Aside from the famous Hong Kong Disneyland, Hong Kong is also famous for Ocean Park. It is an oceanarium, marine mammal park, animal theme park and an amusement park. It is one of many top destinations in Hong Kong, no wonder why it was awarded as the first Asian winner of Applause Award last 2012. It was my first time to visit the park and surely wouldn’t my last. I will share you more – more reasons to visit this place.

How to go there?

Ocena Park Hong Kong is located at the southern part of the island, just after the Aberdeen tunnel. The best way to go to Ocean Park is to ride MTR and stop at Admiralty Station in Hong Kong Island line (Blue line). Ride a Citybus Route 629 which leaves in Star Ferry Pier and stops at Admiralty then heads straight to Ocean Park.

When I arrived in Ocean Park, I saw an MTR station being constructed and possibly be operating this 2017. Ocean Park Station is really convenient because the station is just in front of the theme park.

Remember to use Octopus Card to pay for the fare and get a small discount. You can also use MTR Travel Pass and get those free rides useful.

Ocean Park Hong Kong

The theme park has two parts: The Waterfront and The Summit. The Summit is located at the top of a mountain where the thrilling rides are located. Oh, you can’t climb your way up to go to The Summit. So here are the modes of exciting transportation that Ocean Park is provided:

Ocean Park Cable Car – It has the most scenic view! The cable card will take you on the steep mountain along the shoreline which can be really scary for people who are scared of heights. But if you’re adventurous like me, you’ll really enjoy this ride.

The Ocean Express Train – It hurls the guests up in The Summit through the mountain. It is air conditioned which playful lights that will take you on an underwater submarine feels.
