You can bring the packets of fish food to the outdoor ponds to feed the fish. Merely the act of stretching your hands out over the water brings the fish swimming to your location.

For $4 per child, little ones can get a net and a bucket to scoop out tiny fish from a little manmade stream built between the ponds. They get to bring home the fish at the end of the longkang fishing activity.

 

Mainland Tropical Fish Farm also has an outdoor event space for rent. The farm will provide the event space with tables and chairs and you can cater your own food if required. Activities, such as longkang fishing, are on top of the space rental rate.
