    "The oversized Chimelong Zoo, I can’t finish it after walking all day. Fortunately, I bought the Chimelong Hotel room package in the scenic spot. I can enter the play many times. There are many animals and the number is also super, and the variety is super. There are many national treasure-level animals. There are also other countries in our country, such as koalas, Malay, Brazilian, etc. There are a lot of street performances in the park, especially the big cruise at 17:00 pm. It is very large and many actors from various countries. The performance and interaction with tourists are very good. I am very happy! Tired of walking, there are a lot of food and drinks in the park, the taste is superb, I have been happy for 2 days and I am full of happiness, and I will come again next time!"

    "I used to go to the zoo, I always felt that the animals were very cute, but it was really stinky. Today, I went to the zoo and it was cute. I felt that when I was a child, I came back and once rode on my grandfather's shoulder to see the animals. It was the most pleasant thing. I used to be a teenager on my shoulder. It has also become a weight-bearing middle-aged person who used to be so carefree childhood. Now it has been a long time to reminisce and it has been many years. The longer I have not been to the zoo to play, the less I seem to please myself, and the shorter the rest time for recreational entertainment. Hectic for work and life, there is no little personal space for himself, and no time to cultivate his hobbies and interests."
