In this post, we’ll introduce you to Ocean Park Hong Kong, one of the city’s most iconic theme parks since its opening in 1977. Located in Wong Chuk Hang on Hong Kong Island, Ocean Park blends thrilling rides, animal encounters, and scenic views, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists.
Ocean Park Cable Car
One of the most memorable experiences at Ocean Park is the cable car ride, which connects the Waterfront and Summit areas. Spanning approximately 1.5 kilometers, each cabin fits up to six people. While the Ocean Express train also links the two zones, we recommend the cable car for its panoramic views of Wong Chuk Hang and the South China Sea. The ride takes about 10 minutes and offers a peaceful aerial journey.
Thrill Rides at the Summit
The Summit area is packed with adrenaline-pumping attractions. If you’re a thrill-seeker, don’t miss:
- The Dragon – a high-speed roller coaster
- Mine Train – a scenic coaster with sharp turns
- The Flash – a 360-degree spinning swing ride
- The Abyss – a vertical drop tower
- Crazy Galleon – a pirate ship that swings with intensity
For a gentler experience, the Ferris wheel offers relaxing views from the top of the hill.
Dolphin and Sea Lion Show
Ocean Park is also home to captivating animal performances. The dolphin and sea lion show is a highlight, featuring dolphins performing high jumps, synchronized swimming, and playful interactions, while sea lions showcase their talents with ball tricks, clapping, and handshakes.

Giant Pandas at Panda Village
Ocean Park is also home to four giant pandas: An An (male), Jia Jia (female), Le Le (male), and Ying Ying (female). Gifted by mainland China, these pandas reside in the Panda Village, the only place in Hong Kong where you can see pandas up close. It’s a peaceful and educational stop for all ages.
