Development history

Qingdao marine products Museum (namely Qingdao aquarium and Qingdao Marine Science and Technology Museum) is the only museum in China that focuses on breeding and displaying marine life. It now has five pavilions, including aquarium, exhibition hall, Antarctic Museum, freshwater fish Museum and rare and protected animal museum.
