Hong Kong Ocean Park







Located in Aberdeen, Hong Kong ocean park is one of Hong Kong's top tourist destination. From Hong Kong Disneyland resort, we took the train going to Mong Kok from where we rode the double decker bus and had a bonus view of Hong Kong.








The park is home to hundreds of Marine animals and their aquarium is truly spectacular. We were lucky to get the chance to do plenty of things in the park itself, we saw sharks, housed in an aquarium, lots of them in fact, fishes so big I could only dream of catching such a size one day. We had our first encounter with the dolphins and I could only wish we had the chance to get a little bit closer. The rides looks nice but after the jumeirah sceirah in Wild Wadi experience, am not sure am still willing to try any thrilling rides.








There are several restaurants in the park but we settled at the Bay view where we get the chance to enjoy our meal overlooking the sea and the view of Hong Kong and other islands. Place wasn't good although the food can use an added touch, or taste perhaps.








We ended our trip with a ride in the cable car, kind of fun and thankfully not as scary as I thought it would be. We were intending to see the giant pandas in their habitat but we weren't that lucky. We were so exhausted after the entire day's trip we just wanted to go back to the hotel for a much needed snooze.
