Around Manila Bay.




And just when you thought that you've seen everything in Manila and then it springs more surprises.

An afternoon at the Manila Ocean Park watching the Jellies, eating Southeast Asian food, viewing the National Art Gallery at the National Museum, A stroll around Luneta aka Rizal Park and then having some Halo-halo while catching the sunset by Malate Church just off Roxas Blvd.

Manila Ocean Park - One of Asia's Biggest and Best

http://www.manilaoceanpark.com/
Manila Ocean Park

The Philippines' first world-class oceanarium owned by China Oceanis Philippines Inc., a subsidiary of China Oceanis Inc., a Singaporean-registered firm that has operated four oceanariums in China. It is currently under construction behind the historical Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park.

Construction composed of three phases:

First Phase - Oceanarium and is set to open on December 2007. The MOP oceanarium is said to be bigger than Sentosa's Underwater World oceanarium in Singapore in terms of floor area - 8,000 square meters (Sentosa Underwater World has 6,000 square)

Second Phase - includes the marine-themed mall and the hotel, to open next year in 2008.

Third Phase - the open marine habitats which is also set to open in 2008.

Manila Ocean Park is divided into sections:

1. Agos (Flow) - a rainforest motiff complete with 8 tanks of freshwater fishes.

2. Bahura (The Reef) - exihibition of artificial corals in 48 tanks

3. Laot (Fishing Ground) - will feature big fish and Eagle-spotted rays in a long tank.

Main attraction

MOP's main attraction of the oceanarium is a 25-meter long walkway tunnel with 220-degree curved acrylic walls similarly seen in Hong Kong Ocean Park, Singapore's Underwater World in Sentosa and Malaysia's Aquaria. The difference between MOP's is a 220-degree curved tunnel as compared to the standard 180-degree curved tunnels seen in other Asian countries

The oceanarium at Manila Ocean Park will be one of the biggest and most advanced in Asia.
