Ocean Park in Hong Kong is considered as one of the best theme parks in the entire world. It might not be correct to call this amazing place merely as a theme park; it is much more than that. It is a marine mammal park, animal theme park and amusement park. Even after Hong Kong got Disney Land as an attraction, this original theme park of Hong Kong never lost its importance. This remains as one of the most visited theme parks across the globe.

The park is covering an area of about 226 acres and is separated into two areas - the Summit and the Waterfront by a large mountain. The tourists can reach from one place to another place either through 1.5 km cable car system or the Ocean Express funicular railway.

Let us try and explore the various sections and attractions of the park.

The Waterfront

The Waterfront plaza is a place where you can find hilarious clowns and lively carnival settings. Old Hong Kong brings back the memory those good old days of Hong Kong (1950s - 70s). Grand Aquarium is a huge aquarium with a lot of water species on display.
