Location & Transportation

Wuyi Legend Fantasy Sea Park is nestled in the lush mountains of Wuyishan City, Fujian Province, just a stone’s throw from the iconic King Peak (Dawangfeng). To get here, fly into Fuzhou Changle International Airport or Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport, then hop on a 2-hour bullet train to Wuyishan East Station. From there, a 15-minute taxi ride (or a scenic bus ride) will drop you at 148 North King Peak Road, where the park’s vibrant blue arches welcome you. Bonus: Free parking for road trippers!

Natural Wonders Meet Ocean Magic

While Wuyishan is famous for its red sandstone cliffs and coiled mountain streams, this park brings the ocean to the mountains! Inside, you’ll find giant cylindrical tanks teeming with reef fish, a 180-degree shark tunnel that makes you feel like you’re diving in the Great Barrier Reef, and a 90-degree coral tunnel where clownfish dart around you. Did I mention the polar bear exhibit? It’s like stepping into the Arctic—without leaving subtropical China!

Immersive Exhibits & Shows

The park isn’t just about staring at fish (though there’s plenty of that). At the Whale & Dolphin Theater, trainers perform acrobatic stunts with bottlenose dolphins—think somersaults and “painting” with splashes. The Happy Theater hosts quirky sea-themed skits, while the Marine Science Hall lets kids (and adults!) touch slimy starfish and learn about ocean conservation. Pro tip: Time your visit for the “Feeding Frenzy” sessions—it’s feeding time drama, but in the best way!

Family-Friendly Extras

This isn’t just a “look-but-don’t-touch” kind of place. Kids can crawl through pirate ship playscapes, build sandcastles in the indoor beach zone, or race to spot nemo in the clownfish nursery tank. Parents: There are rocking chairs by the shark tank if you need a break. For food, the ocean-view cafe serves Fujian-style snacks (try the oyster omelette!) and has tables shaped like giant clamshells. Souvenir alert: The gift shop sells plush jellyfish and seashell wind chimes—perfect for forgetful grandparents!

Insider Tips for a Perfect Day

Start at the Polar Aquarium to cool off with penguins, then hit the Shark Tunnel before lunch. Afternoons are prime time for the dolphin show (check schedules online!). If you’re traveling with teens, the VR ocean simulator lets them “dive” without getting wet. End your day on the starlit terrace, where they project constellations onto the ceiling—talk about immersive!

Why It’s Worth the Trip

What makes Wuyi Legend Fantasy Sea Park special? It’s a clash of worlds: mountain scenery meets marine marvels, and ancient tea culture (Wuyishan is also China’s tea-growing heartland!) blends with futuristic aquarium tech. Whether you’re a kid who loves fish or an adult who appreciates architecture (those curved shark tanks are engineering art!), this is one of China’s most unique theme parks. Just don’t blame me if your kids beg to move in—I did the same! 🐠🌊
