I have always believed that age is just a number. No matter how wrinkled one's face could get, the inner child is still there, waiting to explore wonders and discover amusing worlds. Even if I am in my late 20's, I could still say that I am a "kid at heart". I enjoy amusement and nature parks a lot. It brings out the kid in me and I could be awestruck as much as a 5-year old kid could be. When I go to new places, I feel invigorated and enthusiastic to venture towards the unknown. Similarly, Hong Kong provides an avenue for young ones and those who were once young.
Going to Disneyland has always been a wish for many children. In Hong Kong, this wish is granted. Situated in Lantau Island, Disneyland provides a world where fairytales become reality and characters come to life. Aside from having fascinating hotels, one could travel through the 4 lands in Disney based on stories of adventure and fantasy, namely the Fantasy land, Main Street, Tomorrow land and Adventure land. As the name implies, Fantasy land is a place where one could meet princesses and castle-characters.
Main Street gives an experience of the 20th Century American town where delights and entertaining programs await the explorer. Tomorrow land, on the other hand, is designed in a futuristic setting where one could ride an indoor roller coaster and meet aliens on the way. The adventure land is full of excitement for the thrill-seeker. It is a voyage in a boat towards a jungle where Tarzan and Simba await the adventurer.
Ocean Park is a world-class aquatic theme park. Located on the south end of Hong Kong, this zone is one of the largest ocean parks in the world with 170-acre land area. A cable car directly connects the two entrances to the park. One would be delighted to know that the park, because of its enormous expanse, has a lot of entertainment, fun and adventures to offer. Basically, Ocean Park does not only hold the oceanarium but also houses the marine mammal park as well as the animal theme park. In addition, attractions include the headland rides where Hong Kong's largest roller coaster, called The Dragon is found. One might also opt to see and visit the rare breed of pandas and the Panda Village. Furthermore, the marine land and the lowland gardens provide not only adventure but also new knowledge to the fun-chasers. Fond of watching shows? Ocean Park is proud to present the Ocean theatre, the Whisker's theatre and the Emperors of the Sky. These shows are world-class productions which leave one becoming more appreciative of the significance of animal life.
These are but 2 out of the many amusement parks in Hong Kong. Indeed, a week-long vacation in Hong Kong may lead a traveller to consider that there are so many places to visit in so little time.
