It is characterized by emerald green roof tiles and gray-white walls. There is a lookout pavilion outside of the aquarium where we can look out towards Yuanbeiyu. A basalt pathway lies along the seawall and we can walk straight down the pathway to Gangzih to relax in the shade of banyan trees or to Citou Marine Park and Qitou Wharf to have fun in the intertidal zone.
