The Ark is on a 270,000-square-foot site on Ma Wan Island overlooking the Rambler Channel and Tsing Ma Bridge. The path leading to the Ark will be lined by 67 pairs of sculptures of endangered or rare wild animals to teach visitors about their characteristics. The sculptures, waterfalls and ponds in the garden surrounding the Ark are supposed to remind you to love animals and treasure the environment.There are five levels each with a different theme, including Ark Expo, Treasure House, Ark Life Education House and a seaside restaurant.
The top floor is Noah's Resort. The hotel offers double / twin rooms and hostel dorms with their own bathroom for groups of four to eight people. This is actually one of the best hostels or Guesthouses in Hong Kong if you aren't bothered about bad transport. Staying in the Noah's Hotel, you'll be able to experience life on the Ark enjoying sunshine and greenery in Ma Wan Park and see the historic Ma Wan village. Fancy sipping Coffee on the coffee lounge?
