Beijing Aquarium
Located within the Beijing Zoo, the Beijing Aquarium is the
world's largest inland aquarium. It's an absolute must see with
features such as an imaginative Amazon rainforest, complete with
piranhas and pandas, as well as an exquisite shark aquarium where
the very brave can plunge into the tank with these infamous
predators. Families flock to see the dolphin shows at 11am and 3pm
and a boat from the canal south of the aquarium runs to the Summer
Palace, giving visitors the opportunity to sightsee while en route
to the attraction.

Language
The official language is Mandarin Chinese, but there are
hundreds of local dialects.
Money
The currency used in China is the Renminbi Yuan (CNY). The Yuan
is divided into 10 chiao/jiao or 100 fen. Make sure you exchange
your leftover Yuan before returning home because this currency can
be exchanged only within China's borders. Travellers cheques,
preferably in US Dollars, and foreign cash can be exchanged in
cities at the Bank of China. Banks are closed weekends. The larger
hotels and the special 'Friendship Stores' designed for foreigners
will accept most western currencies for purchases. Major credit
cards are accepted in the main cities at various establishments,
but outside the major cities acceptance is limited. ATMs are scarce
outside the main cities.
Opening Times
9am to 5:30pm (October to May); 9am to 6pm (June to
