✨【Must-visit Landmark】Get up close and personal with the national treasure✨
• Bifengxia Panda Base: Led by the returned giant panda "Xiangxiang," the adorable pet team awaits! Families can experience "Panda Enrichment Interaction," using fresh bamboo to lure pandas to eat and capture perfect close-up photos. The base has added a "Jungle Roller Coaster," passing through a canyon covered by 95% forest, with an abundance of negative oxygen ions, instantly pulling kids away from electronic devices.
• Wildlife World: Ride the 360° panoramic feeding vehicle to feed Siberian tigers and African lions. The safety holes let kids boldly experience the thrill of "snatching food from the tiger's mouth." In the gentle animal zone, you can pet alpacas and feed sika deer. Thousands of birds circle in the Bird Paradise, like a real-life version of "Zootopia."
🏯【Ancient Town Slow Time】A parent-child classroom through a thousand years🏯
• Shangli Ancient Town: Clear streams run through the streets, where kids can catch small fish and shrimp in the shallow water and enjoy bamboo tube water gun battles. The "Intangible Cultural Heritage Bamboo Weaving Workshop" by the ancient bridge offers parent-child craft classes, where children aged 3+ can weave small bamboo baskets by hand. Recommended stay: Yuanshan Yayuan Forest Homestay, wooden cabins hidden in cedar forests, featuring a children's playground and a kilometer-long tree-lined trail, just a 10-minute walk to the ancient town.
