Hong Kong : Ocean Park
We met our cousins at Mcdonalds Admiralty before proceeding to Ocean Park. We purchased the Octopus Card at HK$150 with HK$50 deposit and an initial stored value of HK$100, for kids HK$70 with HK$50 deposit and HK$20 initial stored value. This card is a "must" for tourists and so convenient to use. The value left can be refunded when you left Hong Kong. We refunded it at the Hong Kong airport. We rode the Bus No. 629 at the Admiralty going to Ocean Park.
Entrance Fee to the themed park costs HK$320 for adults and HK$160 for kids. When we got here in 2011 ticket price was HK$250 and HK$150 for kids. Kids under three are free.
Ocean Park is a marine-life theme park featuring animal exhibits, thrill rides and shows. In 2012, its impressive ability to offer guests a world class experience that blends entertainment with education and conservation was confirmed when it became the first Asian winner of the biannual Applause Award, the most prestigious award in the amusement and theme park industry.

The park is located on the southern side of Hong Kong Island, covering more than 870,000 square meters. The Waterfront and the Summit areas are connected by the Cable Car and Ocean Express funicular train.

Aqua City is a world class marine themed area that will redefine your underwater experience. Here you can watch Symbio, a multi-sensory show featuring the world's first 360 degree water screen. You can also embark a journey on exploration into the Grand Aquarium featuring 5000 fish from over 400 species and other aquatic wonders. View them from the world's largest aquarium dome, which has a diameter of 5.5 meters, or through an 8 x 13 meters giant viewing panel. Make sure you drop by Neptune's restaurant for Hong Kong's first aquarium dining experience.
We decided to transfer to the summit using a funicular train instead of the cable car because the line is too long. We transferred using the cable car in returning to lowland (The Waterfront).
It's lunchtime and we have nothing on our bags. The food and drinks at Ocean Park are quite overpriced... but still we bought our lunch at Mcdonalds. The price is almost twice as expensive than the ones in downtown. But we're so hungry so we have no choice...We spent HK$220 for our lunch good for the 6 of us.
