Kenting Aquarium, kenting

Whale, whale, whale, what do we have here?

Just when I thought I'd seen all the surprises Kenting Aquarium had to offer, I walked into this hall and bam—whales and dolphins, suspended mid-air, as if they were auditioning for an aquatic version of Cirque du Soleil. These sculptures are so realistic that I half-expected them to start flipping and splashing around. The red beams and expansive glass windows give the space a modern, almost industrial feel, but it's the marine life hanging above that steals the show. The entire scene feels like a frozen moment in an underwater ballet. It’s as if the architects decided that the best way to showcase these magnificent creatures was to literally elevate them. I couldn’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, these sculptures come to life at night, having their own little parties while the rest of us are none the wiser. And then there are the informational displays lining the walls, almost as an afterthought. 'Oh, you wanted to learn something? Sure, but first, get a load of these flying whales!' The morning light streaming through the windows made everything gleam, adding a touch of magic to the whole setup. I moved on, wondering what else this quirky place had in store for me.
