A new attraction is bringing Ma Wan - a small island in the shadow of the Tsing Ma Bridge - into the spotlight as an educational and fun destination.
Noah's Ark - the Biblical ship on which Noah put all the animals in pairs and rescued them when God flooded the world - opened in May this year and is the centrepiece of Ma Wan Park.
But Hong Kong's ark was not built to save the animals, but to promote 'family, nature and moral values'.
The Ark covers an area of 270,000 sq ft and features sculptures of 76 pairs of animals - among them some of the world's most threatened species - which appear to be walking out of the ark into a garden to greet visitors.
There are five levels inside the Ark, which houses a restaurant, an exhibition hall, an education centre and a museum for children. The top floor has a hotel and a hostel overlooking the sea, while Ark Adventureland outside features ropes and swings.
Most of the main attractions are educational. The 4D Theatre shows the problems and challenges our planet is facing, while St James' Settlement Ark Life Education House is aimed at inspiring visitors to reflect on what is important in life, with the hope of helping them become more positive, optimistic and enthusiastic.
The Treasure House consists of 15 discovery galleries that encourage critical thinking in a liberal studies environment, with fun-filled exhibitions especially designed for children.
