My Hong Kong & Macau Trip - Day 2 (Part 1)

5 November, 2007

Today, Shu Yih's aunt spent her morning with us by bringing us to have a breakfast. She is a energetic and talkative person. Never felt bored when she is around. I had a worth-of-money breakfast set with a satay mee, milk tea, 2 pieces of sandwiches, ham and sausage (HKD20 ~ Cheap!). Beside that, we had ordered egg tart and buns.

We decided to eat a lot this morning so that we can save some money to buy food inside Ocean Park later which we thought it will be a lot more expensive, and we were right!

We took bus 629 from Causeway Bay(铜锣湾) straight to Ocean Park. It's took around 30 minutes ride.

Ocean Park 香港海洋公園 is a theme park in the Southern District of Hong Kong Island. The park, ranked 7th in 'The World’s Most Popular Amusement Parks’ by Forbes in June 2006, had 4.38 million visitors in the fiscal year 2005/2006. It covers an area of 870,000 square metres. The different parts of the park are connected by a gondola lift system (or cable car system), as well as the world's second longest outdoor escalatorHere is the theme park. Wanna a roller coaster ride?!This is the world's second longest outdoor escalator.Pacific Pier the home of Califonia sea lions and harbor seals as well as a frolic place. It has said that trainer will introduce their natural behaviors during the feeding sessions. However, the day we went was close for visit. Sad~A amazing bird theatre.The Wiskers theatre presented a drama that reveals a day in the life of sea lions and how they prepare for their show. They are so cute and intelligence!There were a lot of mascots, we only able to catch these two.A view from cable car. We were going to another side of the park.We met with the two famous panda An An, a male, and Jia Jia, a female. They have been kept at Ocean Park, since 1999 when they were bestowed by the Chinese government. After this, we went off by our own. Janice and I went to Aquarium. This is one of the best aquarium. Walking down this 4-level aquarium felt like walking into a deep ocean. It was fascinating with variety of colourful fish and fluoranced Jelly-fish.

We rushed to catch the last Ocean Theatre show at 1700. Luckily we were in time and this was also the place where to meet with other. Their performance really cheer up the evening of tiresome. Bravo!

It almost sunset and is time to leave to park for another destination. I had a wonderful time in Ocean Park. It was like a dream come true as I always dreamed to visit Ocean park since small after watching a HK series. I wonder what will happen to the populararities of this place in the future, as Walt Disney Land is reside on the same land. I believe both have they own uniquely attraction.
Ok, don't think too much. The stomach alarm is rang and it is time for dinner!
