What are the introductions of Underwater World?
The bottom of the sea has left many illusions for people. People have always wanted to explore the seabed, but because of the pressure on the seabed and other factors, people have never had the opportunity. It was not until 1950s that geographers were able to map the underwater world with advanced technology. There is a towering ocean "ridge" at the bottom of the sea, forming an underwater "mountain range" that runs through all the oceans in the world. The "sea ridge" on the seabed is also called a broken valley, from which magma keeps pouring out. After the magma cooled, a series of new submarine mountains were formed on the seabed. This process is called submarine expansion. These new undersea mountains are called seamounts. As new rocks are added to the fault valley, the rocks on both sides gradually move away from the center of the ridge. Therefore, the rocks far away from the "mountain" are older. After seamounts and new submarine plains are formed, magma will continue to gush out from the fault valley. They play the role of "conveyor belt", pushing new seamounts out of the crustal rocks, and at the same time pushing them down slowly from the crustal rocks and melting into the mantle again, thus achieving the balance of rebirth and growth.
This is the seabed that people have always wanted to know, the vast ocean, from blue to green, where many animals and plants live. The seabed is also a colorful world. Green algae in the ocean is one of the main producers of atmospheric oxygen, and tropical corals in the ocean are the most abundant systems on the earth. Moreover, the intricate food web in the ocean breeds a wide variety of marine life, which is much more complicated than any ecosystem on land. From sulfur-eating microorganisms and bacteria living near the submarine crater to various deep-sea fish, their fluorescence can illuminate far away places and attract many creatures that feed on them. Even in some places, there may be hidden new species of animals called "sea monsters" to be discovered.
What are the interesting things in Shanghai Changfeng Underwater World?
Shanghai Changfeng Underwater World is mainly divided into two parts, one is the aquarium, and the other is the polar Mobidick performance hall.

What four aspects do you introduce the underwater world?
This paper introduces the underwater world from four aspects: the sound of the seabed, the activity characteristics of underwater animals, the differences of marine benthos and the topography of the seabed.
Seabed refers to the contact surface between sea water and land under deep water. The ocean area is about 362,000,000 square kilometers (65,438+040,000,000 square miles), accounting for nearly 765,438+0% of the earth's surface area. The ocean contains more than1350 million cubic kilometers of water, accounting for about 97% of the total water of the earth. The global ocean is generally divided into several oceans and smaller oceans.
Surface morphology of underwater solid earth. Because of the coverage of seawater, it is difficult to directly observe the topography of the seabed.
Extended data:
The seabed is the contact surface between sea water and land under deep water. The ocean area is about 362,000,000 square kilometers (65,438+040,000,000 square miles), accounting for nearly 765,438+0% of the earth's surface area. The ocean contains more than1350 million cubic kilometers of water, accounting for about 97% of the total water of the earth. The global ocean is generally divided into several oceans and smaller oceans.
The four oceans are the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Arctic Ocean (some scientists add the fifth ocean, that is, the waters near Antarctica), and most of them are bounded by land and seabed topographic lines.
The continental shelf is a natural extension of land to the sea. Originally, the coastal plain was submerged by seawater and became a shallow sea on the continental shelf. The shallow sea on the continental shelf surrounds the landing land like a wreath, but its total area is 27.5 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of the African continent. Most of the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea and East China Sea in China are on the continental shelf.
Seafood, such as fish and shrimp, is mainly caught from the shallow sea of continental shelf, and the aquatic products in the shallow sea of continental shelf account for 80% of the whole marine aquatic products.

China's largest underwater world!
Qingdao Underwater World [1] is a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot, located at Huiquan Bay in Qingdao, adjacent to Luxun Park, a famous scenic spot in Qingdao, and the first bathing beach. It integrates the original tourism resources such as Qingdao Aquarium, Herbarium, Freshwater Fish Museum, etc., and integrates with the natural beauty of mountains and seas, forming a spectacle of mountains and seas. Its unique geographical location and modern display means make it a unique marine ecological grand view garden in China. Qingdao Underwater World is a large-scale original ecological tourist attraction integrating marine tourism and popular science education. A number of special performances such as "Shark Dance", "Dream Mermaid Show", "Wukong Disturbs Underwater", "Tortoise and Rabbit Race", "Dragon and Phoenix Dance" and "Underwater Back Garden" have been launched, creating innovative and fashionable tourism experience projects such as "underwater adventure" and "underwater wedding".
Record.
Qingdao Underwater World has created a number of industry records, with two world firsts and four national firsts, forming a unique and beautiful landscape of Qingdao Gold Coast.
Since its opening, Qingdao Underwater World has been awarded the title of "Qingdao Honest Tourist Attraction" by Qingdao Tourism Bureau, and the title of "Demonstration Enterprise" by Shandong Tourism Bureau in 2004. Ticket inspector Wang Li was selected as one of the top ten people who moved Qingdao in 2004. In the selection activities of mainstream media in provinces and cities, Qingdao Underwater World has successively won the honors of "Charming Qingdao's Most Popular Tourist Attractions in 2004", "Shandong's Top Ten Most Popular Tourist Attractions (Points)", "Qingdao's Top Ten Favorite Places" and "Shandong's Top Ten Attractive Tourist Attractions".
Cross harbour tunnel.
The cross-harbour tunnel is 86.2m long and 2.5m wide. They are all circular enclosed spaces made of imported 20 cm thick arched acrylic glass (commonly known as plexiglass). The main water body of Qingdao underwater world is about 4000 tons, and hundreds of thousands of marine life are stocked. This is the best place to enjoy marine life. Part of the tunnel floor is an escalator, and tourists and friends can stop and visit when standing on the escalator. Looking up at all kinds of fish, you will have a feeling of swimming in the air, just like watching birds fly freely in the air. It should be reminded that although acrylic glass has good compression resistance and high transparency, it is very suitable for use as a display window, but it also has the characteristics of low hardness and fear of scratching. Therefore, our tourists and friends should take good care of these acrylic glasses and don't scratch them with their hands and hard objects. Through the acrylic glass of the cross-harbour tunnel, we can see all kinds of sharks: nurse shark, leopard shark, Japanese beard shark, black shark, white shark and so on. The sharks on display in Underwater World are all docile sharks.
Cabin passage
There is a cabin passage between the tunnel exhibition pool area and the marine life exhibition area of Underwater World, with unique scenery and thrilling scene effect.
When you are in the main exhibition area on the fourth floor of Qingdao Underwater World, you will pass by this must-see place. After visiting the main exhibition pool stocked with various marine life, you will find an underground passage with a length of about 30 meters and a strange decorative effect when you walk out of the cross-harbour tunnel. If the whole passage is bright and dark, all the walls imitate the deck style of the pirate ship, fragmented and embedded in the walls. In the crack of the broken deck, you can see the gurgling water, just like the undercurrent surging on the seabed, which makes people feel like crossing a sunken ship. What is even more amazing is the ground treatment of the whole section. The first half of the ground is called "walking on thin ice". Through the glass floor, coral sand and lights, the effect of the ship sinking into the sea floor is created. In the second half, the whole steel frame is used to hang the wooden structure, which makes people feel wandering when passing by, further strengthening the feeling of people in the shipwreck. The whole paragraph highlights the scene and effect of the broken submarine shipwreck, as well as the unbearable erosion of years, which will make every visitor to the underwater world fully experience the feeling of submarine shipwreck.
Cylindrical cylinder.
On the other side of the exhibition hall is the inner and outer circular exhibition area, with colorful coral landscaping, colorful anemones and beautiful tropical ornamental fish waiting for tourists.
The inner and outer circular exhibition areas are mainly composed of two exhibition pools, the inner tube and the outer ring, which mainly simulate the ecological environment of tropical coral reefs. In particular, the inner ring is composed of a cylindrical exhibition cylinder, which runs through the three-story exhibition area of the underwater world. Its height is 7.6 meters and its diameter is 5 meters. It can hold 100 tons of seawater, and it is the largest single cylindrical exhibition water body in the world at present. As the world's largest cylindrical showcase of coral reef biota, it makes full use of modern high-tech means, and uses vivid bionic rock landscaping to restore the mysterious and gorgeous underwater coral world to tourists vividly, realistically and perfectly.
Colorful corals, together with anemones of various shapes and colors, constitute a happy home for countless marine life. All kinds of marine fish raised in the world's largest cylindrical exhibition tank also have their own characteristics. Most of them are extremely beautiful tropical coral reef ornamental fish. These ornamental fish have dozens of kinds and thousands of tails. Their strange shapes and bright colors will make every visitor shine. These characteristics are all for self-protection, and in the process of continuous evolution, pseudocolors and mimicry adapted to the coral reef environment have gradually formed. Coral is home to tens of millions of tropical fish. They are closely linked, mutually beneficial and interdependent, forming a unique landscape of the seabed. Our large cylindrical exhibition tank can fully let you appreciate the elegance of coral reef fish.
In addition, visitors can enjoy all kinds of beautiful and generous butterfly fish, elegant angelfish, cute clown fish, strange-looking stickleback fish and naive cannonball fish calmly and carefully here, which is really beautiful and fascinating.
