Noah's Ark
Based on the legend of Noah's Ark described in the Bible's Book of Genesis, the Noah's Ark at Ma Wan Park in Hong Kong is an actual size construction according to the record, which means it is the only full size replica in the world. The Ark is sitting on the waterfront where there is a perfect view to see Ma Wan Bay and Tsing Ma Bridge.
The distinctive Ark is over 100 meters (about 109 yards) long, about 23 meters (around 25 yards) wide and 14 meters (about 15 yards) high. A Hong Kong Archaeologist declared that there was human site in Ma Wan, so it was decided to settle down Noah' Ark here, resembling the genesis of Hong Kong. This is a wonderful destination in Hong Kong, especial for families. It combines entertainment and education.
