Noah’s Ark

I came here for the buffet. It was really good. Before I came here I wasn’t expecting too much because it was supposed to be a seafood buffet. And seafood isn’t cheap. But when I came here I was impressed. It must’ve been the lobster night because a lot of the dishes had lobster. They had a really good salad bar with plenty of options. And they also had a really good selection of desserts. One of my favorite dishes was the marinaded lobster. It was bomb. They also had crab, shrimp, oysters, grilled vegetables, Dragon fruit. The Dragon fruit was pretty good. It was nice and sweet. I would definitely come here again.

I would never have come here had my cousins not asked me to go with them. I have always believed that growing up in an international city like Hong Kong is pretty difficult as unlike other countries, we do not have much space for kids to run around, chasing after each other in the woods. Instead, we have kids staying indoor learning piano, violin, etc as young as 5 years old. So I always appreciate outdoor activities for kids and this is one of them — Noah’s Ark.
Opened in 2009, Noah’s Ark is a rather new tourist attraction and it mainly caters for family and kids. How can you call itself Noah’s Ark without the actual full-​size simulation of Noah’s Ark? I was pretty surprised when I first saw it as I thought it would be a much smaller scale but as the park’s centerpiece, it does not disappoint. As an informative and religious place, this place allows visitors to learn about nature, family value and also the harmony. The highlight of this place to me is the «Ark Expo» where you can enjoy multimedia entertainment, for example, you may have a look at the short movie in the «180 degree Theatre» and see how Noah’s ark came to its being. And I really do love the Ark Garden where you can have pictures with the replicas of the animals.
Nevertheless, there are a few things which sort of put me off a bit. First is the religious theme is everywhere. I should not be surprised being coming here but as an atheist, I really do believe they have over-​done it a little bit and you can almost feel that they are shoving those beliefs down your throat; second it the location, it seems like this place is too secluded, being located in Ma Wan, Noah’s Ark is the only thing you can be here and the trip to here takes up most of your day already… regardless, I still love this place for kids to run around.
