Januar, Shelly, I succeeded in making it to the zoo, at last. How was it? Allow me to quote my tripadvisor.com review:
"The first thing we were told when we approached the ticket counter was “没有熊猫." ("No Pandas"), not really a great way to start the day. The park itself was rundown, and that's putting it nicely. You should pack a lunch: the restaurant listed on the map (Flamingo Restaurant) is an abandoned building; We ended up eating ramen noodles from a vendor in the middle of the woods. The free bus tour drives at break-neck speed through the park's wild animal sanctuary, but I imagine the car you have to pay 40RMB for goes slower, it might even stop. While visiting, we stayed for the Marine Animal Show (as it was listed on the map; it's really just a sea lion show), but found the Circus Show building to be as empty as the restaurant. We decided to leave after we spent half an hour trying to find our way to the Wild Bird Show, to no avail.
On the plus side: There was NO ONE at the park. We saw, maybe, twenty other people all day. Some of the areas we had entirely to ourselves, including the Monkey House. We spent fifteen minutes or so with a chimpanzee and her baby, watching them play without another soul in sight. You should be warned, however, the animal's environments are...less than optimal. If you're squeamish about that sort of thing, you might want to avoid the park altogether."
Eh, we had a good time, though. And, I took a ton of pictures:
And, I paid about $1 to ride a camel!
Hmm...wait. That mandrill. I guess I should have mentioned that these photos were NSFW. Oh, well. :-P
