HK Ocean Park Opens New Coast-like Attraction
Hong Kong's hottest tourist attraction, Ocean Park, Wednesday opened to the public Pacific Pier, a new attraction that recreates the cultural attractions and natural habitat of the California Coast of North America.
Covering more than 4,000 square meters, the attraction has been designed with special features that strive to make the area as close to a natural setting as possible, including waves, rocky shorelines and a beach.
As Ocean Park's first attraction specifically designed on a single theme, "the California Coast," Pacific Pier is now home to 14 sea lions, eight harbor seals and one grey seal.
It also features California-themed exhibits and dining and shopping areas specially-designed to provide visitors with a real- life California experience.
Apart from taking visitors on a real-life journey to the California Coast, Pacific Pier also provides visitors close encounters with animals through shows and exhibits that educate, entertain and communicate with the importance of conservation, said Randolph Guthrie, Chief Executive of Ocean Park.
Opened in January 1977, Ocean Park has over the years built itself into a world-class attraction and ranked among the top 25 theme parks with regards to attendance in the world.
