| Check in at Jinan Wildlife World. Jinan Wildlife World is located in the Bucun Street Office in the southwestern part of Zhangqiu District, Jinan, covering a vast area of about 2200 acres, with a forest coverage rate as high as 92%, offering visitors a rich green ecological experience. The entire park is carefully divided into two major sections, north and south. In the northern area, which we call the walking tour area, a 'thematic' display design is adopted, encompassing a total of 12 distinct thematic areas such as the Birdsong Flower Valley, Elephant Territory, and Tiger Roaring Valley, each filled with surprises and fun. Whether it's admiring rare pandas and leopards or participating in interactive activities at the children's playground, you can immerse yourself in the charm of nature. The southern area, on the other hand, is the drive-through tour area, themed around 'geographical habitats', divided into five distinctive geographical areas such as the African Savannah, Alpine Highlands, and Australian Forests. Visitors can take a tour bus and shuttle between different regions, closely observing more than 4000 rare animals and experiencing the grandeur and mystery of nature. Jinan Wildlife World is not only a tourist attraction but also a comprehensive wildlife kingdom that integrates animal and plant conservation research and science education. Here, you can fully appreciate the magical charm of nature and also deeply understand the importance of protecting wildlife and maintaining ecological balance.

During the Qingming holiday, the fifth annual Circus Carnival at Jinan Wildlife World officially kicked off. I took Da You and Qi Yu's little sister to join the joyous gathering with over thirty performers from various countries. The comical Mr. Clown, the gracefully dancing Ukrainian girl, and the enthusiastic African 'chief' made the atmosphere incredibly joyful! The naming contest for the black-and-white colobus monkey baby was revealed at the event. After more than half a month of selection, from over two hundred names, 'Mo Bao' was chosen. At the event, staff members awarded adoption certificates with love to the visitors who named the monkey❤️ We watched giraffes🦒, elephants🐘, monkeys🐒, and fed chicken to the tigers. Qi Yu saw pandas🐼 for the first time as there are none in Spain, and we also rode the Ferris wheel and bumper cars at the children's amusement park🎠. The kids had so much fun!

After finishing my homework on Sunday, I took a stroll in Jinan Zoo Visit Duration: 3-4h🔋 Location: Jinan Zoo (No. 87 Jimo Road, Tianqiao District) 🚇Transport: Take Metro Line 2 to Jimo Road Station Exit B—take a taxi to the zoo (we took a tricycle outside the subway station, only 10r for two people) ⏰Opening Hours: Spring and Winter 8:30——17:00 Summer and Autumn 8:30——17:30 💰Ticket Price: 25r for adults, half price for students (remember to bring your student ID) 🫕Food: Passed by Jinan North Railway Station on the way, went straight down to k88 mall and had rice mixed with vegetables at Micun, originally wanted to eat at Domino's, but it was too crowded so we gave up 🐼Panda Pavilion I suggest entering from the south gate, which is closer to the panda pavilion The panda pavilion is newly built, the inside sells cultural and creative products, no pandas inside, the pandas are outside, there are two in total, named Hua Ao and Ya Ji (Everyone must choose a good time to visit, we went at noon today, the pandas were napping hahaha, but their backsides were still super cute) 🦚Peacock Pavilion All the peacocks are in this pavilion, I don't know if it's because of spring, but all the peacocks were displaying their feathers, my friend and I spent quite a while figuring out who was displaying to whom, just standing there watching for over ten minutes🥹 The entire zoo is very large, and there is also a matching amusement park inside, on weekends it's mostly children playing, the rest are college students hh, especially suitable for relaxing when there are no classes After leaving the zoo, I found that next door is the largest clothing wholesale city in Shandong (Luokou Clothing City), really nice to shop around... seriously... I saw a lot of camisole dresses that I liked, but I feel that since it's mostly wholesale, buying just one might not be particularly cost-effective, but it's worth a visit after the zoo if you have time

The cute little animals have another wave. There are more than 3,000 small animals in the entire Jinan Wildlife Park. [Happy] We are all very happy, let alone the children! It is observed that the girl's courage is obviously bigger than the little boy~ This is a cute little squirrel monkey who is going to jump up and down, and the long-tailed lemur that is warming up. The campsite cabin is about to open. The family cabin is only 500. One more night, but just built it soon, so I recommend the children to live in the glass room first [applause]

The second time I came to Jinan Wildlife Park, I found that people on weekends are more interesting. I used to go abroad and felt that there were many opportunities for zoo people and small animals to get in touch with each other. Now I know that I have Jinan! Kangaroo, alpaca, parrot, elephant, squirrel monkey and long-tailed lemur can be fed in person!

Jinan, which is on the verge of Zhongchun, is probably the most vibrant moment of the year. The new green sprouts that just emerged, the colorful flowers blooming all over the streets and all the way through the carved windows, swaying into the skylights in the house, and waking up from the cold winter days to enjoy the various kinds of creatures of the spring breeze, Tiangao The water is wide and the spring is like a brocade. In this spring day, going to the animal world and the small animals for a close encounter, probably worth not disappointing this great spring.
