Travelogue XXXIV: HONG KONG Day 1 - City Tour

June 10, 2008

As I mentioned in  my first HK post, we arrived in HK at around 2pm. We got so excited that we took time to explore a bit of the vicinity and eat at this crowded little food place near our hotel that we didn’t notice the time. We changed clothes and immediately headed to their famous Ocean Park. Too bad it was already 4pm by then and the park closes at 6pm. And at that time, the cable car that will bring us from lowland to highland is already closed. Tsk, tsk. It simply wasn’t meant to be. I’d gladly do it another day but since our itinerary was already booked with other sites to visit and other things to do, we decided that we’ll just do it again another time. Perhaps, later this year? *Think postive!*  

 

 Hong Kong Ocean Park is located on the south end of Hong Kong Island. The larger of two sections is on the headlands of Mount Nanlang. The smaller section is in the Huang Zhu Keng Valley lowlands. With an area of 170 miles, it’s one of the largest ocean parks in the world. The two entrances to Ocean Park (Tai Shue Wan Entrance and Main Entrance) are connected by cable-car.
