘Man and Shark Dance’ and the beautiful and dreamy ‘Mermaid’ performance, and sometimes even humorous underwater skits performed by divers. After learning about marine life, you can visit the Freshwater Life Pavilion to see rare freshwater creatures like the arapaima, Chinese sturgeon, and giant salamander, and witness the charm of these ‘living fossils’. Qingdao Underwater World has multiple exhibition halls, with a one-way visiting route that does not allow backtracking, starting from the entrance on the south side of Laiyang Road and ending on the north side.
