Shanghai Ocean Aquarium

A nice way to spend a relaxing day while in the wonderful city of Shanghai is by heading to the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium. It is easy to get to from anywhere in the city, whether you are taking the bus, taxi, or subway, and you will find that it offers a lot of entertainment. The aquarium is also home to the longest underwater tunnel in the world.

The Shanghai Ocean Aquarium is divided into 9 distinct parts.
