Blue Zoo

Technology

Blue Zoo Beijing's aquarium is a world-class complex featuring the latest in aquarium technology. To do this, Blue Zoo Beijing employs such leading edge technology as:

A 110 metre long transparent underwater acrylic tunnel. The longest underwater tunnel in Asia, it runs through the main tank, allowing visitors to view the underwater world as if through the eyes of a diver. There is also a moving walkway within the tunnel itself.
An innovative system to artificially produce salt water in which the thousands of marine creatures can thrive. For this, water is drawn from the Beijing city water supply, which is then purified even more before salt is added in a special mixing chamber.
An advanced life-support system incorporates equipment to keep the main tank water at a constant temperature to ensure the tropical fish species remain healthy. Coupled with this is a complex water filtration and purification system designed to ensure the water in the 3.5 million litre tank is the cleanest, purest salt water available in any aquarium in the world.
