Zhongshan Park's Wooden Sea Fish Viewing, 48 types of exquisite goldfish leisurely playing

"Fortune from All Directions" Fortune Goldfish, "Majestic" Lionhead Goldfish, "Adorable" Pearl Goldfish, "Amusing" Telescope Goldfish... At the "Prosperity and Surplus - 2024 Beijing Goldfish Culture Exhibition" held in Beijing's Zhongshan Park, I personally witnessed the wooden sea fish breeding, with 48 varieties and over 400 exquisite goldfish. They are graceful, colorful, and light as if they were lively elves, weaving through the lotus leaves, creating vivid scenes. The wooden sea is a fish breeding vessel made entirely of solid wood. In folk terms, small basins are called basins, and larger ones are called seas. The wooden sea has good breathability, easily grows moss, and can attach beneficial microorganisms that promote the decomposition and transformation of harmful substances in the water, making it excellent for fish breeding. Beijing is one of the birthplaces of Chinese goldfish, with a long tradition of appreciating and breeding goldfish. Originally the Royal Altar of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Central Park (renamed Zhongshan Park in 1928) is the earliest park in the country to display goldfish. Since 1915, goldfish from the old imperial palace have been moved to public display areas, allowing common people to witness the splendor of these former royal treasures. Wearing a cheongsam to appreciate the national treasure goldfish was a major attraction back then. ⚠️Tips: 1️⃣ The "Prosperity and Surplus Exhibition" lasted until September 5th and has now ended. 2️⃣ There is a year-round goldfish exhibition in Yuyuan, where three antique-style pavilions are connected by 38 half-wall corridors. The corridor walls are fitted with 32 flower window-style goldfish tanks for visitors to admire and evaluate the goldfish. 3️⃣ The "Indoor Aquatic Wildlife Conservation Science Exhibition" will continue until September 17th. 🎫Tickets: 3 yuan 🚗Transportation: Accessible by bus routes 2, 1, 52, 5, and subway line 1.
