Hi everyone!<\/p>\n

It’s break week here at PolyU- well, revision week. \u00a0This is the time to finish all the papers, projects and studying after classes end and before exams begin. \u00a0To take full advantage of everything Hong Kong has to offer, this week I took a trip to Ocean Park! \u00a0Known for its conservation and marine work, Ocean Park is both an amusement park and a zoo\/aquarium. \u00a0Since land is scare in Hong Kong, it actually rests partly on top of a hill and around it, so the park is pretty spread out. \u00a0You have to take a cable car or tram to get to the rides!<\/p>\n

Once at the top there are loads of rides and coasters. \u00a0My favorite was the “Hair Raiser.”<\/p>\n

One special feature is the two pandas the park has! \u00a0It was so cool getting to see them.<\/p>\n

After riding all the rides and checking out the panda and goldfish exhibits, we went to the aquarium in the park. \u00a0It was surprisingly big!<\/p>\n

Overall I surprised how much there was to do at Ocean Park. \u00a0We went on a sweltering day (according to the weather app, felt like 89\u00b0) with the sun shining, so lines were pretty short. \u00a0I would definitely recommend sunscreen and walking shoes.<\/p>\n

So that was my Ocean Park experience! \u00a0Hong Kong has so many cool adventures you can easily go on after a quick bus or train ride. \u00a0I’m always impressed by how much you can do just by riding the MTR (Hong Kong’s public transit system)<\/p>\n

Best,<\/p>\n
