History and structure

Tri Nguyen aquarium was built in 1971 by a nice fisherman who is always proud of the natural beauty of his homeland. At that time, he used his own money to hire local people to block the sea and build a dam for a large lake 160m in length and 130m wide. In 1997, Khanh Hoa Travel Company invested more than VND 10 billion to improve the quality and capacity of the construction.
An unique point of Tri Nguyen aquarium is it was built based on the model of an ancient fossil ship 60m long and high 30m. Tri Nguyen aquarium was divided into three main parts. Firstly, the large lake is the living place of marine creatures and it was surrounded by stones carefully to ensure suitable sea conditions for animals. The second part is used for souvenir shops; and the thirst part includes restaurants.
