🐧 Taoxue Penguin Golden Autumn Parade｜Top event meet-and-greet that will melt your heart
⏰ National Day exclusive sessions: 9:30/13:30/16:30 (Free at Polar Square!)
"Taotao" with a yellow backpack leads the way crossing the street, his round body swaying will melt your heart～ The rare golden autumn parade, the top hit that went viral 30 billion times during the ice and snow season is finally here for National Day!
💡 Local tip: Get to the front row 20 minutes early, shoot from a low angle to capture their cute chests and heads held high, plus there are surprise giveaways along the way～
🌌 Ocean Pavilion Double Highlights｜Tunnel + Star Palace non-stop photo ops
• 270° panoramic tunnel: Fish swim overhead, stand in the middle and look up at 45°, capture the same romantic light and shadow as in "Her"
• Twelve Star Palace: Each constellation corresponds to a unique marine creature, shoot side profiles under blue-purple soft light, even hair looks like it’s coated with a dreamy glow
🐳 Beluga Show "Heart of the Ocean"｜The ultimate moment of the whole show
⏰ Sessions: 10:30/15:30 (Reserve your seat 40 minutes early!)
The 2025 upgraded "Ocean Heart Kiss" is so beautiful it brings tears! Four belugas dance with trainers forming a heart shape, paired with ethereal music that’s breathtaking, a famous scene listed among the "Top 50 Historic Moments Worldwide"!
📍 Best spot: Rows 1-3 in the center, clearly capture the belugas blowing heart-shaped bubbles, your social feed will explode with questions
🐬 Dolphin Show｜Maximum interaction
⏰ Sessions: 11:30/14:30
3D holographic curtain + dolphins leaping high is stunning! The lucky 5th row on the left side gets dolphins swimming over for eye contact and interaction, sometimes penguins even make a cameo in the parade
