Get in touch with marine animals for a spiritual healing In my impression, summer in Qinhuangdao always comes late and goes late. Stepping into June, the island still has a comfortable weather of more than 20 degrees. There is not much rain, and you can enjoy the sunshine wantonly. It's still a bit cold to go into the sea, Ocean Park is a good choice, you can go to see marine animals or play rides. However, due to the epidemic situation, many scenic spots have not yet officially opened. My best friend said that a friend works in Shenglan Ocean Park. With this relationship, our two families decided to go to Shenglan to play.

Depart from the urban area at 8 o'clock in the morning, go west from Hebei Street to the West Expressway, and then go west along the Nandaihe Coastal Highway, about 50 minutes' drive, we arrived at Shenglan Ocean Park.

Entering the park, you first have to pass through a French town pedestrian street. The exotic decoration style is not open yet, but you can imagine the scenes that attract all kinds of food. I asked the staff around me, and they said that the park officially opened on June 6. Passing through the pedestrian street, there is an open artificial lake. Several children ran to the lake and shouted excitedly. It turned out that the lake was full of big koi. The children wanted to reach out to touch it, and the fish opened their mouths as if they wanted to eat. . The administrator said that if you post good photos, you can get fish food and walk around the lake to feed. Koi is a symbol of good fortune and good luck. Meeting koi is also a blessing of good luck. Chinese people always have this feeling.

There are also two items to experience on the lake: high-altitude zipline and rapids. This high-altitude zipline should be very exciting, starting from the mouth of this big whale to the opposite high platform, but I still hesitated because I am afraid of heights, I don't want my children to see me crying in fright.

At this time, the animals in the deep sea world are active, and we followed the staff to this small aquarium. The location at the door is the "Penguin House". The children are very quiet at this time, and it is really rare to see this friend from Antarctica.

There are two penguins who are very expressive. When they saw us coming, they jumped into the water to show their presence, and even made various actions in the water to interact with us. My little niece asked me: "Why can penguins in Antarctica live here? There is no ice and snow here." I didn't know how to answer...

Walking in, the light gradually dimmed, and fish schools could be seen on the entire wall. The lights of the stadium hit the small fish, reflecting light of different colors. Just as we were attracted by all kinds of fish, a diver "broke" into the fish school. It turned out that this was a "fish feeding show". Schools of fish surrounded the divers in layers, big fish and small fish scrambled for food, and divers teased the schools with fish food from time to time. After feeding, the divers cooperated with the instructors in the museum to show off their diving equipment one by one. This link is really unprecedented in other underwater worlds, and they can gain knowledge while enjoying the fun.

Continuing to walk in is the fish watching tunnel, surrounded by the whole underwater world, I can't help but imagine that I have become a mermaid and take risks with these fish. It is said that this fish viewing tunnel is the only 270° ring-shaped underwater tunnel in Qinhuangdao. I have experienced such a visual effect in the Ocean Aquarium in Shanghai before. I did not expect to have such benefits in a small island.

It is said that after the official opening of the park, there will be a mermaid show in the underwater world. It is a pity that I can't watch it this time.

The little nephew kept clamoring to see the dolphins. At about 11 o'clock, the training in the Ocean Theater began. First, the sea lion training. These two big guys don't care about whether there are spectators. This salute posture... No matter whether the standard is standard or not, they are very serious anyway.

Next is the performance time of the star little dolphin "Little July". It is said that "Little July" is the most popular here. Every time it performs, the theater is full of people. Xiao Qiyue and her partner wanted to show us some good moves, and the animal trainer asked us to stand opposite to watch. These two cute little ones were not ambiguous in training, and they kept a standard posture until the whistle sounded. According to reports, domesticated and mature dolphins like Xiao Qiyue can perform dozens of performances.

These angelic creatures are highly intelligent, and if you treat them with a friendly attitude, they will respond with warmth. When they open their fins to you, you can't help but go up and hug them. The skin of dolphins is a bit hard and slippery, like a cold leather sofa.

At this time, I was really like a child, vying to interact with the dolphins. The animal trainer said that the dolphins could be kissed on the cheeks, so I rubbed my face several times with wet wipes, for fear that the cosmetics would harm the dolphins. Its pointed mouth is cool, and the kiss on the face feels heart-melting. This experience fulfilled a childhood dream. When I was young, I liked dolphins. There was a dolphin plush toy next to my pillow. When I was lonely or scared, I would imagine that the toy would become a real dolphin to accompany me.

Because the epidemic is not over yet, the soles of the shoes must be disinfected when entering the training area. Just in case or don't wear expensive shoes. After coming out of the performance hall, the children were a little tired, so we found a piece of lawn to sit down and eat something.

This kind of lawn is also very clean. I took a picnic cloth before, otherwise I can have a picnic. Although there are restaurants in the scenic area, if you like to have a picnic, you must bring a picnic cloth in advance. Under the blue sky and green shade, you will have a good dining mood.

After a short rest, I regained my energy, and walked along the performance hall to the turtle feeding area, the open-air pool, where the turtles lay lazily. The elder brother who was traveling with me said that this sea turtle is very able to live and can outlive a human family. There is no food ready to be eaten today, so the children can only look at it helplessly. I checked quietly, and the average lifespan of sea turtles is about 150 years, but it is not considered the longest-lived creature yet.

This turtle is so big and lazy, are you the mock turtle in Alice?

Tired of bringing the children, we decided to go to Adventure Island. Various children's amusement facilities can let the beasts release their energy to the fullest, and adults can just watch from a distance.

It is recommended to come to the water park at the end, because the children will not be able to leave after playing. Just imagine which child doesn't want to slide, play with water, and be in the splash unscrupulously. If you come in July and August, you must go to the sea. It is best to bring a change of clothes and towels in advance.

While my best friend was watching the children, I also found a lot of painted backgrounds that are suitable for taking pictures. If you take a photo casually, you will be fashionable and popular.

Although I have lived on the island for many years, today is the first time I have had close contact with marine animals, and the excitement has not calmed down for a long time. Apart from the busy life, there is an opportunity to feel the innocence and loveliness of animals, which is also a spiritual healing. For children, close contact with animals can stimulate children's full desire for protection and sense of responsibility. Traveling, feeling, and thinking allow us to get close to nature again and again, and to meet our true inner self again and again.
