The pavilion utilizes a state-of-the-art 'life support system' that mimics the natural tidal cycles of the ocean.
The 84-meter-long tunnel is one of the longest moving walkway aquarium tunnels in Asia.
The exhibit features a 'Submarine' section that mimics the descent from the sea surface to the deep seabed.
It houses a specialized 'Coral Nursery' where researchers propagate endangered coral species for restoration projects.
The aquarium uses a massive water filtration system that processes over 1.5 million liters of water to support its reef displays.
The Coral Kingdom Pavilion is a major facility within the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium in Checheng, Taiwan. It features a massive 84-meter-long underwater tunnel that provides visitors with a panoramic view of various reef ecosystems. The pavilion is dedicated to simulating tropical coral reef environments through high-tech water filtration and artificial lighting systems. It showcases a diverse collection of marine life, including groupers, sharks, and various species of rays. The exhibit is structured to guide visitors through different depth zones of the ocean, moving from surface reefs down to the deep sea. An automated feed system supports the complex nutritional needs of the resident marine species. The pavilion serves as an active research and conservation hub for coral propagation. The facility is fully climate-controlled to maintain specific water temperatures required for coral survival. It remains one of the largest aquariums in East Asia, focusing on regional marine biodiversity.
The mid-point of the underwater tunnel, where the curve offers a 360-degree view of sharks and rays overhead.
Visit the underwater tunnel during the middle of a weekday to minimize crowding.
Bring a light sweater as the indoor climate-controlled environment is kept quite cool to maintain water stability.
Do not attempt to touch the glass or tap on the tanks, as this disrupts the biological environment.
Refrain from using flash photography as it startles the marine animals and stresses the coral.
