PANDA Experience in Taiyuan Zoo, Shanxi Province, China

Hello everyone! So today i will be sharing our visit to Taiyuan Zoo! Its near our apartment and im so happy since we both love animals. Here are some photos I took during our visit.  you can also check our video compilation as well below

It was really a massive place. we went there 10 am and got out by 5 pm! its crazy and there are a lot of visitors since it was a holiday. we spent 40 yuan total ( 260 pesos or around $6) to see all the animals and if you also want to feed bears or any other animals you just need to buy their food at the entrance and you can enjoy feeding them! It was truly an amazing experience,

Here are some of the photos i took during our visit

Rating: To be honest this is a very nice zoo with a lot of exotic animals. there are plenty of food stalls and they also have transportation inside as well (which we didnt avail because its kinda pricey) There will be a lot of walking involved so be prepared for that. The pandas are really adorable since there are really a few places in the world where you can find them so that is once thing off my bucket list. Its really nice to see Red Pandas (very low population in the wild) since they look like an orange racoon, giraffes, rhinos and many more african safari animals. Its really a day well spent! the place is clean and orderly. they also have seating scattered it almost all areas so you can rest. 

So that is the end of this blog post i hope you guys enjoy the videos and photos as well.

xoxo,
