Hong Kong Sightseeing - Ocean Park

ah, here I am in Hong Kong..

In this photo, if you look beyond, just before the mountains,
you can see skyscrapers, LOADS of them, like mushroom sprouting after the rain.
In fact, even more than mushrooms!

I managed to visit Ocean Park, one of the main attractions in Hong Kong.
It has an underwater world, Dolphin Shows, Seal Shows, a Theme Park, Cable Car Rides and much more to offer.



Ocean Park consist of two portions. These two portions are only linked by cable cars. As I sat in the cable car, I could enjoy the breathtaking view of almost the whole of Hong Kong. I could see all the skyscrapers, the harbour, the sea. Plus, enjoy the cool breeze too.

and when I say breezy. I mean really breezy!

They have hot air balloons too! I mean.. unmovable hot air balloons.



When I was in Ocean Park, there was a heavy rain pour.
So, all shows and all theme park rides were practically stopped.
Due to that, I didn't watch a single show and could only take photos with animal statues.


They may not have zebras at Ocean Park, but I couldn't help but to take photos with these two adorable zebra statues siting side by side on one of the benches.
I named them Zebra (with bow) and Zebre (with tie)!


No dolphin shows?
There's always that fantastic painting of dolphins formed using tiny little coloured tiles!
It's a masterpiece!

They've got dancing Pandas too!


and.. here comes my favorite!

Here comes my favourite at Ocean Park! The Sea Jelly Spectacular!
After seeing all these jellyfish under coloured lights, they have topped my favourites list.
Jellyfish are such delicate creatures, that swims gracefully regardless of its body's position.
They swim side ways, upwards, even upside down! The way they move is also so adorable. However, their little tentacles may not be too adorable anymore, if you are stung!

There's even a Japanese Garden in Hong Kong, complete with a Koi Pond.
(My lousy but thoughtful photographer even included the "Caution, Deep Water" warning signboard in the photo!)

The Atom Reef is an underwater world.
I saw huge sharks and really huge, I mean.. really huge sting rays to little fishies above.

The huge stingray I mentioned about..

I also tried my hands on Bungee Trampoline.
Jumping upwards was like stepping into really soft pile of cotton and coming downwards was the part where there's a tingling sensation in the tummy. It looks more fun than it actually is but the two-minutes experience however, kept me talking about it for the next couple of minutes.


Most of the theme park rides were closed due to the heavy rain but I did manage to sit on one. Its called the Space Wheel, whereby the passengers are spun horizontally to vertically at a 90 degree turn. I felt dizzy for the next 15 minutes, but it was really fun!



Due to the continuation of the rain for the next few days.. it's byebye to Disneyland, and welcome home.
