Let's chat about the zoo! 🐯

#chinatravel

Dalian Forest Zoo is considered one of the best in all of China. 🇨🇳

📎 It's home to over 300 species and 3000 animals! We're talking pandas, camels, capybaras, ostriches, giraffes, lions, hyenas, and even a rhino!

All the zoo residents are living their best life. The enclosures are super clean, and the animals look super well-cared for. 👍

The place seems huge at first glance, but hopping from one enclosure to the next, you won't even notice how you end up at the far end!

For those not into walking 🚶♀️, there are open-top buses cruising around. They run on two loop routes and slowly (but non-stop!) drive past all the animal areas.

🔖 Zoo ticket costs 60 yuan per person.
This includes the botanical garden, panda park, and all the animal exhibits. 🐼🌿

💛 I totally recommend getting a taxi 🚕.
No subway stations nearby, and all the buses take either forever or involve transfers.

For us two, a taxi from Zhongshan Square was only 26 yuan. Got there quick and comfy!

Right near the zoo, you've got the Lotus Hill viewpoint and the Xinghai Bridge viewpoint. 🌉
