On the morning of October 1^st, a special National Day-themed mermaid show titled "Chinese Opera Under the Sea " was held at the Grandview Aquarium . In the massive underwater tank, an eastern mermaid dressed in traditional Chinese red performed gracefully, wielding a Chinese opera spear while dancing to captivating Chinese-style music beneath the waves.

Soon after, a Sichuan opera face-changing artist, dressed in black opera attire, took the center stage. With swift movements, he transitioned from a "fierce black face" to a "cheerful red face" in mere seconds, astonishing the audience by switching between eight different masks within minutes, prompting applause and amazement.

According to the Aquarium, in celebration of National Day and to extend best wishes to the nation, it also organized a unique flag-raising ceremony titled "Underwater Red Star Celebrates the National Day" Three divers descended into the water to unfurl a nine-meter-long China's national flag in the tank. In front of the flag, five mermaids gracefully formed a yellow "five-pointed star", creating a striking image with the vibrant red backdrop.

Visitors eagerly waved their small national flags in response, fully immersed in the distinctive atmosphere of this special holiday event.

"This is my first time witnessing a flag-raising ceremony underwater. It's refreshing and incredibly creative. My whole family loved it!" said Mr. Li, a visitor.

打卡广州，看一场精彩绝伦的水下国潮演出

10月1日上午，正佳极地海洋世界举行了一场别具新意的国庆限定美人鱼演出——《海底中国戏》。只见在硕大的海底展缸里，东方美人鱼身穿中国红的国潮演出服，手拿戏曲花枪，伴随动人心魄的国风音乐，在水下翩翩起舞。

不一会儿，身着黑色戏服的川剧变脸表演者来到展缸中间位置，开始表演起拿手绝活“川剧变脸”。只见他上一秒是“黑面怒脸”，下一秒却又成为“喜笑颜开”的红脸形象，几分钟换了8次不同的脸谱，一度引得观众惊叹拍手。

记者从景区了解到，为献礼国庆，祝福祖国，正佳极地海洋世界还为前来过节的游客准备了国庆限定活动《海底红星贺华诞》升国旗仪式。由3名潜水员潜入水下，将9米长的五星红旗在海底展缸徐徐展开，5条“美人鱼”在红旗前方缓缓组成黄色的“五角星”，配上国旗鲜红色的背景，格外显眼。

只见游客纷纷举起手里的小红旗，观礼这份独特的国庆仪式感，感受不一样的节日氛围。

“这是我第一次看海底升国旗，很新鲜，别出心裁，我们一家都非常喜欢！”游客李先生说道。
