A new attraction has opened in Hong Kong

Visitors can experience marine life and aquariums at Ocean Park, which has been extended.

Visitors to Hong Kong can get up close and personal with marine life at the Ocean Park aquarium, which has recently celebrated the opening of a new area.

Aqua City boasts attractions focusing on the conservation of the world's water creatures, while interactive activities and shops are available for tourists to enjoy.

The honourable Donald Tsang, chief executive of the Hong Kong special administrative region, was present at the launch of the venue and said: "The new Aqua City ... showcases rare fish and marine creatures in one of Asia's largest aquariums."

He said the technology and facilities have been upgraded to a high standard and will continue to be improved for the families and children that plan to visit time and again.

Educational programmes have been set up to engage students and schoolchildren who attend, while the facility itself boasts classrooms - one with a private touch pool - with interactive displays and audio equipment that can be used during lessons.

Holiday insurance policyholders arriving in Hong Kong might want to make time in their itinerary to explore Ocean Park, as it also plays host to restaurants - one of which has a panoramic view of one of the aquarium's tanks - as well as shops with products including jewellery, gifts and souvenirs.

During February, visitors to Hong Kong can take part in the Chinese New Year celebrations that will take place until March 6th in the city's Piazza in Tsim Sha Tsui.

A lantern exhibition will be on display to depict the ways in which the new year is welcomed in different countries in Asia.
