Video: Hong Kong Has A Train That Takes You On An Underwater Journey

Ever wondered what it would be like to take a train ride under the sea? At Ocean Park Hong Kong, you can get a feel for that experience with the Ocean Express, a submarine-themed train that takes visitors through a 1.3-kilometre tunnel.

The ride lasts four minutes, but it turns a regular journey into something more fun. When the train moves between The Waterfront and The Summit, underwater scenes and sea creatures create the feeling of travelling through the ocean in a submarine.
