As an additional clue the region next door reminds us to spare a thought for the Hippos

Yes - thanks for the clue about "Please think of the Hippos!" - The underwater dome is Perugia Rez Zone,  by Garden Mole.

It is worth visiting... the other statues around it don't really show properly in my photo, but they are fun

Clue: I can never visit this place without remembering the story by Terry Pratchett, as referenced in ispace "The only excitement in Al-Ybi occurred when the greedy Seriph of the city was cursed by a dyslexic diety so that everything he touched turned into "glod". Glod was a blameless dwarf in a far off mountain community who found herself being dragged to Al-Ybi and relentlessly duplicated. Over two thousand Glods later, the curse wore off. To this day, the people of Al-Ybi have a reputation for being both bad-tempered and short in stature."

Spellcheck wants to turn "Glod" into "Good"....

It is in Marmara:

Fun location, lots to see and explore around there.

Whilst we are underwater here I am with my Trident from Marmara, but where am I?

Found it! Frumatay 32,237/2 . Thank you, Adamburp, for the clue about the Easter Egg. Good thing I'm a born Liverpooler.

A pod tour goes through here.

Rufferta, it looks like you spent so long looking for the earlier one you have grown a beard !

I do know this one... as a sailor and cruise maker it is very familiar... but I will refrain from answering at least for a while to give someone else a chance

[Sylvia Tamalyn 16,365]

OK, I know where that one is, though I'm not sure I have a place to contribute! I'll dig in my landmarks...

OK, here we go, I don't think I've seen this one in the thread yet:

That small island between Belli-Fishtown and Pryri ("Moordor").  Slurl forthcoming once I get in SL again.

Correct! Technically known as the Pyri Peaks Funfair Dock. The boat takes you from the island across to the Pyri Funfair, an old haunted amusement park courtesy of the Moles.

And I learned something new:  The ghosts are there year-round (I was there during Halloween).

[Rabid Cheetah 2,796]

Where is this?  If it helps, I used to have a Chinese-themed estate near there.

This is the Pyri Box Office, in Pyri at the end of Route 3A. You can pick up a ticket for the start of your journey to the Pyri FunFair.

This is a Michael Linden build. Until today I hadn't noticed the "Corn Field Prize" beside it.

This is my 'games' alt - Ruffertasalt, who is impatiently waiting to go back to the latest MadPea game.

By the Great Wall of China, though I was one of the last of the folks sticking to a Chinese/Asian theme, and I left a few years ago.  Officially it's the Great Wall of Second Life.  And yep, the Pyri Box office leads to the Pyri FunFair (they're two different regions, not near each other).
