    Odense Zoo is very well-known in the local area. I strongly recommend that you go there for a trip. You must remember to visit the zoo. It is very unique and you can see many animals that you can't see in China. In addition, the guides are very enthusiastic and detailed in describing the whole situation. I suggest that you should study English well and constantly improve your English skills. If you are good at English, you will be happy when traveling and you can better integrate into the local culture.
