An unexpected surprise after missing my stop at Jiuguan Park

I took a bus to Jiuguan Park in Jiuguan, but unexpectedly, I missed my stop. It turned out to be the last stop, and I was planning to wait for the bus to start its route again. However, after checking the route, I realized that Jiuguan Park was only a few hundred meters from the terminal station. While I was hesitating, I saw a vast sea of flowers and decisively got off the bus. Then snap, snap, snap, and after that, I discovered the nearby botanical garden. Since I was already there, I decided to take another stroll. I ended up wandering alone for over two hours. It's not my fault; time flew by so fast that I almost forgot about Jiuguan Park... In the botanical garden, I looked for stone carvings of my family name and birth date; the lake water was emerald green with a suspension bridge; there was also a challenge corridor, which children would probably love, and honestly, I liked it too but was too embarrassed to play; there was also a themed zoo, but it charged a fee of 20, and they gave away carrots to feed the animals (although the outdoor animals seemed a bit off, the indoor ones were okay), and so on. Anyway, it felt quite interesting, well, it might also be because I was interested. In the end, I also spent more than 40 minutes in Jiuguan Park. I didn't get to see the ancient Jiuguan, as it was fenced off and under construction, which was a bit disappointing. There is also a zoo inside Jiuguan Park, which is very affordable at 8 for adults and 5 for children, and it seems that most of the animals are rescued. I wanted to go in and take a look, but it was too late, and the staff said they were off work.
