Kalau ke HK tapi tak ke sini macam ada tak kena jer. Nak tahu apa yang ada kat sana..Jom..ikut JM!. Entry ini agak panjang kalau malas nak baca just scroll down dan tengok gambar :-)

Entrance Ocean Park, Hong Kong
Ocean Park is a major attraction in Hong Kong, the luminous pearl of the Orient and world financial center in southeast China. The city's mild climate and coastal scenery, attracts throngs of visitors annually from all over world. Any visit to Hong Kong should include the world famous Ocean Park.

Hong Kong Ocean Park is located on the south end of Hong Kong Island. The larger of two sections is on the headlands of Nam Lang Shan Mountain. The smaller section is in the Wong Chuk Hang Valley lowlands. With an area of 170 acres, it's one of the largest ocean parks in the world. (source from: travelguidechina)

Kalau travel mana-mana tempat pun tak boleh bangun lambat nanti rugi tido awal tak pe. Hari ni kami akan ke Ocean Park dek kerana semalam hujan awal pagi maka agenda ke sana perlu di batalkan. Alhamdulillah nasib kami baik kerana hari ni cuaca amat baik, langit cerah dan sejuk berangin. Wahhh..ini sudah cukup baik..mahu seharian kami di sana nanti.

Hai Panda...tengah buat apa tu...
Untuk pengetahuan semua, sebenarnya Ocean Park terdiri daripada 2 bahagian iaitu kawasan tanah rata yang terdiri daripada Aqua City, Amazing Asian Animals dan Wiskers Harbour. Ketiga-tiga tempat ini amat sesuai untuk kanak-kanak dan amat tidak sesuai untuk kategori dewasa macam kami ni, so tak perlu buang masa jom..kami nak ke kawasan tanah tinggi yang terdapat game yang lebih thrill. Kalau nak ke sana boleh naik Cable Car atau tren tapi kami memilih untuk naik cable car kerana ingin melihat view dari atas.

Amazing Asian Animals - Kami tak ke sini coz tak adventure
Nampak tak..kami akan naik cable car untuk ke bukit kat atas tuuu
Sebelum ke Cable Car Station akan melalui Old Hong Kong.

Akhirnya kami sampai ke puncak di mana terdapat game yang lebih menarik dan adventure, boleh menigkatkan kadar hidranalin korang. Nak tahu senarai game yang boleh membuatkan jantung korang berdegup lebih kencang perlu untuk next entri dalam Ocean Park Part 2. Penat ehhh nak siapkan entri ni...ada sesiapa boleh tolong :-)

Selamat menyambut Syawal yang bakal tiba. Bersambung............
