Australian world No.15 Nick Kyrgios made the most of his time in Chengdu by visiting one of its main attractions today - the Cube Oceanarium.
Located just five minutes from the Sichuan International Tennis Centre at The Seaside City Shopping Mall, the Cube Oceanarium is the largest Ocean Viewing Window in the world. It houses over 33,000 ocean creatures across seven themed zones, including the China Zone, the Tropical Sea, the Amazon, the Penguin zone and the Jellyfish zone, which showcase the biggest jellyfish in the world.
“I saw some sharks and stingrays and some jellyfish - those are probably the coolest things around! I spent some time filming some iguanas as well. I like going to aquariums - I’ve been to one in Paris as well but this is nicer. It’s good for me to get out of my hotel room and do stuff like because it’s important to have a good balance,” said the 21-year-old Aussie.
