    A worthwhile attraction to visit. Buying tickets through Ctrip is very convenient; no need to collect physical tickets at the gate, just scan the QR code. It's a short walk from the station. Since I went on a weekday, it wasn't crowded. You could easily spend a whole day there eating, drinking, and exploring. The night view is beautiful, but be aware that it's a bit difficult to find restaurants inside the park at night after the lights are turned off. Definitely see the night view before leaving!

    Do you think Kujukushima is composed of 99 islands? I went there and found out that it is not. The name of Kujukushima comes from the fact that in Japanese, "九九" is an imaginary number indicating quantity, which means "a lot". In fact, Kujukushima consists of 208 islands of different sizes. It feels great to take a cruise to visit the scenery of Kujukushima.

    The scenery is very beautiful, similar to Qiandao Lake but different. It is a scenery you can't see in China. I took a lot of beautiful photos. I was so happy! And you can actually climb to the highest point on the boat. The wind is super strong. There is a little excitement in the beauty~ There are no activities on the boat. You can just take pictures of the scenery by yourself. The two boats run once an hour. If you want to experience it, please pay attention to the time! The Japanese service staff are super polite. They greeted and bowed when they got on the boat, and they kept waving on the shore when the boat left the port.

    The Sea Shining Aquarium is located in the Pearl Sea Resort. The Kujukushima Aquarium has a nice name - "Sea Shining" (海きらら), which means like the most dazzling light on the sea. This aquarium reproduces the Kujukushima ocean as it is, and there will be different surprises when you walk through each hall. One of the main features is the approximately 100 species of jellyfish found in the waters of Kujukushima. In the Jellyfish Symphony Hall, melodious music and phantom light are used to show the elegant swimming of jellyfish. The gently flying jellyfish create a dreamy atmosphere, making people feel relaxed all over, just like listening to a symphony. It is a very popular exhibition venue in the aquarium and the largest jellyfish exhibition in Japan.
