The venue looks like a blue crystal palace. It is the aquarium with the most complete fish species in the country and is known as the Undersea Dragon Palace.
There are five special exhibition areas in the exhibition hall: penguin/freshwater fish hall, whale and dolphin specimen hall, ocean hall, underwater tunnel and marine animal performance hall.
It has the largest sperm whale skeleton in China, which is about 18.6 meters long and weighs about 48 tons. It is also one of the most complete large whale specimens in the world.

Xiamen Underwater World was opened to the public in January 1998. It has more than 350 species and more than 10,000 freshwater and marine fish from all continents and oceans. Xiamen Underwater World is located at Huangjiadu on the east coast of Gulangyu Island, close to the ferry terminal.
Suitable for personal sightseeing, the photos taken by the staff are expensive
It feels good, but the price on China-TravelNote is wrong. I bought the ticket after reading the content on China-TravelNote, but found that the price is different.
It's worth a visit and the price is reasonable. Compared with such a small aquarium, the content is quite complete. There are underwater tunnels and theater performances. The sperm whale specimen is a treasure of Zhenguang.
Xiamen Underwater World tickets are still a bit expensive
But it's still good to come and see
We came to the Happy Theater to watch the sea lions perform hilarious competitions, which drew applause from the audience. We walked through the underwater tunnel, watched various fishes swim by, interacted with dolphins and played with beluga whales, watched those magnificent underwater creatures float lightly, and watched the various coral reefs swaying in the water. The beluga whales attracted me the most. They had snow-white faces, broad and round foreheads, full and thick upper and lower lips, and bright eyes, revealing a clever look. In the water, they swam leisurely and leisurely, sometimes surfacing to find food, and occasionally close to the glass to greet tourists, which made me stare for a long time!
Xiamen Underwater World is located on Gulangyu Island. There is an underwater tunnel inside, but it is actually quite small. The performances only last about 10 minutes. If you have never been to the Underwater World, you can go and see it. It is all in glass.
There are many aquatic creatures, which are really eye-opening. There are many fish that you can't name at first glance.
When I entered the underwater world of Gulangyu Island, I found that the fish and turtles were too big to be real, and the corals and jellyfish were too beautiful to be real.
I think this underwater world is too small, and it didn't take long to visit. Because it was late, I didn't see the sea lion show until after 17:00.
The ticket to the Underwater World costs 91 yuan per person, there are no student tickets, and it is not included in the package. It is really not cheap. After the visit, I really feel that it is not worth the price.
As soon as we entered, we happened to catch an animal show. There was only one sea lion. The whole show lasted about ten minutes and was average to watch. I felt sorry for the sea lion, being locked in a cage and forced to learn some moves to please people.
After watching the show, we started from the first floor. There were quite a lot of animals, all in big fish tanks, which was not very interesting. There was a short submarine tunnel on the second floor, with sharks and turtles, but the overall content was very simple. It felt not as fun as the Xi'an Oceanarium, and there were also many people. But later we found out that there were only more than 300 people in the museum when we visited, and the comfortable tour was limited to more than 2,000 people. I was a little shocked at what the scene was like during the peak period. All in all, it is not recommended (unless you want to come in and spend 90 to enjoy the air conditioning).
The aquarium has more than 350 species of marine and freshwater fish from all continents and oceans, totaling more than 10,000. The entire underwater world is divided into the Oceanarium, Penguin and Freshwater Fish Hall, Sperm Whale Specimen Hall, and Dolphin Hall. The 100-meter-long underwater tunnel, the giant sperm whale skeleton, and the performances of marine life are all its highlights. The giant octopus sculpture at the entrance of the underwater world is everyone's favorite photo spot. Cost: Ticket price: 100 yuan per person
It's really small. I thought there would be rare species of fish and marine life. It's far worse than our Royal Polar Ocean World. It's a bit like a small fish tank. And there is only one walrus in the walrus show, which is monotonous and there are no dolphins🐬
There is a super large whale specimen, which is the biggest feature of the museum. I also saw a cute seal with its own expression pack, always staring at you with its cute round eyes, which is really cute. I also saw beautiful jellyfish. Forgive me for not remembering its romantic name... The rest are for viewing only, nothing special.
There is a sea lion show at 2 o'clock in the underwater world, so if you want to go there, please pay attention to the time. When you enter the door, they will help you take a photo, saying it is free, and then ask you to go to the restaurant to pick it up for free. When you go to pick up the photos, a staff member will tell you that the free photos are very small, and you can get six high-definition photos for 100 yuan, and you can also print the photos for you, and send the negatives to you via WeChat, and praise your beautiful photos, etc., and finally trick you into spending 100 yuan to buy six composite photos.
Standing in front of the big whale, I realized how small I am
When I saw a real turtle, I realized that it was really fucking huge.
The ticket is 90 per person. It is worth it. The fish inside are really magical. There is also a sea lion show at 4 o'clock, which is great!
Warm reminder: As soon as you enter the door, there will be so-called staff who will say they will take photos for you for free and you can go to the second floor to pick them up. That is a lie. You can take the photos, but don't go to pick them up because they cost money, 50 for two photos and 100 for six photos. There are some so-called hidden charges.
The underwater world on Gulangyu Island in Xiamen is worth a visit. It is quite large and you can spend 2 hours there. There are sea lion shows and you can watch the show if you time it right.
It's not very big, not as good as the one on the shore, not recommended
It is a relatively small oceanarium, but it can also increase your knowledge
Because we bought scalper tickets (75¥/person, original price for adults 90¥/person, no student tickets), we had to wait for the main group to gather. After the main group gathered, we set off to the underwater world. There are many strange marine animals hidden in the magical underwater world: blade fish (really as thin as a blade), color-changing jellyfish (super beautiful, but highly poisonous), and we also visited a super-large scent whale skeleton, which can be said to be very shocking~
I have long wanted to take a dream photo of the underwater tunnel, and this time I was finally able to do so. However, due to limited time and having to return to Xiamen in the afternoon, we gave up watching the sea lion show.
At the corner of Longtou Road by the sea, there is Xiamen Underwater World, but the ticket is 90, and there are not many animals on display. I don’t know who gave the courage to charge such a high price. But seeing that it was deserted, I left with peace of mind.
There is a relatively small underwater park on Gulangyu Island, which houses a very large whale fossil and where you can watch sea lion performances.
There are so many animals inside, and there is a conveyor belt where people can stand on it without having to walk. There are sea animals all around, which is very interesting.
The underwater world was built relatively early, almost 20 years ago, so the facilities are not very good, and the light inside is a bit dim. However, if you have never seen such an underwater world, it is very suitable to see it. There are many rare underwater creatures swimming around above your head, and there are sea turtles swimming around. That feeling is definitely better than what you see on TV. If you have not been there, you can go. It is also very suitable for children to see.
The underwater world that I had been dreaming about on Gulangyu Island was actually very small... and relatively simple. There were sea animal performances, and then there were bone specimens and skin models of sperm whales. There was a small underwater tunnel~ Some underwater animals from Central Asia~
I took a photo outside ~ hehe, the backlight was a little dark.
A little disappointed. The underwater world is not very big and you can reach the end after walking for a while. It is not as good as the Harbin Polar Museum. I personally do not recommend it.
The scale is relatively small, and the ticket price of 100 yuan is a bit high. It is not particularly recommended to go, but if you are afraid of the sun, or if you are with your children, you can go in and take a look.
The Underwater World is not far from Sanqiutian Pier, opposite the Piano Pier, and is easy to find. The baby is not interested in mountains and waters, and finally looked forward to coming to the Underwater World. With a cheer, he ran into the Ocean World.
There is also a complete sperm whale specimen. We searched for a long time before we saw the sperm whale's eyes. It was inexplicably cute.
The underwater tunnel is more than 1,000 meters long and has an automatic track. People stand on it and move along the conveyor belt to watch the fish easily. But when we went there that day, there were a lot of people and the automatic track was not running. It was a little regretful that we couldn't experience it.
The sea lion show has limited time and performances every day. The cute sea lions are very well-behaved.
I'm here again. Last time I made an appointment with the old captain to see you next time, but I didn't expect to come so soon. This time I brought a few friends. Such a fun and exciting sailing trip should of course be shared with friends. Blowing the sea phoenix is just like controlling the wind, controlling the waves, and even controlling the surging sea. We all got wet, and the captain let us steer the rudder ourselves. My friends also said that they had a lot of fun. Friends who come to Xiamen should not miss it. If you have time, come and experience it. There will be unexpected surprises. Because the captain is very good, I also promised him that I would help him recommend it. If you want to take a sailboat or yacht in Xiamen, you can find him. WeChat: lxwtw1261 Captain Li
I don't remember the ticket price. It should be 90 yuan. The place is not big, but there are quite a lot of varieties. Maybe the life is quite comfortable. The fish inside are quite dull, eh. No. It's quite peaceful?
Because my wife is lazy and doesn't like to walk, we didn't visit many places. I feel that the only place worth visiting in Gulangyu is here! The funniest thing is that when we came out and walked up the mountain from here, an old man approached us mysteriously. Later, I found out that he was a fortune teller. He actually guessed my last name, and then said that my wife is blessed and will never lack money in the future, etc. Nothing wrong! It's hard for my wife not to have a good life! ! Hehehehehe~
It was my first time here, and I had close contact with the small animals, which broadened my horizons.
I like it very much, really,
Xiamen Underwater World exhibits more than 350 species of marine and freshwater fish, nearly 10,000 of them, including colorful living corals, endangered sea turtles, rare Australian sea dragons and seahorses, man-eating fish and walruses from the Amazon River, giant sharks and groupers from Indonesia, coral reef fish from the South China Sea, and precious freshwater fish. It is currently the most colorful aquarium in China.
Xiamen Underwater World is located opposite to Shuzhuang Garden, and it has the same scenery as other underwater worlds. You need to pay for tickets, but I don't remember the price. You can also watch the sea lion show when you enter, which is quite worth it. If you bring your children, you can go and see it. If you are a couple, I think you can still swing slowly on the island, which will be more meaningful.
Xiamen Underwater World is on Gulangyu Island. Tickets are 80 yuan. It's very small... See the pictures for what creatures there are... There are a lot of people.
Very average, not recommended, relatively small, few species of marine animals
This is a rip-off attraction, at least for now. It's small, with few marine life on display, but a lot of people, and the tickets are damn expensive. There's also a sea lion theater every hour... Yes, there are only three classic sea lion performances: clapping, heading, and arithmetic. It's over in ten minutes. If you don't want to take your kids there to broaden their horizons, don't go.
Xiamen Underwater World is a famous attraction on Gulangyu Island. It is a large aquarium transformed from the original Gulangyu Park. It is worth visiting with children and is quite interesting. It is just west of the Piano Pier, on Longtou Road. If you want to visit this place first after going to the island, you can walk there. The ticket price is 90 yuan, and the children's ticket price is 50 yuan. The interior looks old and there are not many attractions. It feels not worth the ticket price. Be careful to go there on holidays. There are too many people and the experience is very poor. The underwater tunnel is my favorite. It feels great to see schools of fish swimming towards you. There are dolphin and sea lion performances at 9:30 and 11:30 in the morning, and 2 and 4 in the afternoon. Calculate the time and go early to reserve a seat. If you miss it, you will have to wait for a long time. After coming out, it is recommended to have lunch on the commercial street. There are many southern Fujian snacks and the price is not expensive.
The ticket price is 90. There are skeletons and skin specimens of sperm whales. There are sharks, dolphins, turtles, various coral jellyfish and so on. It is worth mentioning that there are sea lion performances at fixed times.
Xiamen Underwater World, the water is so green. There are only two penguins.
The aquarium is not very big, but the sea lion show is quite vivid.
To be honest, I don't recommend it because the venue is very small. I thought the underwater world near the sea was the real underwater world, but it turned out to be the same as the one in Wuhan, a small section made of glass. It's not as big as the one here. Many fish are also common, but the key is that the shark is less than one meter long, and there are still many tourists watching.
The round trip ferry is 8 yuan per person, and the ticket to the Underwater World is 90 yuan, which is a bit expensive. The scale is not very large, but the children had a lot of fun, and I also bought my daughter's favorite souvenirs (my daughter has to choose a plush toy for every aquarium we visit).
I went there with a group, it was very average, most people went there with a group, I don't recommend traveling on your own
The facilities in the entire Ocean World are old, the smell is strong, and there are few things to visit. I feel that the money spent is not worth it. I only saw one dolphin.
It was my first time to go to the underwater world. The scenery was great and there was a dolphin show.
I wanted to take my kids to see different marine creatures, so I chose Xiamen Underwater World, which I think is very suitable for children.
The underwater world on Gulangyu Island is quite small, but the octopus statue at the entrance is really "domineering"
The most worth seeing thing in the underwater world is this fat and cute sea lion. The performance is not long but it makes everyone laugh.
The underwater world on Gulangyu Island is actually not very big. Although I grew up in a coastal city, I have never been to the local underwater world. However, this underwater world still did not surprise me too much. I think the most fun thing is the "underwater pedestrian tunnel". You don't have to walk by yourself. You can just stand on the conveyor belt and concentrate on enjoying the 180-degree underwater landscape~
There was also a shark embryo, which was really alive and could be seen moving! Unfortunately, I didn’t see any real piranhas, maybe they were too dangerous. There were only a few simulated model fish hanging in the tank…
The sea lion show was also very exciting. I felt like I had fulfilled my childhood dream. I watched it with my future husband, haha~
In addition, let me talk about the members of the seabed~ seahorses, seals, dolphins, jellyfish, various sharks, giant whale specimens, fish that seem to be scavengers and like to stick to the fish tank. I don’t know if they are scavenger fish, clownfish, corals, penguins, electric eels, sea turtles, etc., etc.... Fish that I can’t name, some of them feel like sea fish sold in the vegetable market, haha~
In general, I am very satisfied with the trip to Gulangyu Island and the Underwater World. Haha.
Xiamen Underwater World is very small, much smaller than Tianjin, but it has something worth seeing. The museum houses the world's largest and most complete sperm whale skeleton specimen, as well as a sperm whale skin specimen. Tickets are 90 yuan, and student IDs, senior citizen IDs, and disability IDs are still valid. There is a seal show in the museum, which can be seen at the entrance of the performance hall on the second floor after entering the museum. Don't miss the time.
It was almost dark when we came out of Haoyue Garden. We didn't know where to go, so we saw the Underwater World on the way back and bought tickets on a whim. The tickets were quite expensive, with evening tickets costing 90 yuan per person. But fortunately, I wasn't disappointed. There were a lot of cute sea animals!
This is the favorite place for children. There are many kinds of underwater creatures, especially the jellyfish that can change color. Children like it very much. Various kinds of fish shuttle over their heads as if they are swimming in the underwater world. The live sea lion performance makes children excited, but the performance time is too short.
I didn't go in, but the big octopus outside is very cute hahaha
It is suitable for taking children to play together, suitable for people who have never been to the underwater world, and suitable for parent-child travel.
Generally speaking, it is much smaller than the one in Beijing, and is just enough to take a look. But you can still see many fish that you don't recognize.
I think compared to the store for hipsters, this one is more suitable for ordinary people.
Xiamen Underwater World is located on Gulangyu Island. You can just walk there after getting off the ferry. It is easy to find. The octopus logo is very large and you can see it at a glance. There is the sea next to it, and it faces Xiamen across the sea. The peak season is summer, and there are many people and it is very crowded. The inside is not very big. You can finish the tour in more than 1 or 2 hours.
It should be noted that the ticket price is 90 and there are no student tickets.
Let’s talk about the contents of this underwater world. Actually, rather than calling it an underwater world, it’s more like a marine life museum if you don’t go there. But there is still something worth seeing inside, including dolphin and sea lion performances.
The Underwater World is right next to the Citizens' Wharf, about 500 meters away from the Sanqiutian Wharf.
The fare is 90 yuan, but the fare booked in advance on Tongcheng is 80 yuan. Since we decided to go there at the last minute, we didn't get the 10 yuan discount~~~
When we got close to the sea lion show, we found a huge sperm whale skeleton specimen. The skull was 6.2 meters long, 2.2 meters wide and 1.7 meters high. It was very surprising. Xiamen Underwater World actually has such a huge creature. Next to it was a sperm whale skin specimen. It turned out that in 2000, a sperm whale was discovered in Xiamen waters. Then the Third Ocean Bureau and various departments of Xiamen cooperated to make a sperm whale skeleton and skin specimen to display in Gulangyu Underwater World for tourists to visit. There was also a related video introduction next to it. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry to get there and didn't watch it carefully. In the end, I watched a simple sea lion show.
After the last round, I think the most worth seeing is the sperm whale exhibition hall. After all, it is rare to see it! It is worth a visit~~~
Not bad, suitable for children to play, and there are sea lion shows!
The big animal models are the logo, such as the octopus on my head~
I didn't go in to see it, but the facade of the attraction and some free facilities are worth taking pictures of. Many parents bring their children here to play, but parents are still reminded to take good care of their children and not encourage them to climb up those models.
Very good, very good, very good, very good, very good
It's ok inside, you can go for a walk if you have nothing to do...
I personally think it's average and don't recommend going. It's 90 yuan per person and it feels quite small inside.
It is much smaller than other aquariums, with too little space and things to see. I think the cost performance is low. If you don't watch the show (15 minutes), you can finish the whole tour in about 20 minutes at most.
If you are visiting Gulangyu, it is recommended to visit other attractions, which relatively do not have the characteristics of Gulangyu and Xiamen.
The aquariums I have seen in other places before were relatively larger and had more species.
The ticket is 90 yuan, and there are many specimens to make up the number. Overall, it is not very good, so I don't recommend going. If you have a chance, you should go to see the one in Beijing, which is much more advanced than the one in Xiamen.
I heard that the underwater world is fun, so I decided to go in and play. The ticket price is 90 yuan per person. I originally wanted to use my student card to get a discount at the end of my university, but I didn’t expect that students don’t get discounts. It wasn’t very fun. The only thing worth seeing was the interaction between people and sea lions at the end.
There are quite a lot of marine animals inside. You can clearly see sharks swimming overhead in the glass tunnel... There are marine animal performances at different times.
The location is easy to find, right next to the ferry terminal. There is a big octopus sculpture at the door, but the ticket is 90 yuan. Whether it is worth it depends on your personal experience. It is currently under renovation and surrounded by blue guardrails. It is said that when it is repaired, you can watch the night show and get 10 yuan off.
We went to the aquarium, which is very small, with three floors. At the end, we watched a seal show, which lasted only ten minutes. If you don’t bring children, I really don’t recommend going.
It's nice to take the kids there, and we were lucky enough to see the sea lion show!
The environment is a bit bad, not very satisfactory, but still worth a visit
When I came to the seaside city, I suddenly wanted to go to the Ocean World, but it was a bit disappointing. Maybe it was because Gulangyu itself is not big enough, so the scale of this Ocean World is also very small, and many facilities are relatively simple. There is really a big gap between it and the Polar Ocean World in Qingdao.
I don't know if it's because I've been to this underwater world, so I'm not interested in the underwater worlds I've been to since then. I was dragged there by a friend, but the sightseeing tunnel really attracted me. I looked up and saw fish swimming by, and there were staff who could help me take pictures, which was great. It was also very big inside.
Xiamen Underwater World is pretty good, but I don't know why there are fewer marine creatures than before. The ticket price is 150 yuan, which can be purchased online in a group purchase, but there is no discount for student ID. As soon as you get to Gulangyu Island, you can see the big logo of the Underwater World - the giant squid. This logo is quite distinctive. The underwater tunnel inside is not very long but very beautiful. I like to see jellyfish the most. I don't have much interest in other things, but it's still fun to accompany my children to see it.
I went there with my girlfriend. The ticket was 90 yuan, and there was no so-called student ticket.
There are many creatures in the ocean. The one that impressed me the most was the seahorse, which was small and cute. There was also a sea lion show, which was great.
I saw some friends say it was not interesting, but I decided to give it a try since I had never been to Ocean Park before. It really did not disappoint me. It was fun. My mom and I were very happy. The short 15-minute show was also very exciting! Worth it!
Xiamen Underwater World was opened to the public in January 1998. It has more than 350 species of marine and freshwater fish from all continents and oceans around the world, more than 10,000 fish. Xiamen Underwater World is located at Huangjiadu on the east coast of Gulangyu Island. It was originally Gulangyu Park, close to the ferry terminal, between the Piano Pier and Sanqiutian Pier.
Xiamen Underwater World has novel facilities and modern equipment, and the most prominent facility is the underwater tunnel. The underwater tunnel is 80 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. When you enter the underwater tunnel and stand on the electric walkway, you can see the large concave fish ponds on both sides. Passengers can "enter the underwater world" and swim with fish without diving. They can see the world of fish in all directions and up and down. The endless stream of fish is close at hand, passing by, fierce sharks with sharp teeth are rushing in front of you, and huge fish are free and slow to float over your head... The divers feed fish underwater, the fish fight for food, and the wonderful scene of people and fish blending into one is amazing.
Another unique facility in Xiamen Underwater World is the cylindrical fish pond, which is 7 meters high and 2.5 meters in diameter. This height is equivalent to nearly three floors of a building. You can watch the fish activities on the surface and the bottom on the steps. The three-dimensional sense is more obvious. The large cylindrical fish tank mainly displays the colorful coral reef fish in the South my country Sea.
