Qinling Wildlife Park: A stunning encounter with fierce beasts
My first day's itinerary was arranged for the Qinling Wildlife Park. At 9 o'clock in the morning, I took Public Transportation and arrived at the park in about an hour and a half. As soon as I entered the park, I was attracted by its vastness and natural ecology.
Firstly, arrive at the car park and take a sightseeing bus, spending about an hour shuttling through various fierce animal areas. The majestic tiger paced on the grass, occasionally emitting low growls as if declaring its territorial sovereignty; The lions lazily lay on the ground basking in the sun. When they saw the sightseeing bus passing by, one of them even stood up and posed in a handsome manner, as if performing for the tourists. The "playmaster" appearance was so amusing that it couldn't help but laugh.
Moving on to the pedestrian area, there are various cute little animals here. I spent nearly 2 hours in the primate area and was deeply attracted by the lively and clever monkeys. The little monkeys jump up and down, compete for food with each other, and even sell cute food to tourists, looking very cute. There are also exciting animal performances in the park. Although the performance time is not long, the animals' wonderful performances have won rounds of applause from the audience.
Xi'an Zoo: An Animal Park in the City
The next day, I went to Xi'an Zoo located in the city center. It was very convenient to take the subway, which took about 40 minutes to arrive. Although the area here is relatively small, there is a rich variety of animal species.
After entering the park at 10 o'clock in the morning, I first went to see the cute and simple giant pandas. They eat bamboo and have a cute and adorable appearance. They sit and lie down at times, and every movement cutes my heart. I stayed in the panda house for more than an hour. Later, in the herbivore area, I saw gentle deer, camels, and other animals. I spent about an hour interacting with them and even purchased feed to feed them under the guidance of the staff, feeling the wonderful feeling of their soft tongues licking food. In the bird zone, colorful birds flew in the sky, chirping as if playing a wonderful symphony. I also enjoyed it here for nearly an hour.
Qujiang Marine Polar Park: A Fantasy World of Marine Creatures
On the third day, I arrived at Qujiang Ocean Polar Park. Although this is not a traditional zoo, the charm of marine life is equally irresistible. After taking the bus for about an hour, I couldn't wait to enter the park.
At the oceanarium, I spent over two hours as if I were in an underwater world. Various tropical fish groups shuttle through the huge aquarium, forming a colorful scene; Smart dolphins and sea lions performed brilliantly on the performance field, jumping, heading and other movements in one go. They cooperated seamlessly with the trainers, winning cheers and applause from the audience. At the Polar Pavilion, the adorable penguins swayed and walked, jumping into the water to swim happily, and then coming ashore to tidy up their feathers. Their cute appearance made people unable to resist stopping and watching. I also stayed here for more than an hour.
Qinling Sibao Science Park: Exclusive Home for Rare Animals
On the the fourth day, I went to the Qinling Four Treasures Science Park, which is the home of the "Qinling Four Treasures" - giant pandas, crested ibis, takins and golden monkeys. It takes about 2 hours to reach the park by taking the tourist line.
As soon as I entered the park, I headed straight to the Giant Panda House and saw several giant pandas leisurely living in the park. Some were eating bamboo, some were sleeping, and some were playing with each other. Every move was full of cuteness, and I observed them here for nearly 2 hours. At the Crested Ibis Pavilion, elegant crested ibises paced on the grass, their white feathers and red heads were very eye-catching. I spent about an hour learning about their living habits and conservation status. Takins are large in size but appear gentle, while golden monkeys jump flexibly between tree branches. Their liveliness and agility allowed me to stay in both areas for nearly an hour.
My four-day trip to the zoo in Xi'an allowed me to see a variety of adorable animals, each with its own unique charm. Whether it was the stunning encounter with fierce beasts or the warm interaction with cute creatures, they left a deep impression on me.
