Chime Long Night Zoo and Hotel

The day earlier R suggested to got o Chime Long Night Zoo (长隆夜间动物世界) and we went there at around 5pm after coming back from Guangzhou.

(1) Accident

The first program of the trip was a car accident that blocked our way. Somehow the car lied on the right lane and many cars including ours decided to take an alternate path.



(2) Animals...

Frankly speaking, I wasn't too impressed by the animals at the zoo but given that I haven't been to similar places for a while, I didn't mind spending time touring. They also offered train tours and the tour guide introduced animals coming from different parts of the world. The animals were quite active when we had the night tour at around 9pm.



(3) Show 1

There was a dancing show at around 5pm. I didn't stay through the whole show and just watched for 5 minutes. As shown in the picture on the right below, some guys were doing serious recording...



(4) Show 2

There was a very large stage for a featured night show. I wasn't sure if the stadium was full but there were lots of people. The visual effects were pretty good.



(5) Chime Long Hotel

Finally N suggested to visit the Chime Long Hotel. Judging from the appearance, it's a great hotel and it's worth spending a night or two. We chose to have a late supper which costed 60++ yuan each. They re-filled the hot dishes with different varieties and I would say the price is reasonable.

From the restaurant inside, we could see two white tigers which were kept a glass cage. Therefore, it's interesting to find that you could almost tough the tigers.
