戀家的候鳥

In the southernmost province of Taiwan lies the Asia's largest museum of marine life. It is my favorite place in the world that I always look forward to visiting every year. This time it is different, however. We are actually sleeping in the aquarium tunnels surrounded by fish and marine mammals. 台灣的最南邊，有個全亞洲最大的海洋生物博物館，那是熱愛海洋生物的我，每年回台灣必去的地方。但這次不同的是，我們竟然在海生館的海底隧道裹和魚兒一起過夜喔！

The aquarium is about two-hour drive. We were scheduled to stay in the "Coral Kingdom" complex which contains three underwater tunnels. The first tunnel is the shortest and can only accommodate a few people. Luckily enough my family was assigned to stay in that tunnel with no one else around. We lay in bed and wrapped ourselves in comforter. We watched mostly stingrays and sharks swim by above us in a 180-degree view angles. Allie and I were too excited to sleep at first until the lights were turned off for the night at eleven pm. 我們往南開了將近兩個小時到達海生館。海生館的「珊瑚王國」裹有三段海底隧道，今晚我們一家四口，選擇單獨在第一段最短的海底隧道裹過夜（其他旅客都在另外兩段）。我們躺在被窩裹，看著魟魚、鯊魚和其他小魚們在我們的頭頂上遊來遊去，我和Allie興奮地睡不著，一直到晚上十一點多才進入夢鄉。

Other than sleeping over at the tunnel, there are several other exclusive activities, such as “peeping” marine nightlife. Not many people have seen how corals and sea anemones look like at night. They look funny! We also fed groupers dinner and watched a terrific feeding show by a diver through a gigantic glass wall. We had an intertidal treasure hunt outside the aquarium on the restricted seashore.  We watched penguins swim and jump up and down in the coldest space of the aquarium. Besides, we had clay DIY. Daddy made a sting ray. Mom made a colorful octopus. Allie and I made some kind fish. At the end of the program we hand touched sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. It was a very special experience! 除此之外，還有其他很多的體驗活動，例如：偷窺海洋生物的夜生活（相信一定很少人看過珊瑚和海癸晚上睡覺是什麼模樣吧！）、參觀海生館後場秘密、餵笨笨的石斑魚吃晚餐、觀賞精彩的大洋池餵食秀、到潮間帶去尋寶、看可愛企鵝的高超泳技、黏土DIY、觸摸海洋生物 …等等，都是非常特別的體驗！
