A Visit to Ocean Park - Hong Kong

Ocean Park is interesting, half the park is on one side of the mountain and half is on the other side, a gondola ride gets you from one side of the park to the other. It’s a part amusement park, part zoo, with a little Sea World, and Disneyland all thrown in together. We saw the panda’s first, lazy little critters. Actually we saw the panda’s sleep, except for one that was hiding inside the cave and came out for a brief minute or two then went right back in. But we saw enough to actually say we have seen a panda.


We went across the mountain and found there were escalators to get people around. The park is on a very steep hill. We rode on the Log Ride, and got soaked, which was nice as it kept us cool. We saw the dolphin and seal show, which had an opening act of Mexican Music. How’s that for covering the world?


We visited the frog display, a big aquarium, and then the shark display. They were very good. There are bird shows, and some other shows, but the dolphin and seal show was the best. You get wonderful views of Deep Water Bay on one side and Aberdeen on the other. Fun day out.
