National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium

A public aquarium and marine research museum on the coast below Guishan (龜山) in Checheng, Pingtung, at the northwestern corner of Kenting National Park (墾丁國家公園). It was one of two national marine museums planned in the 1980s, alongside the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology in Keelung, and opened in 2000 with its aquarium run by a private operator, a model Keelung later copied. Its 96 hectare grounds hold three exhibition halls added between 2000 and 2006, the second of which, Coral Kingdom (珊瑚王國館), contains an 82.5 meter undersea tunnel that was once the longest in Asia.
