(Manila, January 2020) In celebration of Ocean Park Hong Kong’s 43rd anniversary, the Park officially launches the “Gala of Lights”, an extraordinary integrated night-time entertainment experience featuring 360-degree water-based multimedia shows and exciting interactive installations never before seen in Hong Kong.
As part of the experience, the Park also unveils themed dining packages and a selection of unique souvenirs inspired by the latest attraction.
The “Gala of Lights” boasts two new immersive multimedia shows created by the award-winning multimedia studio Moment Factory that is staged every night at the Ocean Park Hong Kong from 6:30pm to 10pm.
The night-time extravaganza shimmers at the Park’s iconic The Grand Aquarium and Aqua City Lagoon, which have been modified and refurbished for the grand productions. A newly created semi-submerged stage transforms its venue, the Aqua City Lagoon, from a beautiful water fountain by day into a full show venue with a 360-degree stage that offers unique vantage points to guests by night.
Explore the “Soul of the Ocean”
Guests will be astonished by “Soul of the Ocean”, a one-of-a-kind spectacle tale celebrating nature in all its wonder. The show comprises state-of-the-art projection mapping, original music, and surprising special effects like flaming jets, mist and dancing water fountains, as well as an action-packed performance by 20 artistes on stage that brings together athletic parkour, synchronised dancing and thrilling acrobatics, choreographed by The 7 Fingers.
Be inspired by “Visions of Hong Kong”
Ocean Park Hong Kong also closely collaborated with the Moment Factory to create the evening’s grand finale, “Visions of Hong Kong”, a dazzling multimedia fountain show that takes the audience on an inspirational journey through the city and beyond.
With Hong Kong as its muse, the show travels through dreamy and impressionist landscapes that feature the iconic skyline of Victoria Harbour with all its skyscrapers, the neon lights that sparkle through the streets of Hong Kong from day to night and the natural lush green nature of the surrounding mountains ending with a flourishing wishing tree. The symphony of special effects immerses the audience in the show through the interplay of lasers and flaming jets.
“The launch represents an important milestone of Ocean Park Hong Kong’s transformation into a diversified world-class resort destination. Guests can now extend their stay at the Park from day to night, and indulge in gourmet food and drinks as they take in the breath-taking shows and entertainment,” said Leo Kung, Chairman of Ocean Park Hong Kong.
“With more than two years of preparation, the Park is excited to officially introduce “Gala of Lights”, which will take guests on an all-new oceanic adventure in a totally immersive multi-sensory experience. It is a whole new experience for Hong Kong and its guests and a long-awaited tourism highlight, elevating the Park’s competitiveness,” continued Kung.
Complete the experience with limited time gourmet food and customizable souvenirs
The Park will indulge guests from the eyes to the taste buds with a variety of culinary options, which will be presented together with the amazing shows, including two “Soul of the Ocean” Show Dinner menus – the scrumptious “Heritage and Precious Tasting Menu” designed by internationally acclaimed chef Qu Hao using 200-year-old Japanese soy sauce brand, Hamadaya soy sauce as its key condiments together with ingredients from Kumamoto, while the “Ginger Grill Gala Dinner Set” featuring authentic Thai flavours.
