The entrance is decorated with a beautiful ATM machine, which is a recent addition in China. While the zoo may not be as grand as the Lion and Tiger Mountain in Beijing Zoo, it is charming and every area has corresponding animal models and cute signs. There is also a circus-like performance area at the entrance, as well as a cave for nocturnal animals with interesting murals. Additionally, the park has a large restaurant and small stalls selling food, drinks, toys, and souvenirs, with transparent pricing. The staff were seen bathing a newly born donkey, which was very adorable. The low fences in this zoo bring animals closer to visitors and there is a wide variety of species. The elephant-shaped ATM machine is particularly cute, and the Brazilian turtles are raised in the lake, looking very majestic.
