Zoo Tour Tips:
1. Get up early and depart
If you can get up early, you can see the animals having breakfast!! And the morning temperature is lower, and the animals are more likely to come out and move. You can also look at the wake-up ceremony of the animals, many animals are like us, after getting up, they generally have to drink some water to moisten their throats.
2. Keep quiet while watching
Animals don't like noise, which scares them.
3. Be patient
The animals are a little shy and also like to play hide-and-seek, you need to be patient and wait for them to come out.

Remember to dress warmly for this event
"We love this zoo very much, it's an open zoo where these northern forest animals come from different places but live completely together! The only animals that are kept separately are wolves. Black bears are free to roam with bison, elk, musk oxen and more than 1,000 other animals. The guide who led us was knowledgeable, helpful and patient waiting for us to take the perfect photos. There are also restaurants in the park, we ordered a traditional meat pie and a cold beer, all delicious! This zoo is also very good~
