Ocean World
    Destination Introduction
    Ocean World is located inside the Beijing Workers' Gymnasium. It is the first five-star large-scale marine aquarium in Beijing jointly built by China and New Zealand, featuring Asia's longest 120-meter acrylic underwater tunnel.

        Home to over 6,000 tropical marine fish, including reef fish, sharks, rays, eels, seahorses, starfish, deep-sea lobsters, as well as other mollusks and some endangered species, here you can feel as if you are swimming in a real tropical ocean world, enjoying the joy of being with the fish. The aquarium also has a dedicated education center that provides marine biology, marine ecology, and marine environmental education for children, teenagers, and adults.

        In Ocean World, you can walk through the transparent underwater tunnel, swim with the fish, explore the mysteries of the ocean, watch various fish and large "man-eating sharks," and witness the exciting live performance of humans dancing with sharks. In the underwater classroom, you can listen to fascinating stories about marine life and observe various fish specimens.

        The circular multi-functional "Ocean Theater" features a huge TV wall and can accommodate more than 200 people, making it the ideal venue for hosting various conferences, events, and celebrations.

        Additionally, Ocean World has recently introduced a rich lineup of Thai crocodile performances, which are both thrilling and exciting.

        The main tank at Beijing Gongti Ocean World holds 4.5 million liters of water, a tropical seawater tank made from 120 tons of Israeli-imported sea salt and artificially mixed with purified and fully filtered municipal water supply from Beijing. The water temperature is maintained at 23°C–26°C year-round, providing an almost natural environment for the over 6,000 tropical marine fish. The vast waters allow sharks to swim freely without tiring from constant turns. The fish on display come from around the world, including a 4.0-meter-long shark flown in from Miami, USA—the largest shark in the aquarium—as well as other large sharks from Australia and fish from the South China Sea.

        Beijing Gongti Ocean World boasts Asia’s longest acrylic underwater tunnel, stretching 120 meters, allowing visitors to view the underwater scenery of the main tank from a perspective similar to that of a diver. The water depth above the tunnel is 2 meters, and the tunnel material can withstand water pressure up to 40 meters. The exhibition hall houses 18 tanks showcasing different marine creatures, all using separate water supply systems from the main tank.  Transportation Information
