The Legend of Giant Whales: Magnificent and Unbelievably Beautiful!
Lately, my life feels surrounded by 'The Legend of Giant Whales' – news about it is everywhere...
Just how legendary is it? Let me take my little flower and find out!
It caused a sensation in the domestic science communication circle right from its opening, and even had CCTV, Tomato TV, and Mango TV vying to report on it.
Despite being during the pandemic, the crowd never stopped flowing – big names in the field, influential bloggers, celebrities, and leaders all gathered.
Such a legendary exhibition, and I hadn't yet visited – I couldn't allow myself to make such a low-level mistake!
Search for where it is? It turns out it's in Dalian Jinshitan – perfect, a single metro card can get me there!
Take the light rail to Jinshitan terminal station, and a 5-minute walk brings you to the destination! The lush greenery along the way made my happiness level skyrocket!
There's a trick to buying tickets – you must do your homework in advance and check multiple sources! The regular ticket price is 60 yuan.
If you buy tickets one day in advance, on the Life Mystery Museum mini-program, you can order tomorrow's ticket for 49 yuan – saving 11 yuan!
On Ctrip, you can order tomorrow's ticket for 49 yuan, and with a citizen's coupon it becomes 29 yuan – saving 31 yuan!
The moment I entered, I was deeply drawn by the nearly 25-meter whale family portrait corridor – you can find every whale species in the world here, one by one.
The whale family portrait corridor, made at a 1:6 ratio to real whales, is a must-visit photo spot you can't miss. Sina big Vs have already come to check in – no matter how you take photos, you'll be the best protagonist in the whale wonder world, absolutely blowing up your Moments!
Free scheduled guided tours every day – check √
The exhibition offers free scheduled guided tours every day – note that they're free! The guide小姐姐 was really nice, with humorous and interesting explanations – full marks! And each exhibition area thoughtfully has a QR code for the official account, truly achieving 'scan wherever you don't understand' – another full mark!
By the way, I heard that this Saturday there will be a lecture by Professor Sui Hongjin, founder of the Life Mystery Museum – if interested, you can add the Life Mystery assistant for consultation~
I heard this fin whale has a lovely name, 'Haihai' – it is the world's first plastinated large marine mammal, and also the world's first fin whale plastinated specimen to show internal structure. Wow, this specimen is surely a world first~
The whale shark is the largest of all fish – the guide小姐姐 said it has over 300 rows of teeth~ But so what? It still eats small fish and shrimp like the whale shark, filtering its food.
Transparent slicing technique, a full-body CT of a dolphin – it's my first time seeing this, truly eye-opening!
The finless porpoise is not only a 'weather forecast expert' but also a 'giant panda of the water'~
A pregnant finless porpoise is so amazing – it felt like seeing what I looked like in my mother's womb. All animals in the world are equal, and every life has value.
Whales live in the ocean, and some live in freshwater – freshwater whales include the black dolphin and the white dolphin – haha, they're clearly named by skin color.
This baiji belongs to the white dolphins – it's an honor to see one, because it is functionally extinct, truly precious.
Actually, I've never spent long observing nostrils, but I became fascinated looking at whale nostrils – I'm a bit embarrassed.
Toothed whales have one nostril, baleen whales have two – that really blew my mind~
This question stumped me – after all, for a foodie, as long as I can eat it, the result matters more than the process! Everyone can guess too~
Personally, I really like digging earwax – it's like searching for treasure, the more I dig the happier I get. Seeing whale earwax thrilled me – it's a huge plug, I feel so rich!
The center stage of the whole exhibition is the 'Whale Wonder Journey' area! The 14.88-meter-long, 40-ton sperm whale 'Yangyang' finally met me~
On the wall of Whale Wonder Journey, every time point and behind-the-scenes story is noted, and numbers witness the miracle.
It's not just the Whale Wonder Journey – actually, every exhibit here has a story behind it, which you need to discover in person.
Legends need commemoration – the giant whale merchandise is truly love at first sight.
The obverse of the Giant Whale Legend commemorative coin features the Life Mystery Museum's philosophy: harmony between humans and nature.
The other side has an overall shape resembling the Taiji – the universe from Wuji to Taiji, all things transform and are born. Amazing!
The sperm whale refrigerator magnet, an original design, shows the sperm whale skeleton against a blue background, containing the mystery of whales.
'Fish Life After' – I fell in love with this transparent fish – I really want to buy them all, pack them up and take them away!
Do whales need to call cattle 'uncle'? Whales, like cattle, have four stomachs, and their kidneys are somewhat similar~
I always thought a 'whale fall' meant a whale simply fell down, but that's not it! The guide小姐姐 said a whale fall is the unique ecosystem created during the process of a whale falling.
Oh, and I must say – every exhibit you see here is made using biological plastination technology, and they are all real!
Just like the sign says, 'both salty and sweet' – after finishing the exhibition, I rewarded myself with a sea salt ice cream.
Close your eyes – this vast ocean is yours!
After visiting the exhibition, you can find answers to all these questions!
Nearly a hundred marine animal exhibits, a nearly 25-meter whale family photo corridor, love-at-first-sight cultural and creative souvenirs, the 'Whale Wonder Market' full of goodies... In short, just come!
