The blue water, jumping and flying dolphins, gorgeous tropical fish, and unheard of strange marine life.
Every frame of the picture is an excellent photographic work, and every audience commented "Beautiful bomb! Beautiful cry!"
This is the BBC documentary - "Blue Planet 2"

While expressing their love and fascination for the ocean through documentaries, people express their envy and hatred for the BBC photography team.
But fortunately, there are still some excellent aquariums in the world that can help us make up for our regrets, restore the beautiful "blue planet" for us, and strive to break the "glass wall" between man and nature.
Kenting, Taiwan, China: Sleeping in the arms of the sea
Visiting Mr. Shark at night, falling asleep with penguins, being woken up by the dawn and tropical fish, and being alone with the beluga whale in the early morning, this may be one of the most perfect ways to get in touch with the sea.
At the Pingtung Aquarium in Kenting, Taiwan, you can sleep peacefully in the arms of the sea.

As the sun sets slowly, the bustling crowds of visitors leave one after another, and your journey to the "Blue Planet" has just begun.
Take a walk in the Taiwan Aquarium, meet colorful corals in the Coral Kingdom Pavilion, face to face with the huge seaweed forest in the World Aquatic Pavilion, and then follow the marine conservation staff to visit the "mysterious backstage" of the aquarium, carefully observe the night activities with a special flashlight Marine life, by the way, learn about the evolutionary history of the ocean.

You will feel as if you have been completely isolated from the land, traveling freely in the ocean world for thousands of years, and the story of marine life is far more magical and exciting than we imagined.
The most anticipated sleepover moment is at 10pm. You can choose to sleep with colorful tropical fish in the undersea tunnel area, or you can choose to experience the gentle "white whale wake up" in the beluga area.
You can also choose to experience the company of penguins from the southern hemisphere and puffins from the northern hemisphere across the equator in the polar regions.
During the 18 hours in the Pingtung Aquarium, your eyes were almost always occupied by large areas of blue, you could hear the beluga whales in your ears, and you would constantly hear love stories about the reproduction of marine life.
As a result, the curiosity was satisfied time after time, the heart was healed time after time, the love for the ocean became stronger, and more scientific meaning was added.
Osaka, Japan: Indulging in the "Circle of Life"
"The Earth with its volcanic activity and all living things that exist on it interact with each other to form a living being."
This is the Gaia hypothesis proposed by the British scientist James E. Lovelock (James E. Lovelock), and it is also the source of inspiration for the design of the Kaiyukan in Osaka, Japan.
▲Osaka Kaiyukan
As one of the largest aquariums in the world, Osaka Aquarium is unique in architectural design and exhibition planning.
Its building exterior is covered in blue, red and black, which symbolize water, fire and earth respectively, echoing its unique theme of "Pacific Rim Volcanic Belt".
The Pacific Rim has also formed the "Ring of Life" with the densest and most diverse distribution of marine life due to crustal movement and the convergence of cold and warm currents.
A "circle of life" aquarium that occupies the right time, place, and people, invites you to indulge together.
Walking into the aquarium, a "water gate" decorated with tropical fish will let you enter the situation in a second. Going down the spiral staircase, we will "dive" into the underwater world layer by layer.

During the "diving" process, you will see 19 permanent exhibition areas based on the biological habitats of the Pacific Rim volcanic belt, covering Japanese forests, Ecuadorian tropical rainforests, the Antarctic continent, and the Arctic Circle, and truly feel the all-encompassing depths of the ocean and endless possibilities.
"Pacific Northwest" is the largest exhibition area in the Aquarium, and it is also the biggest highlight. The entire exhibition area is a giant water tank with a width of 34 meters, a depth of 9 meters and a water storage capacity of 5,400 tons, in which lives the whale shark, the largest cartilaginous fish in the world. When you are in it, you will feel as if you are surrounded by sea water. When the whale shark swims by, there will be waves of turbulent waves in your heart.

This is the magic of Aquarium Kaiyukan. With the world's top level of richness and meticulous environmental layout, it will awaken all your senses and make people addicted to the blue.
I believe that even experienced players in the aquarium will gain an unusual experience here.
Sydney, Australia: Finding Nemo in the Southern Hemisphere
As a country famous for the world's largest and longest coral reef group - the Great Barrier Reef, Australia's rich and unique marine biological resources need not be repeated.
How can you miss the Sydney Aquarium, which can give you a comprehensive understanding of the magical marine life in the southern hemisphere at one time.

Unlike other aquariums in the world, Australia's unique species are the protagonists here. This is evident from the platypus, the first star at the entrance.
Then, our footprints will start from the freshwater rivers in southern Australia, extend to the tropical waters in the north, and finally come to the world's largest exhibition area of the Great Barrier Reef.
There are more than 6,000 animals living in this huge "sea area", and the fascinating scenes in "Finding Nemo" have been perfectly reproduced here.
▲The scene in "Finding Nemo 2" is almost a reproduction of the Sydney Aquarium
In addition, going to the dugong exhibition area to date the "mermaid" is also a must-do.
What is even more surprising is that the main body of the dugong exhibition area is a giant water tank floating on the harbor, which will float up and down with the waves. When you are in it, you will always have a wonderful illusion of swimming with the cute mermaid.

Although the existence of the aquarium is the same as the existence of the zoo, it continues to spark controversy.
However, there is no doubt about the efforts and achievements made by many excellent aquariums in the world in popularizing the knowledge of marine species and conveying the concept of protecting marine life.
Through these well-designed venues and exhibitions, we can finally understand the wonderful world hidden under the blue sea more intuitively. This is undoubtedly one of the best ways to break the "glass wall" between man and nature.
Indian environmentalist Baba Diom had a famous speech: "In the end, we only protect what we love; and we only love what we know; but in the end, we know what we were taught those things."
Thanks to these thoughtful and excellent Mini versions of "Blue Planet", let us get acquainted with the ocean, be healed by blue, and gradually learn how to love this blue planet.
