The water temperature in the lake is always maintained between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius, and the room temperature is always between 20 and 22 degrees to ensure a living environment for jellyfish. Therefore, the number of guests entering the 3rd floor may be limited to ensure the temperature for the jellyfish.
