Introduction to Hong Kong Ocean Park

Opened in January of 1977, the Hong Kong Ocean Park located in Wong Chuk Hang of Hong Kong is an ocean-themed comprehensive park embraced by sea on three sides. Occupying some 870,000 ㎡, the park is divided into three parts: the northern mountaintop of Nam Long Shan (known as headland), the southern garden at the mountain foot (known as lowland) and the Tai Shue Wan, with more than 40 amusement facilities. The hill and the garden are connected by cable car in which seascapes of Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay are available and tourists can also come and go between the hill and Tai Shue Wan by mountain lift which is the second longest outdoor escalator in the world so far.
