Written before the trip

How do you plan to spend this summer?

The wind in June blows, and the lush and lush atmosphere unique to all things in early summer brings the long summer charm of 2021. The warm wind is slightly tipsy, tourists are drunk, mottled tree shadows, singing cicadas, even the divergence of the road after the summer rain The breath is also such a provocative thought, spreading away in the slow summer hours, with a small but fortunate beauty ~

The Dragon Boat Festival holiday has not even begun yet, and I am planning where to go to play. It coincides with June 1. I thought that I had been in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai for so long and had not been to the zoo yet. Why not take a trip to Younger Wildlife Park in Ningbo?

I don't know if you feel the same way, but in my memory, CCTV, which is still immovable, plays "Animal World" in every primary school student's free time when they can watch TV. It's like "The Sky Is Feeling" on CCTV 8 next door. It seems that no matter when you turn on the TV, you can always see it. I think in a place like the Animal World full of fairy tales, whether adults or children can be satisfied and cured?

The Younger Wildlife Park during this trip is located in Ningbo Dongqian Lake Tourist Resort, which is known as the "charm of Xizi and the spirit of Taihu Lake". It is a wildlife park with a large area in China's waters. Not only do there are hippos brushing teeth, Asian elephant garbage classification, tiger diving, etc., it also has the first domestic zoo aquatic animal viewing tour route. Tourists can travel on the clear lake by self-driving boat and watch animals on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. It has a special interest ~

Traveling to Younger over the land, you can reap those inadvertent little surprises and little beauties

When I arrived at the north gate with my friends excitedly, I couldn't wait to pick up the tour manual and wondered which route to start first. However, since I had reserved two days, I might as well start with a land tour first.

As soon as I entered the park, I went straight to the little raccoon I was thinking about. The little raccoon crispy noodles were definitely good when I was a child. It looked cute and cute with its inverted triangular face, a funny black thief eye mask, and a fluffy big tail, chubby body, and a little cheap personality make "Crispy Noodles Jun" a favorite among many cute pet lovers.

Of course, don't rush to leave after taking those cute photos. Check the animal behavior display schedule and catch up with the keeper's science popularization explanation time. Look at how eager they are, how cute they are!

It is worth mentioning that tourists also have the opportunity to interact with these little cute people in person! Insert the fruits and fruits into the branches and pass them in, and you can see these little cute people jumping up and down happily, rubbing their hands with great concentration!

Many people seem to be unable to tell the difference between a little raccoon and a little panda. Although the two have similar face shapes, the differences in other aspects are quite big. The little panda's hair is brown and fluffy, and its claws are short, matched with the white spots on its cheeks. The white eyebrows look particularly innocent, and there is also a piece of ear hair on its ears, which makes it even more cute. It can be said to be the "cute responsibility" of the industry. Especially when the red panda belongs to the Agnopidae family, the giant panda belongs to the Uraceae family. When the red panda is not a giant panda, don't confuse it.

Keep moving forward, and you will see Mr. Peacock, who is definitely the top beauty in the zoo. He paces proudly and looks at the people coming from south to north. He can see them everywhere. His arrogance can be seen. Especially when the screen is turned on, it will inevitably attract screams from the children.

I believe many people have been moved by "The Lion King", and the scene of the first three animals walking in front of the waterfall and the music playing is also very unforgettable. Timon's prototype is actually a fine-tailed mongoose from Africa. The fine-tailed mongoose all look very similar and like to stand in rows. Their "smoky makeup" makes their eyes look much bigger. They put their little paws side by side and stare blankly at you, as if they were listening to a teacher telling stories.

Keep moving forward, it's "Jungle Wonderland"!

A group of jungle elves met tourists in a unique way to show their respective skills. This interaction can be said to be a gathering of stars. Macaws, argillas, little macaques, etc. will present their own wonderful shows. Among the built branches, the monkeys shuttled swiftly, letting people know which animal the ape Mount Tai inherited his ability to fly on eaves and walk walls.

While laughing and laughing, I happened to see the scene of pelicans flying from afar on the lake not far away. They took the beautiful natural environment of Yuanyang Lake as a stage. It was like white clouds falling and landing on the lake like a paraglider, splattering waves. Ripples, there are geese and black swans swimming in the distance, which makes people dizzying, and a casual photo can be used as wallpaper.

Interestingly, there is a bag under the pelican's mouth called the laryngeal sac. The pelican's laryngeal sac is very tough and will not rupture unless it is man-made or under special circumstances. This bag is like a Doraemon treasure chest for pelicans, who even use bags to hold branches to build nests. Here, you can watch how the pelican uses its big bag to carry away the fish given by the staff ~

Before that, you would never have imagined how big the mouth of a hungry pelican could open!

Turn a corner and walk a little further and see the tall, rich and handsome giraffe in the zoo. As the tallest living land animal in the world, it is also a frequent guest in many children's picture books. Children should not forget this little friend. Here, you can see them chewing grass leisurely under the blue sky, and with the canopy with giraffe patterns printed on the side, everything is particularly harmonious.

There are antelopes, ostriches, zebras and other animals on the side. Coupled with the blue sky and vast grasslands, the dry and vast atmosphere and state of mind of the African prairie also swept over. Come and interact, feel the giraffe gracefully hanging its neck, and bathe in its gentle gaze ~

After seeing so many small animals, my hands were itching. We didn't stop and crossed the bridge to Madagascar Island

The aborigines on the island-the ring-tailed lemurs have small black eyes, yellow eyes, and dark circles under their eyes. They may look a little fierce at first glance, and stand very much like a big brother in Hong Kong. But in fact, the ring-tailed lemurs here are very generous. Don't get close to people. They swarm forward to you to sniff around. Maybe we are new to them.

Maybe the ring-tailed lemur also has a soul and asks,"What fox am I today? Today is different human beings. What good things can you get from them? Can I make some more toys tomorrow?" There are many children interacting here, and the adults watching them next to them hold their mobile phones without stopping. It is very suitable for children to establish a first impression of animal friendliness.

When I came out of the island, I read the garden manual. Wow, it was almost the interactive time for [Hornbill Flying], so I quickly took a sightseeing bus to rush there. I didn't want to miss the country's first hornbill behavior display project. It is said that hornbill is very rare in people's lives. It is a very rare bird with a particularly big beak. The hornbill's name is not groundless, but because it has a helme-like protrusion on its head, like the horn of a rhinoceros. When the hornbill flapped its wings and took off, its yellow and white wings and abdomen were clearly exposed, setting off the lush forest behind it and circling gracefully, as if flying in the tropical rainforest it was longing for.

Of course, the wall crack suggests that you sit in the infield area. Not only can you watch it up close, but you can also have the opportunity to interact on stage and feel the intelligence of the birds and the excitement brought by flying from scratch.

Keep walking forward and you will see elephants, the heavyweight guest in the zoo. Elephants here seem to like eating bananas very much and will take the initiative to stretch out their long trunks and sweep away the bananas in your hand. In free time, the elephants gather together, their noses intertwined, as if telling endless love words.

Further ahead is the Sea Lion Hall. Sea lions have streamlined bodies. Sea lions with flippers that can support their bodies are called "sea elves". Their fur is short and smooth, and their bodies are spindle shaped. They can only crawl or twist on land, which looks stupid, but they are very flexible in the water.

Jumping up from the water, somersaults back and back down, the graceful gesture almost makes you forget that it is not a fish. While making beautiful splash, the sea lions also won cheers from the children, and they all watched enthusiastically.

Mengxuan Kindergarten, face-to-face with Internet celebrity Mengpet

Before I came here, I heard that there is a museum in the zoo that interacts with top Internet celebrities, a parent-child fun world, and a large-scale cute pet leisure experience hall. Not only can you visit the animal babies in the nursery hall, they are naturally cute and naughty. The attitude captures your heart in minutes, and everyone is also itching to have a close contact with these cute little elves and feel the joy of intimate interaction with the little animals.

Cole ducks came to welcome the guests as soon as they came in. The white and tender Cole ducks are very noble. Their incubation and breeding conditions are very strict. They are petite. In addition to the crazy price, which makes people "move", it is probably the favorite of many people in their dreams.

There are also groundhogs, whose round eyes look very docile. It can be said to be the best "all sugar off the ice" this summer. When the groundhog stood with its hands open, it really hoped that it would scream "Ah--" in the next second.

Not to mention the cats here, there are many categories of cats in the Youngor Wildlife Park, and they are all top breeds. The goddess level beauty is instantly tempting. Whether it is Ragdoll cats, British Shorts or hairy Maine, you can all identify cats while sucking them here. Finally, I saw with my own eyes the Internet celebrities on YouTube and other videos. The cat climbing rack here is very big, and the welfare of cats is so good, and it is also very suitable for taking photos. The best thing is that they are very good and can hug them all you want ~

Entering from Mengxuan's bamboo forest is the Child Education Science Museum. The tigers in most people's impression must be their majestic tender-like flesh and the aura of tigers roaring in the mountains and forests. However, no matter how majestic they are in adulthood, they cannot conceal their cute appearance when they were young.

The tiger cubs and lion cubs in the nursery school have fleshy claws and are not afraid of people. They look straight at you and lie on the big doll, which makes pink bubbles of love appear in people's hearts. The way they smack and suck milk can really melt anyone. The small animals here are all taken care of by human mothers for various reasons, such as mothers who don't have breast milk or mothers who don't know how to take care of babies, or their individual health is not ideal when they are born. Therefore, every time, the animals here are actually different. Every animal you can meet here is really fate ~

Satisfied as they came out of the Mengxuan·Childcare Science Museum, they heard that there was a recently popular check-in point in front of them. Everyone immediately became interested and came to the Honey Valley non-stop.

Among the five-color feather clothes, among the hundreds of drunk singing flowers, you can not only feel the singing of birds in the jungle, but also experience the joy of childhood in the rainbow slides (limited to 120 kilograms, think about it yourself)~

Climbing up the stairs on the side, you will meet a lorikeet, which especially likes to eat apples. It jumps around on the fruit bowl in your hand, very cute. The key is that the appearance is really amazing. The feathers are dazzling and conspicuous like a Matisse painting. The body feels like it has been painted with God's paint. There are only color combinations that you can't imagine, and there is no beauty that nature has forgotten to give. The way it eats apples is also very cute. It pecks one after another. Sometimes it will suddenly tilt its head and look at you. What it wants is the inadvertent silly and lucid artousness. The breeder said that in fact, sucking the loriet is not eating the apple, but just sucking up the sweet juice in the apple. So that's the case...

The weather became worse and worse when I came out of the Honey Mining Valley, so I went to the Earthquake Science Popularization Experience Hall with my friends. During the break from the rain, let's take a look at the science education here. Parents who come with their babies should never forget to entertain and learn about earthquakes.

Many high-tech and many cute animal models have been introduced into the venue. When combined with the local Youngor Wildlife Park, you will never feel bored. There are many Mini games here to get started. Learn while playing. They not only let you understand the causes of earthquakes, but also teach you to take precautions. The models next to them are also very realistic.

After coming out of the Earthquake Science Popularization Experience Hall, I thought I had never seen a hippo yet, so I took my friends and wanted to see the "iron monster" here!

It is said that the hippo is regarded as an iron-headed monster in the animal kingdom. It has no natural enemies and lives a very happy life. One carrot is not enough. I don't know how much it can eat to satisfy it. It exudes a "brother is willful" temperament from top to bottom. The hippos have big mouths open, revealing four big teeth. You know, this is the largest mouth on land. Although it is fat, it is the fat under its skin that makes it float effortlessly.

Although the golden takin opposite the Hippo Pavilion carries cattle in its name, its teeth, horns, and hooves are closer to sheep. Its long hair hangs down and it walks leisurely on the stones and mud floor. Its golden-brown hair may look unattractive, but in fact it is the most underestimated potential stock-it is China's first-class protected animal, on the same footing as the giant panda, golden monkey, and crested ibis, and is one of China's four major national treasures.

If you talk about any animal that is pink and tender, the first thing that comes to my mind is flamingos. Flamingos not only have a perfectly curved neck, but also have pure colors. Coconut groves, islands, neon lights and pink flamingos are simply the standard features of the ins style today. The pink of the flamingos and the green of the trees collide, but there is no sense of separation. Instead, people can notice their combing of feathers and predation at a glance. The shadow of the flamingo is reflected on the water, presenting a symmetrical beauty with its original body.

Finally saw the national treasure giant panda

As China's national treasure, you certainly can't miss the opportunity to observe. All you need is to prepare the camera and then click, so the first stop the next day is the Giant Panda Pavilion.

There are two giant pandas in the Youngor Wildlife Park. One is called Yajun and the other is called Ajie. They are both girls. Among them, Yajun loves eating very much. Every day's meal time becomes a food broadcast scene, which is also an interesting thing. According to the breeder, Ajie is more adaptable, while Yajun is a little shy.

Ajie's posture is very, very natural, especially when he tilts his head and looks at you. Looking at it chewing, its bulging stomach slowly ups and downs, I somehow felt a burst of healing in my heart.

Self-driving boats are 100% exciting treasures

What you must not have expected is that the Youngor Wildlife Park has the first aquatic animal viewing tour line in China. Driving a battery cruise ship to shuttle across the lake, not only can you watch various small animals on both sides of the Taiwan Strait up close, but also interact closely with swans. Oh, maybe at a certain casual corner, you can bump into a cute little cute girl with her head tilted.

For me, the most special experience of this journey was Youngor's first waterway tour. Rent a cruise ship and drive yourself. In 30 minutes, I can not only see the small animals up close, but also take a panoramic view of the theme area from the waterway and enjoy the company of the surrounding swans. It is very suitable for couples to come.

While visiting, I also saw a very interesting scene-"Kangaroo Fight". These legs are strong and jump three feet high. The person opposite them is not willing to be outdone, and I jump as well. However, although the kangaroo is cute, it is very aggressive. Other kangaroos have long been used to doing their own thing.

We passed many islands along the way, and the one that impressed us most was Baboon Island. The rockery on Baboon Island is very high, and the baboons seem very small, but they somehow have the aura of being the Monkey King and looking down on the world. A clear close-up of a calm baboon was captured, with a red butt and long hair, like an old chief who enlightens Simba, the Lion King.

The gibbon shuttled through the woods in its own way, lightly holding the branch, throwing its body out, and wandering forward in the sky. Its movements were very fast, and only a handsome back was photographed. Unfortunately, this species is already highly endangered, with an estimated total of less than 350. It is not easy to see it again.

However, the black-caped hanging monkey is much easier to photograph. When it sees humans taking pictures, it still greets humans very spiritually. This animal is very smart. It can also hit nuts with stones and eat them. It looks very cute when it tilts its head and looks at you.

After returning from a self-driving boat, we also passed by the tiger area. Although we didn't see the tigers diving because of the rain, we could still feel their ferocious majesty from a distance.

During the two-day trip to Youngor, I met too many little cuties. I couldn't help but sigh with my little sisters that this June Day was finally complete!

Accommodation tips:

The choice for staying this time was Hampton Inn. The room was very designed, the carpet looked particularly atmospheric, and all the facilities were complete and clean. The most noteworthy thing is the large lawn surrounded by the hotel's glass building. Opening the windows makes one feel very comfortable and there are also small pavilions, benches, etc. for resting.
