Beijing Aquarium

Beijing Aquarium, Aquarium in Haidian District, Beijing, China

Beijing Aquarium occupies 120,000 square metres inside Beijing Zoo in Haidian District, with a built area of 42,000 square metres. The building stands beside the Chang River, near the Beijing Exhibition Center, the Planetarium and the Capital Indoor Stadium. Its galleries hold marine and freshwater displays, including a walk-through tunnel beneath the tanks.

Beijing Aquarium opened on 27 March 1999 inside Beijing Zoo in Haidian District. It was built with nearly US$100 million invested by Beijing Zoo and Hong Kong's Baishilida International, covering a total area of 42,000 square metres. In 2022, Maohua Shihua bought a 69% stake in operator Beijing Xinwoda for 420 million yuan.

Beijing Aquarium sits inside Beijing Zoo in Haidian District, beside the Chang River and near the Beijing Exhibition Center, Planetarium and Capital Indoor Stadium.

The aquarium sits inside Beijing Zoo in Haidian District, with the Chang River along its south side and the Beijing Exhibition Center, planetarium and Capital Indoor Stadium nearby. The whole visit is indoors, so weather does not affect it. Allow time to combine it with the zoo.

One hall is dedicated to a rainforest environment and displays tropical freshwater fish and plants from the Amazon region, offering a completely different water world from the marine sections. This space takes visitors from ocean habitats directly into South American ecosystems.
