The Waterfront of Ocean Park Hong Kong

Ocean Park Hong Kong is situated in Wong Chuk Hang and Nam Long Shan in the Southern District of Hong Kong. It is a good theme park with selection of rides for everyone. Very clean and well kept with lovely flowers everywhere. Its really important to choose your day for going and if it's possible avoid weekends and all public holidays as its just too crowded to enjoy. Also there is a show at the end of the day that is worth staying for.

Covering an area of 870,000 square metres (210 acres) of land, the park is separated by a large mountain into two areas, The Summit (Headland) and The Waterfront (Lowland) respectively.  The headland can be reached by a 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) cable car system, a shuttle bus, or the Ocean Express funicular railway. As the Headland comprises several hills, visitors can also opt to take the world's second longest outdoor escalator.
