Gulangyu Curiosity World is a natural science museum that integrates astronomy, geography, humanities, and nature into a comprehensive science exhibition venue. It showcases the culture and arts of Southern Fujian along with a variety of peculiar animals and specimens. The museum is divided into three sections: the Southern Fujian Culture and Art Hall, the Curiosity Zoo, and the Global Curiosity Hall.

In the Southern Fujian Culture and Art Hall, traditional performances include the Southern Fujian puppet show, where the puppets can not only drink from cups and smoke but also perform acrobatics, such as balancing trays, juggling pots, and martial arts moves with spears and shields. Traditional lion dances are vibrant and energetic, while folk artists play drums and dance gracefully. The puppets in the show imitate human actions and emotions, capturing the essence of singing, reciting, acting, and fighting, as well as the full range of human emotions, in a remarkably lifelike manner.


The Curiosity Zoo features nearly a hundred rare pets, including two-headed three-eyed pigs, three-legged chickens, dancing mice, bird eggs, horned monsters, chinchillas, Pikachu, teacup dogs, eagle-faced humans, two-tailed lizards, and ET lizards.


The Butterfly and Insect Hall houses a four-foot large beehive, yin-yang butterflies, and butterfly chameleons (mummy butterflies), among over three hundred species of insects and butterflies.


The Global Curiosity Hall displays, white-haired magic stones, legendary yetis from the Himalayas, shrunken heads from the Amazon River, the mythical mermaid, adorable mummy cats, human bone rosaries, fifty-pound large shells, night pearls, gaba stones, and six-foot shark swords.


Opening hours and business status are subject to the daily opening conditions.
