Ocean Park (Oceanarium)
|
|
Ocean Park, the largest "oceanarium" in Asia, lies on the Shum Shui peninsula, west of Deep Water Bay and east of Aberdee. Covering 86 hectares/212 acres, the park is on two levels, linked by a cableway 1.4km/1500yds long and a long escalator. On the lower level are a park, a play area, water gardens, plants from all over the world, exotic birds and animals from many countries. Here, too, there are various cultural events and other attractions.
From the lower level it is a ten-minute trip by cable car - with fine views of the South China Sea and the numerous offshore islands - to the upper level, with the Ocean Theatre, where dolphins, a killer whale and sea-lions are put through their paces before anything up to 4000 spectators. To the left of this is Wave Cove, an artificially constructed rocky creek with machine-generated waves which provides a natural setting for seals and sea-lions, penguins and dolphins.
