    Hongshan Zoo: A Healing Journey to Reconcile with Nature In this fast-paced urban life, Hongshan Zoo is like a carefully nurtured oasis, providing a rare haven for weary souls. It's more than just a simple visit; it's a profound dialogue about life, respect, and coexistence, inspiring a deeper reverence and love for nature. Upon entering the park, one is immediately struck by its "human-centered, animal-first" design philosophy. Unlike the fenced layout of traditional zoos, Hongshan Zoo cleverly utilizes the terrain to create a near-natural habitat for the animals. Whether it's the giant pandas leisurely basking in the depths of a dense bamboo forest or the African lions running freely in a simulated grassland environment, every detail reveals a deep concern for animal welfare. This "immersive" viewing experience makes one feel as if they are in a vivid nature documentary, experiencing the most primal charm of life. Particularly noteworthy is Hongshan Zoo's efforts in animal conservation and education. The park features multiple science education exhibition areas, conveying rich ecological knowledge to visitors through illustrated panels, interactive installations, and regular animal behavior explanations. Children can not only observe various rare animals up close but also learn the importance of protecting biodiversity, planting seeds of love for nature in their hearts from a young age. Furthermore, Hongshan Zoo's innovative practices in animal welfare are truly admirable. From providing a wide variety of enrichment toys to implementing scientific feeding and management programs, every detail reflects meticulous consideration of the animals' psychological and physiological needs. Seeing animals that were injured or rescued in the wild regain their health and vitality here evokes a warm feeling, a sense of awe at the tenacity and miracle of life. Of course, the beauty of Hongshan Zoo lies not only in its animals but also in its beautiful natural scenery and humanized service facilities. Strolling along tree-lined paths, breathing in the fresh air, and listening to the distant birdsong provides an unprecedented sense of relaxation. The well-equipped rest areas, clean restrooms, and thoughtful guided tours make the entire visit more comfortable and convenient. What's most moving is that Hongshan Zoo is more than just a place to exhibit animals; it's a platform advocating for harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. Through its actions, it tells us that every life deserves respect, and every piece of nature deserves to be cherished. Here, we not only witness the cuteness and wisdom of animals, but also humanity's responsibility and commitment to nature. In short, Hongshan Zoo is a spiritual cleansing, a healing journey of reconciliation with nature. It allows us to find a moment of tranquility in our busy lives and gives us a deeper understanding and love for the world. If you're also looking for a place where your mind can relax and your horizons can broaden, then Hongshan Zoo is undoubtedly your best choice.

    Some interesting attractions were cancelled, as were the nighttime attractions; the park closes at 5 PM, and this wasn't mentioned when purchasing tickets. The rides are just so-so, typical of all theme parks, nothing special. I won't be coming back.

    Zhongshan Scenic Area combines nature and culture. The Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is solemn and ancient, with lifelike stone statues standing silently along the Sacred Way; the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is magnificent, and climbing to the top offers panoramic views of Nanjing. The Wutong Avenue stretches with lush greenery, and Linggu Temple is serene and tranquil. The misty rain of the Six Dynasties and the turbulent history of the Republic of China intertwine here, making it a must-visit scenic and cultural landscape in Nanjing.

    Winter has already arrived, and visiting Nianhua Bay this time of year exceeded my expectations. I mainly went for the buffet at the grand hotel; the service was excellent, and I also saw a drone show and a fireworks display.

    The teacher's explanation was excellent. I took my child there, and the explanation was very detailed. It had a different focus than the explanations I've had at other museums, and I learned a lot more.

    The most fortunate part of this trip to the Xu Bo Museum was encountering this wonderful guided tour! Professor Bi's profound knowledge brought the weighty history of the Han Dynasty to life, making it vivid and thorough. His explanations of the museum's treasures, such as the jade burial suit and the Han jade ornaments, were particularly impressive, transporting us back to that era. I listened with rapt attention throughout, benefiting immensely. It was definitely the highlight of any museum visit, and I highly recommend it!

    The Chinese-style horror is indeed amazing, but it's more suitable for older children. It's not very friendly to children under 120cm, as there are many height restrictions, which is a bit of a shame. The park is very large, and there are many very friendly NPCs. I'll definitely come back when my child is older.

    The Nanjing Museum effectively functions as the Jiangsu Provincial Museum. It is one of the earliest museums established in China, comprising a history hall, an art hall, a special exhibition hall, a digital hall, a Republican era hall, and an intangible cultural heritage hall. Admission is free and by reservation only; audio guides are available for a fee. The exhibition showcasing the Republican era is quite unique and unlike any other provincial museum I've seen.

    This museum was truly a hidden gem, discovered by chance. While its collection may not be as extensive as the Nanjing Museum's, its exhibition layout and lighting are absolutely stunning! Plus, it was less crowded and quiet, making for a wonderful visitor experience! It's incredibly photogenic, and I'll definitely bring my kids back.

    The main attraction of Yancheng Zoo is the interactive experience. We visited on a weekday, so it wasn't crowded. We started with a drive-through area, feeding the camels, deer, donkeys, and alpacas with carrots we brought. We could buy meat from the zoo for the bears and other large animals. Afterwards, we explored the walking area to see the animals. A five-hour walk was quite enjoyable. I recommend renting a small electric scooter for the walking area; you can try to negotiate the price.
