Hydropolis
A water-themed science centre built inside a 19th-century underground water reservoir, using interactive exhibits to explain the science of water, ocean exploration and urban water supply.
The science centre is housed in a clean-water reservoir built in 1893, located underground to the southeast of the old town. Beneath the brick vaults are about 70 multimedia exhibits, including replicas of deep-sea submersibles, a whale skeleton, undersea adventures and the history of the city's water systems. Children can operate many of the exhibits themselves. The exhibition covers about 4,000 square metres, so allow around two hours. Admission includes a Chinese audio guide.
