Hongshan Forest Zoo | A Healing Journey into a Fairytale World

🌿【Stepping into the Wizard of Oz】 As soon as you enter the park, you're healed by the greenery all around! Sycamore trees sway gently, squirrels hop from branch to branch, and the air is filled with the scent of fresh grass~ (deep breath.gif) Highly recommend the 【Native Animal Conservation Area】, where red pandas munch on apples with their bottoms up, and raccoon dogs roll around in tree hollows. Who knew these adorable creatures were so cute in real life! 🦝🍎 🐯【Heart-racing Predator Zone】 When riding the tour bus into the 【Tiger Roaring Forest】, three Siberian tigers were walking right next to the glass! Their golden eyes exude maximum intimidation - you can feel the presence of the king of beasts even through the windows. In the adjacent wolf valley, the gray wolves were howling at the moon (not really), they were actually just lazily sunbathing~ 🐺☀️ 🎡【Romantic Sky-high Ferris Wheel】 Now for the main attraction! Head to the 【Eye of the Sky】 Ferris wheel in the evening and enjoy a 42-meter high view overlooking the entire zoo! 🌇 The orange-pink sunset turns the cabins peach-colored - it's absolutely beautiful! 🦒【Bonus Tips】 ✔️ After 4:00 PM, the predator area is less crowded! You can have the entire glass wall to yourself ✔️ The koala house has excellent air conditioning! These tree-hugging experts drool while sleeping ✔️ Choose to ride the Ferris wheel 1 hour before sunset! The cabins are air-conditioned so you won't feel hot 💌 As I was leaving, I noticed a giraffe eating leaves from a tree that cast shadows on my head. Suddenly I understood the saying "zoos are amusement parks built by humans for animals." Next time I'll bring my photography-savvy bestie for a second ride on the Ferris wheel!
