Singapore, a Southeast Asian island nation
Located at the southernmost tip of the Malay Peninsula, it is located in the tropics and has abundant precipitation
It is rich in species and some of the best in the world
Zoo, night zoo and botanical garden
Since 1973, Singapore Zoo has been known for having some of the world's most fascinating wildlife habitat and is known as the world's best rainforest zoo. And the number of animals is unexpected, many animals that you may not have heard of can be seen everywhere, and natural barriers are used instead of fences to create a natural living environment for animals, allowing us and animals to live in peace while getting as close to each other as possible.

01. Highlights of the trip
Led by a naturalist travel expert, take you inside Zootopia
Singapore is not big, but the zoo is huge. Broadly speaking, Singapore Zoo is divided into four separate parks: Singapore Zoo, River Safari, Night Safari and Bird Paradise, all of which have their own characteristics.
Swipe left and right to see the four parks
Visiting the zoo here is enough to make you "walk from day to night". On this trip to Singapore, Mr. Zhu Kaijie of the Museum will walk with you and bring professional and interesting animal and plant knowledge explanations to friends of all ages. We will take Singapore's five major zoological and botanical gardens to give you an in-depth experience of Singapore's biodiversity. I believe that with the company of Teacher Zhu, you will definitely become the most "understanding" boy in the garden.
Zhu Kaijie
In-depth nature enthusiast, nature adventure leader, ecological science author, nature photographer, science editor of the museum operation department.
With more than ten years of experience in nature observation, since 2018, he has mainly engaged in guided nature activities in the polar regions.
A veteran birdwatcher, he has recorded nearly 1,200 species of birds and is familiar with the living habits of many animals and plants. A volume of Nature Travel Notes will soon be published.
Raft the Amazon River and touch the walrus
The River Safari "moves" the world's major rivers into the park, and through the ubiquitous transparent pools, we will clearly observe how hippos "walk" in the water, otters move through the water, and even giant arowana and alligator eels swimming overhead.
The big stars here are the giant pandas Kaikai and Jia Jia living in the "Yangtze River Basin", and the zoo has built a large Chinese-style house for them, and maintains constant temperature control all year round, and there is an ample supply of tender bamboo.
The most distinctive is the Amazon River Basin. We'll take a boat ride along a 438-metre-long man-made river to see more than 30 species of Amazon animals that inhabit the shore, including Brazilian tapirs, jaguars, capybaras, proboscis raccoons and great anteaters. Navigate the dangerous Amazon River, with countless pairs of eyes watching you in the trees.
Nocturnal exploration, "What are the animals doing at night?" ”
The most famous and desirable part of the Singapore Zoo today must be the Night Safari. In the dark, we will take a fully open tour bus to observe the animals, which will appear in a completely different state than during the day. For example, "Simba" on Lion Mountain, it only lazily lies under the trees to bask in the sun during the day, and at night, you can hear its penetrating low roar from far away, which is chilling.
We'll also hike in the dark to visit the hibcat, leopard and the world's largest bat habitat, so your heart beats faster when you hear it? It's also a time to test your eye, as most nocturnal animals are used to hiding themselves in the dark, so don't be frightened by the half-tall Malay fox that suddenly passes you.
Get a sneak peek into Singapore's newest bird paradise
Bird Paradise is Singapore's newest zoo to open and we will be the first to explore. It was formerly known as Jurong Bird Park, the most prestigious bird zoo in Asia and the world. After the expansion and renovation, a richer and more spectacular scene will be unfolded before our eyes.
Here, we will watch bee tigers catch insects in mid-air in the forested valleys of Africa, and then watch milky storks forage in the bamboo forests and terraces of Southeast Asia. The temperature is also inconsistent in different areas of the bird park, and African penguins will swing left and right in the ice and snow; In the dry eucalyptus forests of the Australian outback, colorful sunflower parrots fly in the air; macaws singing in the swampy wetlands of South America; And by the winding streams of Southeast Asia, the figure of peacocks looms...
Hike the island and step into the lush nature
We will also head to Koh Ubin – a small island off the northeastern coast of Singapore – where we will admire the island's many historical monuments, coconut rubber plantations, fish farms and Singapore's last remaining kampong (from the Malay word for "traditional village").
Ubin Island is not only a window into Singapore's past, but also home to a variety of habitats and wildlife, and we will take a step to explore the island's infinite charm.
A gourmet feast, a good place to live
In this trip, in addition to absorbing spiritual food, of course, it is also indispensable to taste Singapore's national treasure food. Hainanese chicken rice, Songfa baked toast, fried kway teow, etc. Our campsites/hotels are carefully selected by the pre-pathfinder staff of the museum tour to ensure that every member of the team receives the highest quality and comfortable stay.
Not only travel, but also travel photography
Nature and humanities photographers will be invited to accompany the team at each event of the museum trip, and the photographer will not only photograph the animals you see every day during the trip, but also capture the wonderful moments of the team's journey, so that everyone can become the best in the circle of friends in one fell swoop.
Photographers also invite people to participate in photo contests and teach shooting skills along the way. At the end of the tour, we will send all images to each team member.
