Yongchuan Leheledu

Visited Leheledu in Chongqing over the weekend - absolutely amazing! As the largest animal-themed park in Southwest China, it completely redefined my understanding of traditional zoos (I'll share the surprises later~) 🌟🌟🌟Must-try experiences: 1️⃣Animal World Sightseeing Area: Don't forget to buy the sightseeing bus ticket! You'll get up close with lions and tigers roaming right outside your window - heart-pounding excitement Family must-visit "Red Panda Paradise" for feeding interactions "Giraffe Pavilion" is super photogenic - giraffes will stretch their necks to the 2nd floor to greet you 2️⃣Happy World Amusement Zone: Rollercoaster lovers must try "10-Loop Coaster" - the longest in Southwest China "Sky Flyer" offers panoramic views of the entire park (best at dusk) Highly recommend "Giant Pendulum" and "Splash Mountain" - 🍔Dining suggestions: "Beast Restaurant" and "Giraffe Restaurant" inside the park Better to bring snacks - park restaurants are pricey Local Yongchuan specialty restaurants near exit (try Yongchuan spicy rabbit) - 🚗Transport tips: Most convenient by car (1.5hrs from downtown Chongqing) High-speed rail to Yongchuan East Station + 20min taxi Huge parking lot (¥20/day) - ⚠️Pro tips: Bring sunscreen! Limited shade in the park Arrive at 9am opening for popular rides Bring your own carrots for animals (park ones are expensive) Wear comfortable shoes! Expect 20,000+ steps daily
