Take a look at nostalgic cultural stories

Half-day tour of Dalian Forest Zoo🍂 A perfect place to bring kids close to nature! As the "green lung" of the old industrial city in Northeast China, Dalian Forest Zoo is definitely a great weekend destination for families with kids! The zoo features Chinese-style animal pavilions scattered throughout, and in the golden autumn, ginkgo leaves cover the stone paths, making every photo look like a vintage art film～ 📍Recommended tour route 1️⃣ Main entrance → Panda Pavilion The adorable national treasure is always the star! It's best to go right when the park opens to avoid crowds and catch the keepers feeding them. 2️⃣ Predator Zone → Small Animal Village The Northeast Tiger exhibit recreates the Changbai Mountain ecosystem, then head to the cute Small Animal Village to feed the alpacas. 3️⃣ Ecological Bird Pavilion → Primate Area Colorful parrots will perch on your shoulder for photos, and the orangutans in Monkey Mountain are great at posing. 📌Useful information 🎫Tickets: 98 RMB for adults (discount available if booked on Trip.com one day in advance) ⏰Hours: September to October, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM (last entry at 3:00 PM) 🚌Transportation: Bus routes 525/529 go directly to the South Gate 💡Tips: 1. The park offers stroller rentals, a blessing for families with kids 2. Feeding animals requires purchasing special feed (10 RMB per portion) 3. Autumn and winter visits are best around midday when animals are more active Seeing a grandmother feeding a deer with her granddaughter in the park suddenly reminded me of kneading dough with my grandma in the countryside when I was a child. This warm interaction between people and nature might just be the true meaning of a zoo’s existence～
