　　Noah's Ark Exhibition Hall

　　The Noah's Ark Exhibition Hall at Ma Wan Park was jointly developed and conceptualized by Sun Hung Kai Properties and the Media Evangelism Limited. Modeled after the Noah's Ark described in the Bible and referencing various related religious documents, it is the world's first project to construct a replica of the Ark. The Ark building has five floors, with a multimedia exhibition hall on the ground floor that displays major Biblical stories, including the story of the Great Flood and Noah’s Ark. It also features a Creative Science Education Centre and a cinema. The upper floors house a hostel with 296 beds, as well as facilities such as the headquarters complex of The Boys' Brigade, offices, a training centre, multi-purpose activity rooms, indoor recreational facilities, offices for various Christian groups, campsite accommodation, and a restaurant.

　　The Ark covers an area of 270,000 square feet, and the facilities around the main building include themed exhibits. The restaurant is ocean-themed. The area also features children's playgrounds, an outdoor climbing wall, an open-air theatre, and nature trails.

　　Animal Garden

　　The garden is located near Noah’s Ark and displays statues and information on about 200 species of prehistoric and endangered animals.

　　Nature Park

　　This facility is situated on a hill at the center of the theme park and consists of six themed gardens: the Rattan Fern Garden, Wild Orchid Garden, Azalea Garden, Hong Kong Garden, East Australia Garden, and South America Garden. Each garden has its own theme, highlighted by various tree and flower species, creating a large floral display. Developers expect this park to become a popular photo spot for newlyweds.
