On one of the mountains in Hong Kong is ocean park. I was originally not excited about an amusement park but this one had animals and more importantly pandas! PANDAS! 🐼
Pandas are tightly controlled by the Chinese government as to where pandas can be found in the world.
There was an exceptional aquarium. Many of the species you can see everywhere but a few Asian species I haven’t seen.
I went on a water ride and one roller coaster. How’ve I didn’t more time looking at animals.
Red panda.
Pandas.
Otters
Monkeys.
Sturgeon.
Turtles.
Of course I had pictures taken with costumed characters.
To get to the different areas of the park you either take an underground tunnel ride or a cable car ride across.
And I ate Korean barbecued squid which tasted like jerky.
After ocean park the other coach and I went to Victoria Peak to see it at night. What did we learn? At night it will take forever to get the tram back down. When you get a taxi it is impossible to get a good rate as they week refuse to take you. If your want to get down fast then you agree to pay. But overall worth it and beautiful at night.
One other interesting thing I saw on one of the rides to the hotel and my long run the last morning was the Catholic cemetery tucked into the hills and near overpass.
A video of cool goldfish to end this post. Enjoy!
