Hong Kong Series| Off We Go to Ocean Park

My first visit in this theme park was last 2003 and I'm so glad to be back here again.  The whole third day was intended for this park.

i'm so much more excited here than disney

From TST, we embarked at Admiralty Station then we went to Exit B to ride the bus for Ocean Park.  Remember the number 629 as this will be the bus number in going to Ocean Park. We also bought our tickets here.  The tickets included the bus ride (to and from) and the park's entrance fee.  Tickets cost HK$280.00 for adults and HK$140.00 for children.  Yes, in HK most of your money will be spent in theme parks' entrance fees aside from shopping.

now we are ready to have fun

there's a TV in the bus, but the featured program is so foreign to us

you need to go up before reaching the entrance

Opening of Disneyland has treaten this park somehow as can be seen from some improvements done here starting on the facade.  Sea creatures sculptures are now all over the entrance.

since this is so big, we need some directions first

Upon entering the park and in going to the cable car, you will pass by some Chinese acrobats performing on one corner.  It was merely an hour show.  The Chinese are really great acrobats and contorsionists. We are all delighted with the show.

We also passed by old Hong Kong section, showcasing the old era of Hong Kong - from buses to movie theaters.

 Now, for one of the main attractions, the one that I'm truly excited for - the Cable Car.  Since OP was built on two mountains, you will need to ride a cable car to reach the other side of this park.  The other side houses the rides and Dolphin show.

The ride lasted for about 30 mins.  We enjoyed the view below.  We didn't even notice that we are at the peak of the mountain. 

Next post are the other attractions of Ocean Park.
