For every provincial capital city, a zoo is indispensable. Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo is a zoo with beautiful lakes and mountains. When I walked into the zoo, I first came to the sign. Wow! There are so many animal pavilions that it is dazzling and overwhelming: to the left is the panda pavilion, to the right is the orangutan pavilion, and to the front is the monkey pavilion... We first came to the panda pavilion, and saw a cute giant panda lying on a bamboo chair and eating bamboo with relish. It was really comfortable. Another giant panda was lying on the ground and sleeping, completely ignoring the adults' flash lights and the children's cheers. It was probably used to this scene. Then, we came to the monkey pavilion. The lively little monkeys were more excited to see the tourists and jumped around. There was a cage containing a golden monkey, a national first-class protected animal. It has thick hair all over its body, brown and yellow, which makes people feel particularly fat and cute. People can't help but want to hug it. In the sun, the whole body seems to be coated with a layer of gold, making it look so noble and elegant. After reluctantly bidding farewell to the monkeys, we came to the giraffe pavilion. It is said that giraffes can reach more than 5 meters in height, but at this time the giraffe was taking a lunch break and lying motionless on the ground, like a stone sculpture. We continued to follow the signs and unknowingly came to the elephant pavilion. I saw the elephant eating grass with its trunk. It was eating grass while shaking its tail and flapping its big ears. At the same time, its eyes were constantly opening and closing, watching the tourists. In the orangutan pavilion, we saw a big chimpanzee, whose whole body was covered with black or brown coarse hair except for its hands, feet and face. A burly and strong chimpanzee, it hung upside down on the tree, shaking its body, and called "Oh oh um" to us, as if it was saying hello to us! What impressed me most was watching the "marine animal show". A sea lion had many "skills" after training: it could blow kisses to tourists, play musical instruments, head the ball in the water... Its cooperation with the trainer won warm and lasting applause from the audience. Hongshan Zoo is located next to Xuanwu Mountain, Hongshan Mountain, and bell and drum tower. It is blessed with unique natural conditions, with everything growing and beautiful scenery. It is really a good place to raise animals. We were so happy to see so many rare animals!
In a corner of Nanjing Hongshan Zoo, there is a cute world hidden - the Giant Panda Pavilion. Stepping into this exclusive area, it feels like you have traveled to the hometown of giant pandas in an instant, quiet and full of natural atmosphere.
Reservations are required and tickets are charged. After breakfast, I came here just in time for the peak of the park. I was scared of rats. There were volunteers handing out park maps at the door. My route: Enter from the north gate and turn left, passing Lemur Island, and go to the Panda Pavilion first → Slender-tailed Mongoose (cute and lovely, you can tunnel to the middle to become their ornamental animal) → Native Species Conservation Area (my favorite area, there are not too many popular animals, no need to squeeze in, you can slowly find the hiding Yangtze alligators, foxes, muntjacs, etc.) → Wolf Pavilion → Monkey Mountain → Tiger Park → Bear Valley → Gaoligong (see red pandas, cute) → Elephant Pavilion (next door neighbor rhinoceros, stinky; this area is dizzy, and you pass by gibbons in the middle) → Reptile Pavilion → Gondwana + Marmoset Pavilion + Asian Primate Area (Internet celebrity monk-faced monkeys appear, writing travel notes and looking at the map found that I missed the golden monkeys!!!) → Australian Area (will pass through Capybara, haha) → Hippo Pavilion → Orangutan Pavilion → Giraffe Pavilion → Penguin Pavilion → Skip the bird area and return to the north gate to exit the park. Almost every animal area was crowded, especially the popular animals, and I was sweating profusely; I heard that the wolf house was too far from the bear valley, so I skipped the cat house; I gave up immediately when I saw the line at the koala house; I was hot, tired, and in a hurry, so I didn't go to the bird area at all. It is said that the park is expensive, so when I got off the subway, there were a lot of people selling water and dolls, which were probably fake.
The Hongshan Zoo, which is "very ordinary", does not have the most animal species and the park area is not the largest. From an average of 2,000 visitors per day after the epidemic, to the current number of visitors comparable to Shanghai Disneyland, any success is not without reason. Indeed, the concept of giving way to animals can be felt everywhere. Animals are the masters, and everyone is the guest. Everything is up to the host. The Diverse Planet Day and Night Camp also adheres to this concept. The original intention of its existence is not to please tourists, but to popularize science and education. Highly recommended.
The Gondwana area is the area that best reflects the concept of Hongshan. There are many mixed animals here. Visitors walk through the corridor and watch the animals in the open air through the glass curtain wall (some areas are just large glass windows). Animals are the masters, and we are uninvited guests. The placement of food in Hongshan Zoo is also very particular. The staff tries their best to put food in places that are difficult to find and difficult to obtain, increasing the difficulty of animals to eat. There are also many animals here: chimpanzees, gibbons, golden monkeys, squirrel monkeys, white-faced saki monkeys, lion tamarins, common marmosets, American scarlet ibis, black-crowned pheasants, capybaras, agouti, six-banded armadillos, iguanas, servals, caracals, jaguars... not to mention the Internet celebrity koalas and pandas. Animals are generally more active in the morning, and there are relatively fewer tourists in the morning than in the afternoon, so it is best to rush to the zoo at 8:30. 2. There is a food court in the park, with a wide variety of food, the taste is acceptable, and the price is slightly more expensive than outside. If you don't want to carry too much and want to eat salty food, the food court is a better choice. The mineral water in the park is a bit expensive, four or five yuan a bottle. On the "Diverse Planet" applet, you can make reservations for overnight stays at the zoo and some science camps. These activities are quite popular. When I went to see them on Wednesday, all the activities for that weekend were fully booked. If you want to make a reservation, it is best to make it a week in advance.
Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo is the only self-supporting public zoo in China. It was the first to cancel animal performances and is committed to popular science education.
From my own experience, this zoo is the most interesting one I have ever experienced.

If you want to see the whole zoo in one go, it will take most of the day.
You can buy the sightseeing bus ticket to enter the gate or not. The advantage of buying it is that after visiting the panda house, you can take the bus directly to the innermost part and then walk slowly outside. If you have more time, it doesn't matter.
Visited before the ticket price was adjusted. The venue was completely arranged according to the living environment of small animals. There were many kinds of animals, and I saw cute koalas, chameleons, etc. The whole scenic area is quite large. In the end, due to time constraints, I did not visit the bear hall, and I did not see all the cats...
Enter Hongshan Forest Zoo from the north gate, go straight to the left and you will see the Panda Pavilion, you can follow the signs to see it, and finally exit from the Rare Bird Garden of Xiaohongshan. Because pandas, tigers, lions, elephants, giraffes and other animals are available in general zoos, if time is tight, ⚠️ it is recommended that a better route is to go to Xiaohongshan first ⚠️, where there is a tropical bird pavilion to admire beautiful flamingos. We went late and did not enter the pavilion. Fortunately, through the glass, I took pictures of a large number of flamingos playing in the water. Otherwise, I would have regretted this trip to the zoo.
The most important check-in place on this trip is Hongshan Forest Zoo.
Thinking there might be koalas, I came over to take a look, but what I liked most was dolphins.
Take Metro Line 1 directly to Hongshan Zoo Station. There is a sign outside the station. Turn left for 260 meters and follow the crowd to arrive.
You can get a free small map at the visitor center, and a large map is available at the ticket office window for 2 yuan each. Tickets are 40 yuan.
This zoo is very old, and the gate is a bit old. It took a long time to find the koala house. The sleeping koalas are really cute. There is a huge bird cage, and people can go in and get close to tropical birds.
The zoo is built on the mountain and has many species of animals. However, because the second phase is under construction, several pavilions are closed to the public.
You can bring your children. The pandas, gibbons, golden monkeys and other small animals are very lively and run around in the venue.
I think I've been there three or four times, and each time I felt the same. There are not as many animals as before, but there are more and more game facilities.
There are many people taking children there, and the transportation is very convenient
The animals inside are still very interesting. I didn’t have a good time in the amusement park this time. I hope I can have a chance to have a good time next time.
There are all kinds of animals in it, and children love it the most, haha...
Very good, there are all kinds of animals, pandas, kangaroos, koalas, gorillas, etc., etc., 40 yuan is definitely a conscience price, both babies and adults like it
Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, adult ticket is 40, student price is 20, it's quite cost-effective. The zoo is very large, there are all kinds of animals, such as lions, tigers, elephants, bears, leopards, wolves, zebras, giraffes, monkeys, etc., and there are also giant pandas. Haha, it's the first time I saw a panda in person, so cute! There is also an area about birds in the park, all kinds of parrots, very beautiful, peacocks, pheasants and so on. There are also many kinds of monkeys. Anyway, the animals you can see in the zoo are really dazzling, there are too many cute little animals, so there are many children visiting. In addition, there is a small aquarium in Hongshan Zoo, which does not charge an additional ticket. There are amphibians, reptiles, sharks, crocodiles and so on, which is very interesting. Let's talk about the structure of the zoo. It is built on Hongshan Mountain. Entering the park can not only see animals, but also enjoy the mountain scenery, and exercise a little by the way, which is great.
Most of Nanjing is cultural and historical attractions. Children who like zoos can come here. Travel equipment: umbrella hat, you can prepare bananas, melon seeds, etc. to feed the monkeys. Travel suggestions: The zoo is not very big, but each animal point is not very close. The children like the elephants the most. I need to complain a little. The arrow points to the sign of Bear Mountain. Climb up many steps and find that there are only cats on it. So those who want to see bears should not take the wrong way. It is very tiring to climb the steps with children.
The Nanjing Zoo is similar to the Hangzhou Zoo, the only thing is that the area within ten meters around the hippopotamus stinks...
Hongshan Forest Zoo. (student ticket ~hiahiahia~) The zoo is so big that it closed at 16:30 in the afternoon.
The Hongshan Forest Zoo is built on the mountain. There are three mountains in the park. Be prepared to climb them. The main peak, Dahongshan, is about 80 meters above sea level. On the top of the mountain is the Grand Spectacular Pavilion, which is a replica of the Six Dynasties architecture. It is three stories high and can be seen from a distance. Dahongshan has a beast area; the north gate leads to Xiaohongshan, which has a bird area; the southwest gate of Shenyang Village leads to Fangniushan, which has a herbivore area and a primate area.
This zoo is called Hongshan Forest Zoo. Just hearing the name sounds a bit... Steep. As expected, this zoo is built on a mountain... What's inside is like this😯The animals here are so lively, unlike the ones in Beijing Zoo who are all sleeping... Do you really think they live in the mountains? Haha. The one below is the heaviest. The rest are all cute. There should be another hippo in the pool next to the pavilion. It's just diving... This one is extremely excited... But the smell is also amazing. Awooo~~~The little gorilla has a strong sense of camera. Wow~ He lives in a super luxurious villa by himself~ This level is not ordinary "Watch out, I'm going to attack you" These two are fighting all the time... Not friendly at all. Angry birds~ The big cats here are so close... So big~ "Smells so good"~~The wolf food here is so good. There are a lot of uneaten X-legs on the ground. I don't know what kind of legs they are. Anyway, they look so fresh. The big cat is so handsome. I want to touch it. Well, I was just thinking about Timon coming and catching a Lee Kwang Soo~ Well, I’m almost done with the tour.
The 2 yuan map is not very useful. The zoo is not small, and it takes about half a day to walk through it. The pandas are dirty and huddled in a corner, and the koala house is not yet built, so I didn't see it. But to be honest, the amphibian house is still refreshing.
It's a pity that many animals didn't come out when I went there in the summer, but you can go and see them and take your children to get to know the animals.
It was already noon when we went to Hongshan Forest Zoo. The tigers, leopards, and giant pandas were already asleep, so it was rare for children to see any animal. We climbed the mountain to see the scenery, and a few hours passed by while we squeezed in with the crowds to see a few small animals. We left the zoo at 4pm.
The zoo is quite big and there are many animals. It's tiring to walk around all of them.
It just feels unhygienic. Most animals are lazy.
The park is full of old rides and crappy restaurants
By the way, I want to complain about the garbage in the Monkey Mountain Pool. It's too immoral. It's pitiful to see the monkeys picking up garbage and eating it.
Hongshan Forest Zoo, here is a friendly reminder, if you are a student, remember to bring your student ID card when you go out, it may come in handy. The reason why the zoo is placed at the first stop is because I like small animals more, some animals are furry and very cute. After entering, the first stop was the panda house. Pandas are national treasures. I really want to see their true appearance, but the cute little pandas are sleeping, with only their big round butts facing me. I waited there for a while, thinking, if they don’t turn around, I will leave. Maybe the panda heard my sincere thoughts and turned around slowly, revealing its cute face. There are some other animals that I won’t describe one by one. What’s interesting is that you can buy a small plastic cup of corn kernels, carrots, etc. in the pet park to feed pigeons, rabbits and other small animals. The feeding process is very wonderful, you can experience it!
There are too many animal exhibitions that require separate tickets... The tickets are not universal
Tickets are 40 yuan, children under 140 cm are free, and there are giant pandas to see.
The giraffe's neck is so long, it must be very uncomfortable when it chokes. The cute giant panda is only concerned with sleeping with the small animals. You are really happy to enjoy the feeding process. Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo is a national 4A-level scenic spot, and the ticket price is 40 yuan/person. If you don't prefer animals, it is not recommended to go, the ticket price is a bit expensive, and the main animals are all kept in iron bars with glass walls outside, so you can't watch them up close. But it is quite suitable for parent-child travel.
On December 24, 2016, the whole class was in Nanjing♡
The atmosphere is great♡
I'm very happy♡
The zoo is quite big and generally good. If you come to Nanjing, you can come and visit. There are also performances.
I went there many years ago. The tickets were really cheap and there were many kinds of animals. Now there is a subway, which is very convenient.
The area is slightly small, but it has everything. The animals are so cute and there are delicious foods. The ticket price is half price if you have a student ID, which is still very economical. The only drawback is that it was too hot when I went there, so I didn't enjoy it well.
I can count the number of times I have been to Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo on my hands. It's not that I love animals, but compared to other zoos, Hongshan Forest Zoo can really be regarded as "cheap and good value". There are many kinds of animals, beautiful scenery, and the ticket price is acceptable. It is a must-go place. Especially with children, I go there more often... Children have a subtle feeling for animals. They like this this time and that next time. There are always new things to stimulate their interest. I have to say that the hippopotamus in Hongshan Forest Zoo are very cute, and the appearance of 💩 is even cuter. Since the children witnessed the whole process of the hippo pooping, they have been thinking about it!
The largest zoo in Jiangsu. Bring your children to Jiangsu to play. You can play with this in the zoo. There are many animals. There is a place where children can interact with animals, which is very good.
Very good, a zoo with 37 exhibition halls, the route can be divided into two, basically you can walk through all the halls. Some halls have iron cages that are too tight. Overall it is worth a visit, recommended to spend 3 hours.
Going there in this weather is really killing me...
I thought it would be boring, but it turned out to be quite pleasantly surprised. The zoo is very big. There are a lot of green plants, and it was so fresh after the rain. I leisurely entered the door at 2 pm. The animals were taking a nap. It feels like they also work from 9 to 5 every day for tourists to watch. It's a bit sad to think about it this way. - Panda Pavilion: The panda's sleeping posture is so cute. It's so dirty that I want to use a scrub brush to clean it. - Lion and Tiger Pavilion: Lions, tigers and leopards are constantly going in and out of the cave. It seems that they can identify the sound of the camera shutter and will look over when the shutter is pressed. It was so scary that it was completely out of focus. The black panther is super active, and I can't take a picture of him at all. Because it's too dark! Too dark! The camera can't focus! - Wolf Pavilion: Don't lie to me that I don't have much education. Are you sure this kind and honest face is not a local dog? - Amphibian Pavilion: Worth a look. There are many stupid fish. Cute kissing fish. Two turtles with big nostrils. The smaller the snake, the more poisonous it is. Finally, take the tour bus back to the main gate. The guy was so cute. He insisted on sending us back home after get off work. He also took us to see hippos and penguins. We told the old man collecting tickets at the door that we were his friends and asked him not to charge us.
I came here after seeing the 9 yuan special ticket for Hongshan Forest Zoo online. Although it is old, it is still good. It has everything you need. There are many children, so it is recommended to spend half a day.
We are over 50 years old. We haven't been to the zoo for many years. We were like primary school students, laughing and looking around. We were curious and surprised. The zoo is very big. We couldn't finish it. I feel a little regretful. I look forward to the next visit.
The place is very big, with many animals. The most eye-catching ones are the giant pandas and red pandas. In addition, large animals such as elephants and giraffes are also good. The monkey mountain is very big. It is good to go in spring and autumn, but it is hot and tiring to go in summer.
We went there on Saturday. Although the weather was not good and it was drizzling, it did not affect our interest in playing. Hongshan Zoo is the largest zoo I have ever seen. There are many species of animals in it. If you want to see them all, it will take at least a day. The design inside is also very good. There is a place to rest after walking for a while. The first stop is the Panda Pavilion. I saw the legendary national treasure giant panda. It is very cute and naive, but a little lazy. We jokingly called it a lazy cat. Later we saw tigers, wolves, leopards, elephants, giraffes, monkeys, etc. We arrived in the morning and played until five in the afternoon before leaving the park. We had a lot of fun and will go again next time.
Hongshan Zoo has no designated route. It is built on a mountain and walking is very tiring, but it is still very exciting to see the animals suddenly appear in front of you. The key is that the tickets are cheap~~~
I go to the zoo wherever I go. Hehe. Hongshan Zoo is really big. I was exhausted that day =. =
Hongshan Forest Zoo is very big, so it's very tiring to walk around. There are many kinds of animals, but the weather was a bit hot when I went there, so some animals were sleeping. The tigers were OK, the monkeys were very active, and the pandas were lazy. The hippopotamus I wanted to see the most was locked in a cage and not released. I only saw a little bit of the background, which was a pity. The giraffes were cute, and there were many birds. In short, I saw a lot. It felt good. But the penguin house and amphibian house inside have to charge extra tickets, which is a bit mean. Like other attractions, the food and drinks inside are quite expensive. If conditions permit, it is recommended to prepare some food and water.
It's on a pretty high mountain. The environment is great, but it's a bit tiring because the mountain is quite steep.
Hongshan Forest Zoo is very big, so it's very tiring to walk around. There are many kinds of animals, suitable for family trips or couples. Because there are many animals and plants, there are many mosquitoes. Before entering, be sure to spray mosquito repellent. My boyfriend and I didn't take precautions, so our legs were covered with red envelopes. And the mosquitoes here seem to only bite outsiders~ Like other attractions, the food and drinks inside are quite expensive. If conditions permit, it is recommended to prepare some food and water, or eat before entering. There are many restaurants and KFC outside.
I went there with my baby Xinxin on New Year’s Day. There were long-nosed elephants, cute slender-tailed mongooses...the kids loved them so much!
The three exhibition areas of Xiaohongshan Bird Area, Dahongshan Wild Animal Area, Fangniushan Herbivores and Primates have been built. 39 innovatively designed animal venues are built along the mountain and scattered among the mountains; the lion and tiger area, the gorilla and baboon exhibition area, the bear mountain, the elephant pavilion, the gentle and lovely giant and red pandas, squirrel monkeys, the flamingo tropical rainforest pavilion, the science museum, the amphibian pavilion, the waterfowl pavilion, etc. gather all kinds of natural customs. The large animal performance venue, the children's playground and other recreational facilities allow visitors to play to their heart's content after sightseeing. Hongshan Forest Zoo has shown its infinite charm with its unique forest and animal characteristics, and has become another tourist hotspot in Nanjing.
The zoo is very large, with undulating terrain and winding paths. There are lion and tiger areas, bird areas, wild animal areas, primate areas, large herbivores areas, animal performances, etc.
Hongshan Forest Park is great. The only drawback is that all the animals are protected from a distance, and it is difficult to get close to them. I like the amphibian pavilion inside. Although I am a little scared, it is one step closer than on TV. I have never seen many animals before, and it is difficult to remember their names clearly. In short, I am very happy.
Accompany two grandmas to go to the zoo to return to nature! Haha! There are still many people taking children there on weekends. The ticket price is 40 yuan!
The environment is beautiful, gathering all kinds of natural customs. There are also large animal performance venues, children's playgrounds and other recreational facilities, so that visitors can have fun after sightseeing.
The best combination of animals and forests is Nanjing Hongshan Forest Park, which is a good place for leisure, appreciation and knowledge in the city. The trees in the park are tall, lush and winding, and the unique forest landscape, rich animal resources and colorful theme activities make it one of the most distinctive zoos in China. If you go there often, you can buy an annual pass. There is a large area and many animals inside, and it takes at least half a day. It is recommended not to go if it is too hot, because animals are afraid of heat and hide and don't want to move. It is very convenient to book tickets on Ctrip. There is no need to queue up at all, and you can get the tickets directly!
I took my son there. He liked the reptile house the most. He walked around in it for a long time and didn't come out.
Hongshan Forest Zoo is very big, but some animals were asleep. The tigers were OK, the monkeys were very active, and the pandas were lazy. The hippopotamus I wanted to see the most was locked in a cage and not released. I could only see a little bit of the background, which was a pity. The giraffes were cute, and there were many birds. In short, I saw a lot. It felt good. But the penguin house and amphibian house inside had to charge extra tickets, which was a bit unfair.
Actually, the zoo was quite fun. It had been a long time since I had been to a zoo, especially one so big and open. During that time, my friends and I always chose remote and difficult paths and liked to visit places with few people. As a result, we were almost locked up in the wolf area by the administrator, but fortunately, it was a false alarm.
There are tigers, black bears, monkeys, horses, peacocks in the zoo, but I didn't see any other animals. There are no crocodiles in the crocodile park. There are only four kinds of animals in the zoo. It's really not worth going to this zoo.
Lots of fences, otherwise we would become food.
It gathers the best animals in Jiangsu Province and represents the highest level of zoos in Jiangsu Province.
But I can't go to the zoo often. I go once or twice a year to see the big and small animals. It's still quite loving haha~
When I was taking a photo of a tiger, it roared at me...
Pandas are always lazy...
It's a very interesting place. Although I've only been there once, I was deeply impressed. There are many animals there, including giant pandas, tigers, lions, and monkeys. The poor giant pandas were terribly hot in the summer, but luckily they were equipped with air conditioners and ice cubes. Their living conditions are pretty good.
It is always a pleasure to go to the zoo. Seeing living things is completely different from seeing still life.
Hongshan Forest Zoo was built in 1998 and was relocated from Xuanwu Lake Zoo. Now it has three exhibition areas: Xiaohongshan Bird Area, Dahongshan Wild Animal Area, Fangniushan Herbivores and Primates. 39 innovatively designed animal venues are built along the mountain and scattered among the mountains. The lion and tiger area, gorilla and baboon exhibition area, bear mountain, elephant pavilion, docile and lovely giant and red pandas, squirrel monkeys, flamingo tropical rainforest pavilion, science museum, amphibian pavilion, waterfowl pavilion, etc. gather all kinds of natural customs. Hongshan Forest Zoo has shown its infinite charm with its unique forest and animal characteristics, and has become another tourist hotspot in Nanjing.
The name is quite nice. I came here with my friends last time. We all like this kind of place, so we came here to have a look on the weekend. The transportation here is quite convenient. The subway is really convenient! It doesn't take long to ride. It's really good.
I bought a combined ticket. It's ok inside. There are quite a lot of animals and the environment is nice. It's just a pity that I didn't see the cute giant pandas last time I went there. Wow, so sad.
The transportation is quite convenient. You can get there by subway. It feels similar to the Shanghai Zoo. I remember walking a lot of slopes. I couldn't walk anymore and asked Xiaobao to carry me for a while. Haha~ The animals are so cute.
My experience is that it is best not to go there in winter and summer. In winter, you can hardly see any animals. They all hide in their small houses and don't want to come out. In summer, the animals are all huddled and don't like to move. It may be because of the heat. Generally, it is a good choice to go there for spring outings in spring and autumn, but the smell is too strong and a bit unbearable.
I like the name here, I always feel there is a very curious element in it.
I heard that this place gathers the best animals in Jiangsu Province, but when I first came to this place, I was shocked, hey...
This place stinks. I don't know if it's because we came at the wrong time, in the summer. The animals I saw were all lazily crawling there without moving. If they saw someone feeding them, they would get up and eat if they were really happy. Otherwise, they would just ignore you. It was so frustrating to me.
My favorite thing is the pandas here, they are very cute, and every time I see them I feel they are so cute
I like to come to this place to see the small animals here. The best thing is that the animals here don’t have that stinky fishy smell.
Those who like to see small animals should pay attention. According to my experience, it is best not to come to this place in winter and summer. In winter, there is nothing to see here. It is too cold. The small animals do not come out. Occasionally, you can see a few small animals, but they are too lazy and do not want to move. I am not in the mood to see them. In summer, the smell is too strong. Although there are some heat dissipation tools in this place, they do not move. I don't like it.
The environment here is pretty good, and there are not too many people coming here. I feel that most of them come with their children, which is true! This place is very suitable for children to come, and they can learn a lot of things. The tigers and pandas here are very cute, but I feel that the animals here are too lazy! They are not very fat, and it feels like they are not fed enough, hey!
The transportation is very convenient and you can get there by subway. Many parents bring their children to play. There are monkey mountains, panda houses, etc. All kinds of animals are very cute, especially the gorilla who taught "Le Shen" is very lovable and has grown up now.
It's really not worth going there in the summer. The animals are so hot that they can't move and are as lazy as sculptures.
There were no giant pandas before, but now it seems there are
The zoo is cost-effective and suitable for family travel. The ticket is 40 yuan, and 37 yuan is bought at China-TravelNote. You don't need to queue up and you can enter with your ID card. The transportation is convenient. You can get off at the North Square by train and walk for more than 20 minutes, or take the subway Line 1. It is not recommended to drive or take a taxi because it is too congested. There are KFC and McDonald's at the gate. You can buy some food and drinks for lunch. You can also bring mats and tents. If you bring children, you must bring a foldable stroller. There are many strollers for rent at the entrance. The zoo is built on the mountain, so be prepared to climb the mountain, but fortunately it is not very high. Men can carry a backpack, carry a stroller in the left hand, and hold the baby in the right hand and rush up the mountain in minutes. Ladies can do what they can, or they can take the sightseeing bus in the courtyard, but I personally recommend walking. The area on the right hand side of the entrance is birds, including pigeons, peacocks, chickens, ducks, geese, parrots, penguins, etc. Then go to the mongoose tube, you can turn into a small tunnel. There is an observation port in the center of the tunnel where you can watch, and then go up the mountain to see tigers and then giant pandas. These two animals depend on luck. They were all sleeping when I went there. Those with good physical strength can go up the mountain to see wolves, and then go down the mountain to see lions, tigers, and white tigers. Then go down the mountain to the monkey mountain. Children will definitely not want to leave after seeing the monkeys here, so there is a large grassland when you are close to the monkey area where you can set up a tent to rest. Those who don't have a tent can see the monkeys and pass the giraffes. You can rest at the koala tube, where there are food and amusement facilities. After resting, you can go to see koalas, then go to see orangutans, gibbons, and then go to the Australian animal exhibition area to see kangaroos. After a circle in the Australian animal exhibition area, you can see hippos. Children are more interested in hippos. You can also watch animal performances by the way. This requires additional money. Then go to the amphibian reptile tube. You can enter here with your ID card. There are lizards, snakes, crocodiles, turtles, and many fish. Then go to see zebras, and then raccoons. The raccoons are super cute. Seeing their naive appearance will ensure that you stop and take pictures. Then see elephants. There is an elephant dancing there all the time. Then go up the mountain to see lynxes, bears, and leopards, and then go down and go out from the east door. In short, Hongshan Zoo is a good place to take children to know nature and animals. The play time is about three hours. It is recommended that parents do their homework before playing, so as not to be speechless by curious babies.
