Untuk pengetahuan semua, sebenarnya Ocean Park terdiri daripada 2 bahagian iaitu kawasan tanah rata yang terdiri daripada Aqua City, Amazing Asian Animals dan Wiskers Harbour. Ketiga-tiga tempat ini amat sesuai untuk kanak-kanak dan amat tidak sesuai untuk kategori dewasa macam kami ni, so tak perlu buang masa jom..kami nak ke kawasan tanah tinggi yang terdapat game yang lebih thrill. Kalau nak ke sana boleh naik Cable Car atau tren tapi kami memilih untuk naik cable car kerana ingin melihat view dari atas.

Sebelum ke Cable Car Station akan melalui Old Hong Kong.
