"We'd like to introduce the biggest highlight of this renovation: the world's first dual-wheel observation wheel! The observation wheel is divided into the South Wheel and North Wheel, which must be boarded from different directions..."

"The main attractions are probably the fountains and lighting on both sides." Tangze gave the glittering, light-filled aquarium on the screen an objective assessment. "It was designed for a light show, I guess."
To promote the so-called ultimate visitor experience, Tokyo Aquarium had built nearly all of its facilities and passageways indoors and underground, ensuring that no weather would affect visitors' ability to get around or have fun.

"Huh? But isn't the aquarium built by the sea? Couldn't they just use seawater?" Ayumi Yoshida, sitting beside her, asked curiously.
"For such complicated fountain performances, the nozzle designs, equipment, and piping all have very demanding requirements. Seawater is highly corrosive. Rather than spend that much on corrosion-resistant materials, it's better to filter
