There are three indoor sites to watch water animals in Beijing, but the Beijing Aquarium is the largest and best one to visit. It offers a close-up view of the teeming life of the world's rivers and oceans. The porpoise performance and fish feeding times in the big tank are a great attraction here.
Admission: 100 yuan (US$12), students 50 yuan (US$6), seniors (over 60) 60 yuan (US$7.2). Two children under 1.2 meter admitted free with each adult.
Aquarium tickets include admission to the Beijing Zoo.
Opening hours: 9:30 am to 5 pm (6 pm on Saturday and Sunday). Ticket sales finish at 4 pm.
