“A marine park stretched between a waterfront and a wooded summit on the south side of Hong Kong Island. The cable car climbs over Brick Hill while sampans work Aberdeen harbour below. There are giant pandas at the Sichuan Treasures pavilion and a coral reef tank near the lowland gates. Locals come for the day and leave on the MTR after dark. from the studio

Ocean Park Hong Kong, on ceramic.

Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

— about Ocean Park Hong Kong

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Ocean Park occupies roughly 91.5 hectares on the Wong Chuk Hang side of Hong Kong Island, opened on 10 January 1977. The park is split between the lowland Waterfront and the hilltop Summit, joined by a 1.5-kilometre cable car and the Ocean Express funicular. The MTR South Island Line added Ocean Park Station in December 2016, so most visitors now arrive underground from Admiralty in under ten minutes. The site is wrapped on three sides by Aberdeen Country Park and looks down on Deep Water Bay.

— the visit

Standard hours run 10am to 6pm with seasonal extensions for Halloween Fest and the summer programme on the adjoining Tai Shue Wan site. Adult day tickets sit around HK$498 at the gate; the Ocean FasTrack add-on shortens queues at the Hair Raiser steel coaster and the Polar Adventure ride. The giant pandas Ying Ying and Le Le live at Sichuan Treasures, viewable on a slow indoor loop. Strollers and wheelchairs are stocked at the Waterfront entrance.

— the year

The calendar carries three set pieces. Halloween Fest runs through October with haunted houses staged in the Summit's pavilions. Chinese New Year brings lion dances at the Grand Plaza and red lantern walks along the cable-car queue. Summer means Water World, a separate ticketed waterpark that opened in September 2021 across the road on the Tai Shue Wan headland and operates through every season with indoor and outdoor pools. Weekday mornings outside school holidays are the quietest window.

— common questions

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Ocean Park Hong Kong — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

Ocean Park opened on 10 January 1977 as a non-profit marine park. It originally relied on a Hong Kong Jockey Club endowment and now operates under the Ocean Park Corporation, a statutory body of the Hong Kong government.

The MTR South Island Line stops at Ocean Park Station, about seven minutes from Admiralty. Citybus routes 629, 72 and 973 also serve the main gate. Cars enter via Wong Chuk Hang Road on the Waterfront side.

The cable car runs roughly 1.5 kilometres between the Waterfront and the Summit, lifted over Brick Hill at about 200 metres. The one-way ride takes around eight minutes with open sea views toward Lamma Island.

Giant pandas Ying Ying and Le Le live at the Sichuan Treasures exhibit on the Summit. Twin cubs were born to Ying Ying in August 2024 and are gradually being introduced to public viewing windows.

Water World is a separate waterpark across the road on the Tai Shue Wan headland, opened September 2021. It runs through every season with indoor and outdoor pools and is sold on a separate day ticket from the main park.

The park covers about 91.5 hectares between the Waterfront entrance at Wong Chuk Hang and the Summit above Brick Hill. Aberdeen Country Park wraps it on three sides, with Deep Water Bay below the Summit ridge.

— about the piece in your home

It carries warmth for anyone who grew up taking the school field trip up the cable car. Hongkongers tend to read the silhouette before the sign. A Small or Medium with a studio note ships well.

The deep harbour blues and warm ochres of the summit cars sit easily with coastal-modern, jewel-tone maximalist, and Hong Kong mid-century interiors. The piece reads warm against teak, rattan, and pale plaster walls.

The piece anchors a tropical-modern wall without leaning resort-kitsch. The cable-car geometry adds a graphic note that tropical rooms often lack. Pair it with linen upholstery and ceramic in muted earth tones.

A single Large reads well above a console; a 4-tile Mural anchors a standard sofa wall, and a 9-tile Mural carries an open-plan living room. Centre the piece at 145 to 150 cm from the floor.

Yes, with the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both resist scratches and steam and clean with a microfibre cloth. The Glossy finish is reserved for framed wall installations away from direct spray.

A soft microfibre cloth and warm water. The colour lives in the ceramic surface beneath a thin protective finish, so a gentle wipe is all the tile needs. Avoid abrasive pads and ammonia-based sprays.

Yes. Every WenderVista tile is painted in the studio's stained-glass and alcohol-ink visual language by Reid Wender, the curator. No licensing, no stock imagery, no third-party franchises.
