Sunshine Aquarium such a miracle!

I visited Sunshine Aquarium on a tight schedule, and at first, I had trouble finding the entrance. It’s located inside a large shopping center with many floors, and I was worried I’d miss my ticket time. Thankfully, the staff at the information desk were helpful and guided me to the correct floor and entrance. Once I got inside, I was surprised by how big the aquarium actually is. There are many kinds of fish and sea animals, and the layout is fun to explore. I used a selfie stick to take photos, which made it easier since I didn’t have to ask anyone else. If you have time, I recommend staying for 1 to 2 hours to enjoy everything at a relaxed pace. I only had about 50 minutes, so I rushed through—but it was still a great experience. Don’t forget to check out the rooftop area—it has pelicans, penguins, and what looked like a small whale or similar marine animal, which was a nice surprise. You can buy tickets online (I used Trip.com), or get them on-site. If you visit in the morning or around lunchtime, it’s usually not too crowded because most people are busy at those times. Evening visits might be more packed. This aquarium is a peaceful and beautiful spot, and I definitely recommend it if you enjoy marine life.
