Shanghai Ocean Aquarium

Shanghai Ocean Aquarium

Shanghai Ocean Aquarium is an international-level modern ocean aquarium of a large scale. It is the aquarium with most types of aquatic animals in China. Its display theme is "crossing five continents through the underwater world". It generally has 28 display areas distributed in eight large display zones, namely, Asia, South America, Australia, Africa, cold water, polar region, sea water as well as ocean deep. In addition, there is a Chinese display area, which displays the aquatic organism and ecology of the Long River Delta as well as the rare aquatic organisms which are being extinct in China.

Q: Carter Asked on 2013-01-31 Reply
hey , is there any discount to students who are studying in china ? And where should we stay so that all places can be near by , like center point of all places.

Dear Carter,

In most of attractions you could have a 20%-50% discount when you buy the entrance fee showing your student ID card. Shanghai is a big city, the attractions are widely distributed, it is a long distance between one and another. I suggest you stay in down town, it will be convenient to take bus, subway or taxi. In general, we usually recommend our clients stay round Nanjing Road Pedestrian street, such as the Bund Hotel Shanghai, Kingtown Hotel Plaza Shanghai.
