Chinanews reporter Li Jiangning
What's different about an aquarium at the third pole of the earth?
"The marine animals here come from zero altitude and negative altitude areas, but they live in aquariums at high altitudes, which is very interesting." American cultural tourism expert Jiang Mu said.
On November 11th, a group of Chinese and foreign cultural tourism experts who participated in the "Meet the City of Happiness" - Foreigners + Big V Take You to Xining Visited Xining came to the Xining Ocean World Science Museum located in Xining Duoba New Town, Qinghai.

Clever dolphins, cute fennec foxes, clever ring-tailed lemurs, goofy otters... A variety of rare aquatic and terrestrial animals attract Chinese and foreign cultural tourism experts to take photos with them.
"In the United States, I also like to go to the oceanarium, but it's a childhood thing, and today I feel like I'm back to my childhood, and it's very happy, and it's worth coming." Jiang Lan, a cultural tourism expert, introduced the Xining Ocean World Science Museum to the camera, "Many animals here can interact with people, which is very fun." ”
Different from the traditional form of aquarium, Xining Ocean World Science Museum is a science museum with local characteristics as the theme of the ocean.

"I saw that this aquarium is also a local science education base, where some local rare fish are displayed, which is a very good platform for the public to popularize aquatic life." Di Jiufeng, a cultural travel expert, found a corner in the venue that impressed him: in the reptile display area, lizards of different species are displayed in glass cases.
"I saw a clear sign on the side, informing tourists that these animals were seized by the local forest police and sent here to be raised, which is also a warning to tourists that some animals are not allowed to be bought or sold or raised, which I think is very meaningful." He said.
In the aquarium, feed the alpacas, interact with ring-tailed lemurs, get up close and personal with penguins... Chinese and foreign cultural tourism experts are very happy.

"Although I have been to the aquarium in many places, I have seen a lot of small animals that I have never seen before at the aquarium here today." This is the 19th time that Li Qun, a cultural tourism expert, has come to Qinghai, and every time he "returns to Qinghai", he has given her a new experience. "This aquarium allows you to interact with the animals up close, and for that reason, I give it a five-star recommendation index." Li Qun said frankly.
The event was hosted by the Propaganda Department of the Xining Municipal Party Committee and the Qinghai Branch of China News Service, undertaken by the Qinghai Branch of China News Service International Communication Group, and supported by the Xining Municipal Bureau of Culture, Tourism, Radio, Film and Television, the Propaganda Department of the Chengzhong District Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the Chengzhong District Bureau of Culture, Sports, Tourism, Science and Technology.
