Hong Kong Trip : Day 3 - Ocean Park

Another escapade we have done during our HongKong trip is when we went to HONGKONG Ocean Park and until now, it truly amaze me. As i told my friends, for my second visit and if I had a financial restraint and allowing me just to choose between Disneyland and ocean Park, I will gonna choose the latter.

Why? Asan ka pa , in the Ocean Park you can ride back and forth the outdoor escalator system, the second largest in the world and if you want to overcome your Acrophobia (afraid of heights) then have a cable car ride to the headland provides unparalleled panoramic views of the south side of Hong Kong Island's Riviera-like coastline and some of the 260 outlying islands of Hong Kong.



And do you think that's the only transportation you can find inside the Ocean Park, no for you can ride into a sea-themed fast train.....



Just like Disneyland, Ocean Park also has a lot to offer.

1.) Adventure Land where you can find the Mine Train and Raging River ....















2.) Marine World where you can find the Pacific Pier and Ocean Theater.



3.) There are also Rainforest and Thrill Mountain for you to trek, if you love to do with friends, but since it's raining when we came we didn't dare to try for it's slippery and we didn't bring any clothes with us.



4.) Amazing Asian Animals and Whiskers Harbour also where you can find the Old HongKong, Panda Village and Whiskers theater where you will be amaze for the magic tricks shows....



Since as I've said it's raining we haven't finish to stroll all the places we found in the map that's why next time for my HongKong trip I'll revisit both Disney and Ocean Park to explore what they offer....

Again, you won't believe until you see and experience the thrill yourself!

HONGKONG TRAVEL : DISNEYLAND - DAY 2

I am still alive, YES... I maybe lost for almost 5 months due to memory lost of what password I did used for this account. I accidentally tried my luck and it works for one time, I successfully opened the account.... Hmmm.... lucky me, right?

I'll start to the first out of the country vacation I did way back 2009.. heheheh! That was 3 years ago, but I'd still treasured that moment for it was the first trip out the country I had and our first out of the country bonding of my favorite girlfriends. Still, doesn't know if masusundan pa ang happennings na yun...

It was the moments where Wella and I are in good terms, I dont know if she's still consider me as a friend, I'd still doesn't have the nerve to reach out and I hope that on my next vacation I could have the courage to face her since I am missing her company and the rest of the FC's.

I've missed a lot already and I don't want to miss more If I will not do anything on this regard and I hope GOD will have this prayer answered when I get home.

So much of that, as I said this blog should be a diary of all my travel escapades and I hope I could share on this account all of my happenings, so let's start the ball rolling.....

After the night we arrived at Hongkong and the kind of way it's welcoming us, we have a short but a good night sleep to the hostel we booked in. Though, it only took us I guess 4 hours of sleep still our body has been recharge and got ready for our first gala ----- at HONGKONG DISNEYLAND..

Syempre, you don't have to missed the chance of going to that one of the famous landmark when you are in HONGKONG, especially kung yun ang una mong pagtapak sa CITY of Lights. We immediately turned off the alarm and each of us headed for a shower. We had a cup of noodles, our chicken adobo and rice as our breakfast.. syempre no, need namin magtipid. Traveler motto nga namin, pumunta kami sa Hongkong para puntahan ang country's landmark, hindi kumain. That's why we bring cooked foods, bread and cupped noodles.

We decided to ride the bus for what we read over the net is it would be easy for us namatuntun ang papuntang disneyland for the bus will stop to the exact disneyland bus terminal, that will take us to Disneyland exact area. Di namin alam na Train would be the better and more easiest transportation. Kaya, ang ending lumagpas kami napunta ulit kami sa Airport since ang bus nila nagsto-stop lang sa designated bus stop and ang masaklap the next bus stop from the Disneyland Bus stop is yung Airport na bus stop kaya ang layo layo tuloy namin. (Gulo no?)

What we did, sumakay ulit kami ng Bus but this time, kahit bawal I tried myself to be with the driver to make sure that he will never forget us to stopped to the Disneyland Bus terminal. Ganyan ang posisyon ko oh....




Well, bahala na as long as makakarating kami sa pupuntahan namin, actually its been almost 10am, dapat makadating kami sa exact time for us to finish all the shows, for Disneyland will start it's operation at 10am dapat andun na kami as it has a large land area where a lot of activities, and we targeted to watch all the shows at mapuntahan ang dapat mapuntahan.

Dahil sa excitement, namali na naman kami, we thought that the first stop is already the Disneylad na but mali it was a Park prior to the Disneyland Area, pero sabi malapit lapit na naman daw ang disneyland kaya lakad lakad kami... Since were there, we can't help but to take picture since the park is so green and there is a lake on it.

At last when we saw the DISNEYLAND ENtRance Area, can't help but to scream. And it took half an hour just to strike a pose on it's entrance.

See, sino ba namang first timer to let the opportunity pass to take pictures on this lovely place... Entrance palang yan ah!
How much more the shows, the cartoon characters, the parade, the castles and the whole fun that the HONGKONG DISNEYLAND could offer.. Naku babalik ka talaga sa pagiging bata.


1.) Pictures below are taken at the USA MAIN STREET where street seems so busy, as there are parades,bands, balloons and old vehicles are present. The famous shops found in the USA are found in this area.... where at night filled with Disney Characters as they parade on their colorful and extravagant floats....




2.) Next line of pictures taken in a TOMORROW LAND area where you can meet Buzz LightYear, aliens and stitch.... You can also ride the heart stopping SPACE MOUNTAIN (can't forget how my soul separate to my body...) and the long-lined AUTOPIA.....



3.) if you want to feel one of the princesses, then feel the magical land in FANTASY LAND , where you will be amazed by the castles, cartoon characters, and fabulous stage shows.



4.) The last land is where the JUNGLE took place, Adventureland, you'll find the LION KING SHOW, Tarzan's treehouse, and cruising to a river made of rattan.... Experience the Jungle JOurney....



5.) The last part is the much awaited Parade of the Stars and the magical fireworks at Sleeping Beauty's Castle.



The day is exhausting but filled with so much fun, even when we got home still the excitement wasn't over even if we haven't eaten much that day we felt that we're full....

Actually, not until na feel na namin lumapat ang likod namin sa kama, dun na namin na feel na sobrang PAGOD na PAGOD na kami. Can't stand to do some shower kaya itinulog na lang namin.

I am still looking for another HongKong escapades especially in Disneyland since I've visited on their website, they are now offering a lot more.. TOY LAND is open and they've added a lot of shows and attractions... Can't wait for another triple of fun of what HONGKONG DISNEYLAND has to offer....

Ciao!
