Chinese Building Billionaires Create Huge Noah's Ark Attraction

Filed under: Wealth

Evangelical Chinese billionaires have created the world's first biblically proportioned Noah's Ark which opened this week in Hong Kong. The Noah's Ark at Ma Wan Park in Hong Kong is a tourist attraction built by the Kwok brothers, who are behind Hong Kong's largest real estate developer Sun Hung Kai Properties. The 450-foot-long ark and luxury hotel has 67 pairs of fiberglass animals. According to the Christian Post, Thomas Kwok, an evangelical Christian, was the main driver behind the project which has been in discussion for 17 years. Although the ark is inspired by his Christian faith the emphasis is on family values and the attraction won't be promoted as being overtly religious.

There are five levels with different themes and the ark offers a sea-front restaurant, the Ark Expo and Noah's Hall as well as many more exhibits with the top floor given over to Noah's Resort. The grounds include the Ark Garden, Noah's Adventureland, Noah's Stadium and Fun Fun Track.
