Ocean Park (Aqua City)

Last week, I went to Ocean Park two times.  The first time was with Dad and the second was with Dad, Mum Grandma and my brother.  We went there because there was a new part near the entrance.  The new part is called Aqua City.  There are a brand new entrance with colourful weird ocean monster  sculptures too.  It’s name is Ocean Square.  The Aqua City Lagoon, Grand Aquarium and Sea Life Carousel are the main attractions in Aqua city. 

The Aqua City Lagoon is actually a big fountain.  Water columns dance to the happy music in the morning and are used to stage the performance about a thrilling story of the Fire Dragon and Water Dragon at night (starts at half past seven)! 

The Grand Aquarium is a huge aquarium.  It is one of the ten largest aquariums in the world!  Inside it are more than 400 kinds and a total of 5000 fish!  There are also a lot of beautiful coral with rainbow-like colours.  To me, the most special fish are the fish whose face can blink like fireflies, the leafy sea dragons which look like a combination of seahorses and seaweeds,  a fish with a horn on its head like a unicorn, the milkfish with shiny body as white as the tasty milk, three octopus (ugly!) and the four Spider Crabs as big as three dogs with ten legs and a pair of small clamps.  All the fish are behind a big, tall and wide plastic screen.  The screen is eight metre high and thirteen metre wide!  And of course, it is the biggest plastic screen in the world!  Near the aquarium exit, there is a restaurant called Neptune’s Restaurant on the second floor.  It looks quite beautiful and cosy.  However, Mum and Grandma said it’s food was tasteless and the price was unreasonable when they had dinner there with my brother at the second time.  Dad and I didn’t eat there because we had to go to a concert in Tsim Sha Tsui.  

The last main attraction is the Sea Life Carousel.  Actually, It is a merry-go-round but there are no horses but just fish on it.  I rode on an octopus with Dad when we played it.  The octopus can turn and almost all the people didn’t know that.  Do you know?  I love playing Sea Life Carousel and merry-go-round very much!

We also went to the Amazing Bird Theatre where the interesting bird performance performs and the adventurous Emerald Trail took place.  The Emerald Trail looks like the Amazon Forest.  There is a bouncy, funny and long hanging bridge made of wood for crossing the small river and there are some tortoise in the Emerald Trail. 

The night on our first visit, Dad and I went to Panda Cafe to have dinner which is beside the Amazing Asian Animals World before watching the performance at Aqua City Lagoon, .  We could eat yummy Asian food there.  My dad ate a plate of rice with two kinds of meat.  I ate a big bowl of Hokkaido noodles with soup.  There were a lot of Japanese food in it.  I thought it was the most delicious food in the whole park.

Now, I really like Ocean Park more than Disney Land because of the fancy Aqua City.  I hope I can visit Ocean Park again soon.
