Taiwan's only 360-degree 3D immersive painted cultural and creative museum, like an underwater kingdom

Over here, over here—Meizi is here to share an ultra-popular and super special 3D painting. I heard it's also Taiwan's only 360-degree fully immersive 3D painted artwork.

Today, we’re in Nanfang’ao to take a good look at the Painted Tunnel Up. Moreover, Meizi will also tell you little stories about this underwater kingdom. So, let’s take Tinker Bell’s bamboo-copter and explore this underwater tunnel together.

Right next to Zhuda Yiwu Cultural and Creative Museum, there's Taiwan’s only 3D stereoscopic painted tunnel, and it’s even 360-degree immersive. No more teasing—let’s go appreciate the work of Artist Tu Long. As soon as you enter, you’ll be greeted by many corals of different sizes, and not only are the sizes varied, but the colors are pretty special too.

The main fishery products in Nanfang’ao are four types: mackerel, swordfish, sailfish, and sharks. So, right at the entrance of the underwater tunnel, there are four unique fish greeting us. When Meizi got close to the shark, she was genuinely startled at first—the painting was that lifelike.

Wow—wow—shark, don’t come any closer. I’m as timid as a mouse, and I’m not even tasty—just go away. Look at those teeth; they’re painted so realistically. So, friends who come here, remember there’s a shark nearby.

Opposite the shark are the swordfish and sailfish. Meizi stood inside the underwater tunnel, completely mesmerized. These fish are painted so vividly, it feels like you’re truly there, immersed in the vibe of an aquarium.

What are you doing, Meizi? Grandpa asked in confusion.
I’m busy fishing. Come help me quickly, look how busy I am. This fish is so huge, I can hardly stand straight.

How about this swordfish instead? Don’t sneak a kiss on me, I’ll get shy.
The further you walk inside, the more delightful surprises await—you’ll see beauties too.

There are so many mackerels inside. It left me dumbfounded. Let me give you a close-up shot.

Can you see these magnificent mackerels? So many, you can’t even count them all.

Meizi is here to tell a little story Up.
The main fishery produce of Nanfang’ao—in the 1980s, it produced coral. The bottom part of the painting shows whales and tuna, then swordfish, sailfish, sharks, and the tiny ones are mackerels. Mackerels are the main marine catch of Nanfang’ao. Among all the familiar sea creatures, there’s the well-known food chain where big fish eat smaller ones. This underwater tunnel also has its own kind of food chain: tuna chase swordfish, mackerels and tuna chase swordfish, and swordfish chase mackerels. Mackerels are small fish species and often curl themselves up like mini whirlpools when in danger. When fish encounter threats, the smaller ones curl up into what looks like fish tornadoes—that’s exactly what you see in this photo. Wow—through observing this underwater tunnel, it turns out there’s even a storyline. Today’s visit here has been super rewarding.

Meizi will give you a detailed guide route.
Start with the tunnel, slowly walk in to admire the beautiful underwater kingdom. Then, don’t be scared—when you reach the end and turn the corner, there’s an exit that leads directly to the third floor of Zhuda Yiwu. The third floor is connected. After exploring the third floor, check out the second floor, and finally the first floor—that completes your tour route.

After your visit, don’t forget, next to the underwater tunnel, there’s also a huge Apache helicopter painting.
There’s also a giant crab by the entrance—it’s super realistic.
