🔸Least recommended time to visit: Around 11 or 12 noon. It's best to see other animals first and then visit the Panda House after 1 pm because there is a feeding session at 10:30 am, after which the pandas usually take a nap.

I decided to go to the north on a business trip and wanted to see the three princes, but he was too red and the queue was inevitable. In the afternoon, it may be more to eat, so I can only watch the food on the side. It is said that there are more morning exercises in the morning, and I will come back next time. The panda is so cute around, a little bit unable to move. Other by the way, just look at it
Like most Zoos it's a mixed bag. Some of the animals, such as the Pandas, are well looked after but the Grizzly Bear and white tiger show signs of distress. One of the pandas was clearly playing to the camera, it was hilarious
One of the interesting Zoo I have been able to see) huge area for walking and a lot of interesting places to see, not only panda but also other animals.
The garden is relatively large, it is recommended to bring some food, the Giant Panda Hall must go to check in, there are more people to see the star giant panda, you need to queue up, the Panda Hall: The Panda Hall is on the right hand side of the main entrance of the zoo. After entering the Panda Hall, queue up at the Menglan Sports Ground to see Menglan, each wave of people is limited to 5 minutes. Pandas are the most active in the morning, usually at 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning. You can see eating and broadcasting, and you can also see pandas playing treasure. The home of the national treasure giant panda is cute and cute, super cute! If you want to go to Beijing Zoo to see Ximen San Prince-Menglan, you can choose 8:30-10:30 or 13:30-16:00 these two time periods. The probability of seeing Menglan outdoor activities in these two time periods is greater. If you want to enjoy Menglan in a better location, it is recommended to go to the Panda Hall in advance to have the Asian Games Hall and the Olympics.
For Menglan, the second brush north. As soon as I entered the zoo, I rushed directly into the panda hall. At two o'clock, the outdoor pandas were mostly resting. So go to order a cup of coffee first. The staff started cleaning at almost three o'clock, and the pandas came out for business in a while. I saw Mengda, Meng II, Mengmeng, and finally saw Menglan at four o'clock. Very perfect trip.
The last time I went to the Spring Festival, there were too many people. Now there are very few. It’s really good to see animals, and one person can watch it for a long time. Uploaded because there are many people and many animals have not seen it, this time I saw it really.
The zoo is not big, the route is not complicated, the panda hall is crowded, specially for the three princes, and there is no disappointment. The healing ability of the other small animals is invincible. Other small animals are also cute. The monkeys are especially more. One thing is to mention, the tigers, lions, and polar bears in the Lion Tiger Garden are very pitiful. Very thin and dirty, not to go in on a hot day, the door is closed, can only be outside, there is a northeast tiger looking stereotyped, around the venue circled
🐼🌞 It’s not easy to hang around in the north and want to see Menglan. 🍃🌸🎋🌼 On the last day of the Qingming Festival holiday, the spring is bright and the blue sky and white clouds are very suitable for visiting the Beijing Zoo. 🌞🌤🐼🏰 Beijing Zoo is the favorite place for most Beijing children from childhood, but the impression of the previous North Movement is not so hot now. 🔥🎈🌟🎉 It can be said that the North Movement can be favored by many tourists in the country, and even attract locals to "revisit the old place", mostly thanks to Menglan. 🐼💖🚀🎈 Menglan relied on the bizarre experience of "jail escape" a few years ago, successfully attracted the attention of the whole network of netizens, and got the title of "Xizhimen Three Princes". 👑🌟🐼🏟 So now the Panda Hall has become the most lively venue in Beidong, and tourists usually come here to queue up when they enter the zoo gate. 🚶♀🚶♂🎫🕰 Queued into the panda hall. If you want to see Menglan, you have to queue for a longer team. Before putting people in batches to Menglan's pavilion, each batch can only watch for a few minutes. ⏳💼📏⏰ Moreover, the billboard said it was very clear that Menglan wanted to "open" when it was in the mood, that is, it was not necessarily possible to see Menglan "whole work" after queuing. 🎭🎬😴🐼 For example, today, starting at more than nine o'clock, I was in front of the Menglan's pavilion for an hour. I saw Menglan eating quietly through the gap in the bamboo forest, and then waited until I was in front of the pavilion, but Menglan had already hidden in the corner and slept with a blindfold. 💤🌙
