My Time in Hong Kong: Day Trip to Ocean Park

Today, I skipped my class to hang out with Aaron. We decided to go to Ocean Park for the day. Ocean Park is a theme park on the south end of Hong Kong Island. It just celebrated its 35th anniversary and is a quintessential Hong Kong activity.

Like most theme parks, Ocean Park has a bunch of spinny rides, games and even a couple of roller coasters. The roller coasters don't quite compare to the ones at Six Flags or Cedar Point in US, but that didn't matter to us. We debated going to Disneyland Hong Kong, but chose Ocean Park because it seemed to offer more adult-focused attractions than Disneyland.

Ocean Park also has some uniquely Asian attractions. These include a jellyfish exhibit, a goldfish exhibit and a panda exhibit. We visited all three and the jellyfish exhibit was my favorite. The goldfish exhibit was interesting too. I never knew there was a such a long history of goldfish in China. I've added a few pictures of Ocean Park below.
