Park scale

The Beijing Ocean Hall covers an area of 120,000 square meters, with a building area of 42,000 square meters and a greening area of more than 80,000 square meters.

Beijing Ocean Hall is a large, modern and advanced popular science hall of marine life. It is in the leading position at home and abroad in many aspects: the largest overall building area, the largest total water area; Beijing Oceanic Museum pioneered artificial sea water, and the sea water volume is quite large . The Beijing Ocean Museum has the world's advanced subsistence system, using artificial seawater, with a total water volume of 18,000 tons.

There are more than 1000 species of marine fish and organisms reared and displayed in the museum, with tens of thousands of them. At the same time, the biological collection is also the largest: the total number of fish reared by marine organisms is 30,000-50,000, including nearly 1000 species of marine ornamental fish and freshwater ornamental fish. Tens of thousands of ornamental fish have entered the aquarium and have fully adapted to the new environment. In addition to ornamental fish, the Beijing Marine Museum also has a powerful marine animal performance troupe, whose members include dolphins, whales and sea lions and other mammals.

Purpose of building a museum

The purpose of the Beijing Ocean Museum is to "Tao Yi, educate students and maintain ecology".

Beijing Oceanographic Museum introduces aquatic life knowledge to tourists, tells stories about the sea and advocates environmental protection awareness through rich fish exhibitions, protection and publicity of rare and endangered species, splendid marine animal performances and various popular science activities. In it, people can not only appreciate different kinds of marine life, but also experience the relationship between human beings and the ocean. Tourists not only get Tao Yi, but also get lessons during the tour, which improves their consciousness of caring for marine animals and protecting the earth's homeland.

In the year of Xiaolong, Beijing Ocean Museum held the "Dragon Fish Culture Exhibition" in 2012, which combines marine resources with traditional Chinese culture, improves the quality of marine resources display and the environment for visitors to experience the magical dream of the marine world, while advocating the concept of national environmental protection and popular science interaction, and fulfilling the social responsibility of enterprises.

The pavilion has arranged seven display areas for visitors, including "Rainforest Wonder", "Custom Beach", "Seabed Tour", "Bering Town", "National Treasure Chinese Sturgeon Hall", "Whale Bay" and "Ocean Theatre".

The exhibition area consists of seven parts:

Whale and Dolphin Bay - a venue for dolphins and sea lions.

Ocean Theatre - the largest of its kind in China, with more than 3,000 seats, is a venue for dolphin and sea lion performances.

Divers carry a variety of food into the water with oxygen cylinders on their backs. While feeding, they introduce different kinds of fish to tourists. What attracts tourists most is the flat-bodied stingray (commonly known as Devil Fish). The stingray mainly feeds on small invertebrates or zooplankton. Most of the time, it is mild temperament, so divers can put food into the mouth by hand. But the Stingray tail has poisonous spines. If it feels threatened, it will defend itself with poisonous spines (some people are reported to have been stabbed to death by stingray), so the performance is also dangerous.
