The Shenyang Ocean World (actually located outside of Shenyang), was recently opened in 2006 around the same time as the World Horticultural Exhibition. Ocean World features a large “walk-through” aquarium with a variety of fish, sharks, turtles, rays, and much more. The aquarium also boats a sea lion show, a small reptile garden, a beluga whale, and perhaps the most amazing attraction…a mermaid show. 

 

For those in Shenyang simply seeking something to do, it’s worthwhile to make the trip to Ocean World. Also, construction is already underway on new attractions, so it can only get better in the future. 

 

Cost: 80 yuan per person.
