The bulk of the aquarium is experienced through a moving conveyor belt that takes you through transparent tunnels which is the next best thing from actually being in the water yourself. From here you can get up close and personal with various marine life, though getting even closer is also possible. Tour guides will take you through the aquarium explaining everything along the way. The guides available at the aquarium speak both Chinese and English.
