A giant replica of Noah’s Ark opened to the public on Monday in Hong Kong. The ark is world’s only full-scale model and was built following the description written in the Bible, according to the Hong Kong property developer who constructed it.

This city’s three billionaire Kwok brothers have just the answer for the rising waters threatening the global economy: the world’s first life-size replica of Noah’s ark, built to biblical specifications off the coast of this recession-struck Chinese financial center.

The message in its 450-foot-long hull, its rooftop luxury hotel and 67 pairs of fiberglass animals: “The financial tsunami will be over,” says Spencer Lu, the Kwoks’ project director at Noah’s Ark, which is opening soon.

The promoter has yet to come up with a strategy for promoting it to mainland Chinese, many of whom aren’t familiar with the Biblical story of Noah’s Ark.

The company is touting the project as a family-friendly vacation spot, and is framing it as an answer to the economic woes felt around the globe.
