Hong Kong Ocean Park
Ocean Park, which is situated① on the southern side of Hong Kong Island, is one of the largest marine parks in the world covering more than 870, 000 square metres.
With about 40 years of history, Ocean Park has become one of the major tourist attractions② in Asia. Aside from entertaining③ visitors with thrill rides and a wide variety of④ shows, the park prides itself on its education and conservation programmes.
Ocean Park consists of⑤ two sections, the Headland and the Lowland, which are connected by a 1.5km long cable car (缆车) system which offers wonderful views of the southern side of Hong Kong and the South China Sea. The Headland is known for its many thrill rides including⑥ the Dragon, Eagle, Crazy Galleon, Ferris Wheel, Ocean Park Tower, Flying Swing, Raging River, Space Wheel, and Mine Train.
The Headland also contains the Ocean Theatre, where dolphins and sea lions entertain visitors each day with their lively performances. Providing more enjoyment and education are the world-class Atoll Reef Aquarium (水族馆), the Shark Aquarium and the Pacific Pier.
At the Lowland, visitors can take a ride⑦ on a giant hot air balloon that is 22 metres in diameter which takes them high into the air. Visitors can also see the giant pandas given by the Central Government of China at the Hong Kong Jockey Club Giant Panda Habitat. Other attractions include Amazing Amazon, Amazing Birds Theatre and Kid's World. Located⑧ beside Kid's World is Dolphin University where visitors are able to have a closer look at dolphins and learn more about them.
