The Aquarium——皮皮作文网

Last Sunday, the day before Labor Day, we went to HaiChang Polar Aquarium. We left early in the morning. Since the traffic was so horrible, we arrived at lunch time.

 We had a quick snack at the food stand and started “exploring”. See, the Aquariums in China are very different from the ones in America. In America, the whole aquarium is indoors. But in China, it is in outside and the exhibits are separated. We first went to the “Deep Sea Explorer” to see all kinds of fish in the ocean. The exhibit was dark and stuffy. There were all kinds of species of sharks, stingrays, and of course fish . Believe me, the sharks were so scary with their big bloody mouth and humongous tails that look like any moment the shark might thrash the glass open like a piece of paper! The stingrays were pretty graceful swimming up and down, but I thought they were fierce enough to sting your fingers off! The fish were all kinds of colors, but my favorite were the ones of silver that shone in the dark. We went to lots of exhibits like the dolphin Show, and polar animal stage and lots of things, but my own favorite is “The Comic stand” (欢 乐 秀 场) It was basically a polar animals fun show race. The first one on stage was a sea walrus and it showed its silliness and even sprayed water to the host! The next one on stage is twin sea lions. They were so cute with they’re slick brown fur and soft muzzle. They performed underwater tricks, and my favorite trick was when one of the sea lions jumped up on the roof and did a flip when it came down. I took a bunch of pictures and almost clapped my hands off! The total score was 98 to 103 which means the sea lion twins won! What a wonderful race!

It was afternoon and we had to go home. We got a souvenir shark-biting-off-your-head hat. I will never forget this trip to the Polar aquarium because I learned a lot of facts. It is most important to protect these wonderful animals or else they will become extinct!
