Jinan Zoo's new top star! A must-see 2-month-old baby elephant, cures all unhappiness!

Finally took my 10-month-old human baby to see the 2-month-old baby elephant! 🐘✨ The baby elephant is really adorable and fluffy. Playfully swinging its trunk and running around. Sometimes snuggling with mom elephant, sometimes exploring the world alone. Mom elephant lovingly guards it the whole time. Isn't this just a true reflection of me and my baby! When I lifted my 10-month-old baby over my head to see the baby elephant, I suddenly felt how wonderful life is. Two little babies looking at each other across the fence, This scene is really heartwarming 💕 As a local of Jinan, I have to recommend this treasure zoo I've been visiting since childhood! Once one of the top ten zoos in the country, Tickets only cost 💰25 yuan (half price for students), But the variety of animals is ridiculously large, definitely seriously underestimated! 📍Super detailed kid-friendly route & highlights (with map ideas): 1. Enter from the North Gate (super convenient parking for self-driving) → first see the veteran seal pool, the seals are chubby and clap their fins. 2. Bird area: Ostriches running are super funny, macaws have bright feathers, the flamingo lake is a must-visit! Pink figures reflected in the water, as beautiful as a painting, I take a hundred photos every time. 3. New Panda Pavilion (key point!): Decorated like a panda kindergarten, super cute, the best environment in the new area. 4. Lion and Tiger Hill: At the back, lions and tigers are still majestic, their roars are very impressive. 5. Deer Garden: A big group of elk and camels, you can see them up close, makes me feel our city's ecological strength is solid! 6. Giraffe Pavilion: Currently only one giraffe, indoors, a bit lonely like "high and cold," hope it gets a companion soon. 7. Monkey Hill: Always full of laughter! Monkeys play, dive, fight for food, full of tricks. My little one watches without blinking, and the older one is also very interested. 8. Red pandas + bears + wolves are nearby, you can visit them all in one go. 📝Helpful little TIPS: · Must-see: The new baby elephant is now the zoo's top star, definitely go see it! · Food: Bought a giant rose-shaped cotton candy for my older kid, she said it's bigger than her head! Holding it, she's the happiest kid on the whole street! · Transportation: In the city, both bus and taxi are convenient, much more time-saving and effortless than going to Zhangqiu Wildlife Park. · Feeling: I really never think it's worse than other city zoos, it's filled with memories of three generations of my family, and now it's filled with the laughter of my two little ones. Yes, every time I bring the kids here, both adults and children are extremely happy. This simple joy is the most precious gift. 🎁
