Since opening, it has hosted landmark events: the 2016 breeding of China’s first artificially inseminated beluga whale, the 2018 launch of the “5D Castle Theater,” and partnerships with global conservation groups like WWF. In 2022, it expanded with a dedicated sea turtle conservation center, reinforcing its role as a eco-tourism leader.

Shopping on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was just amazing! It's truly the "First Commercial Street of China", where tradition and modernity blend perfectly. You can find awesome souvenirs and experience the trendy vibes in cool stores. The neon lights at night are just spectacular, shining bright like Times Square in New York. The food here is incredible too. I had a feast for my taste buds. Shanghai, I'll definitely be back!

As a solo traveler from Canada, I was nervous about navigating China alone—but this 11-day tour was PERFECT! From hiking the Great Wall at sunrise (Day 3) to gasping at the Terracotta Army (Day 5), every day delivered ‘pinch-me’ moments. The real showstopper? Zhangjiajie’s Avatar Mountains (Day 7)! Our guide made the stone pillars come alive with stories.
Massive thanks for handling all logistics—bullet train tickets, entry passes, car! And the 4-star hotels surprised me.

Our 2-day Zhangjiajie tour was beyond spectacular! As someone who’s visited Beijing and Shanghai for work, this trip revealed China’s wild, magical heart. Day 1 in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park felt like stepping onto Pandora—I’m a huge Avatar fan, and Yuanjiajie’s floating peaks left me breathless. The misty pillars and lush valleys like pure movie magic!
Then came Fenghuang Ancient Town, we eat dinner beside the thundering waterfall. It seems Unreal! The night views of stilt houses glowing over the river were straight from a fairy tale.
For fellow Avatar lovers and adventure seekers: Don’t miss this bucket-list experience! 10/10 would return.

A Home for A Beluga named Bella and Chinas own Belugas Lttle White and Little Grey? Please Help!
Dear Sir or Madam.
I am contacting you to find a nice home for a lonely beluga named Bella.
Bella is a loving beluga that has swam in the shallow waters of the mega mall and aquarium at Lotteworld for nearly a decade. Bella was once one of three whales who spent their days in a 1,224 ton-tank, but since her two "brothers" died unexpectedly, Bella serves as Lotte World Aquarium's lone beluga, something activists hope to change by helping to relocate the whale to a sanctuary, which they say can better serve her needs.
Unfortunately for Bella and those who want to see her freed, her release has been a long and slow moving one, something that experts worry could be doing untold damage to the whale.
I am hoping that the wonderful Chime long Ocean Kingdom and resort might be able to relocate Bella to your beautiful facilities and aquarium. She is currently owned by Lotteworld Aquarium where she resides but needs a home until the Whale Project Sanctuary in Nova Scotia is completed in later 2026. I also hope that your wonderful aquarium can bring back your own loved belugas Little White and Little Grey. The two belugas were relocated to the Beluga Sanctuary in Iceland. However the sanctuary has run into funding problems. Now the Belugas ave been relocated to a building a half mile away in a 12 x 15 meter pool.
It would be so wonderful if these beluga were returned to your wonderful aquarium! And may serve as a source of pride and good fortune!!
Most humble regards,
