This zoo differs from all other zoos by enlivening your visit with muzak! Thanks to an ingenious sound system there is no escaping! You will hear music everywhere along the hiking trails, in all the animals' enclosures (such as in the aquarium, the fantasy enclosure of the Pandas, or in the "elephant crate" and of course in the factory hall of the Gorillas), of course in all restaurants, the shops ... in short, both indoors and outdoors, you get the feeling that you have ended up in a kind of amusement park instead of a zoo. In any case, that sound knit makes a special contribution to your experience of nature in general and viewing the animals in particular! What was also special ... the full and full spraying of the plants with er ... artificial snow. A kind of styrofoam that also easily adheres to clothing and under your shoes ...
This zoo has definitely attracted a crowd-puller with the Pandas, but I think it's completely gone to present itself as a Chinese amusement park.
