Cung Điện Hải Vương, or the Neptune Palace, is a massive sea-turtle-shaped aquarium located within the VinWonders Phú Quốc theme park. It ranks among the top five largest aquariums in the world by water volume. The facility houses over 255,000 marine specimens representing hundreds of unique species across diverse oceanic habitats. A primary architectural feature is the 180-degree curved acrylic tunnel providing unobstructed views of the shark and ray tanks. The interior is divided into distinct zones, including the 'Magical Jellyfish' exhibit and the 'Ocean of Sharks'. It functions as both an entertainment venue and a conservation center for endangered sea life. The building's exterior design is modeled after a giant sea turtle resting on the beach, serving as the visual anchor for the park.
