About this place

Underwater World features an array of aquariums and live performances by dolphins and sea lions.  The highlight is a pedestrian walkway that tunnels through a large aquarium that includes sharks, rays, fish and one very big turtle.  For a 200  yuan fee, visitors can actually dive into the aquarium.
 
In 2007 they started a new exhibit called "Polar World".  This includes a polar bear, arctic foxes, penguins and at least one sickly looking reindeer.
 
Some signs are only in Chinese but others include English or "Chinglish".  Chinese cafeteria food is available for 15 yuan per person.

Take bus 9, Y1 (游1), 20 or Y3 (游3).

Underwater World is on the south side of Purple Mountain within walking distance of Ming Maosoleum (Ming Xiaoling).
