Kunming Zoo, also known as Yuantong Mountain Zoo, is located on Yuantong Mountain in the northeast of Kunming city. It currently displays more than 200 kinds of Yunnan specialty animals and rare animals from home and abroad, and is one of the top ten zoos and seven major zoos in the country. Every spring, the cherry and begonia here will bloom, which is very beautiful, and it is also a good place for Kunming people to enjoy cherry blossoms. The transportation here is convenient, you can take multiple buses or take the subway line 5 to get off at Yuantong Mountain, the ticket price is 20 yuan, friends who are interested can come and see.

| This 20 yuan is super value. In transit in Kunming, I wanted to find a place to daze, and suddenly found that the zoo only costs 20 yuan, so I decided to explore it. Kunming Zoo, also known as Yuantong Mountain Zoo, is located on Yuantong Mountain in the northeast direction of Kunming City and was established in 1953. 🌈Highlights: The entrance of the zoo is the gibbon pavilion. Most of the gibbons are very excited, climbing up and down on the chains to release energy. Although we reject animal performances, we cannot reject their insistence on performing . The gibbon's neighbor is the feline animal. The lynx is sleeping on the wooden board, and the children next to it have been knocking on the glass for a long time and it does not get up. The black leopard looks very tired, always lowering its head, while the leopard on the other side is always looking forward. At noon, most of the animals are lazy. The lions and tigers are not very active in business. The giraffes are always eating, and the deer and alpacas and other herbivores actively respond under the attraction of carrots and vegetable leaves in the hands of tourists. In addition, there are elephants, rhinos and other animals. Many herbivores can be fed. Many parents take their children to communicate with the animals, and the scene is very healing. 🚗Address and transportation: No. 92 Qingnian Road, Panlong District, Kunming City. 🎫Ticket information: 20 yuan. ✨Tips: There are many people going to the zoo, and there are many people queuing at the ticket office at the entrance. It is more convenient to book online in advance, and you can enter the park by scanning the code. The traffic around the day I went was a bit congested, and those who drive are advised to plan parking in advance.

1. Entrance: First, enter the zoo from the entrance, get the tickets and understand the map and guide information of the zoo. 2. Zoo area: Start touring the various zoo areas. You can first go to Monkey Mountain, watch various cute monkeys, and take pictures and check in. 3. Otter Garden: Then go to the Otter Garden, watch these cute otters, and understand their living habits. 4. Elephant Pavilion: Then go to the Elephant Pavilion, watch the elephant's performance and interactive session, and understand the elephant's living habits and protection situation. 5. Other zoo areas: Then you can visit other zoo areas, such as Tiger Garden, Lion Garden, Giraffe Garden, etc., to appreciate various rare animals. 6. Animal performance: Watch wonderful animal performances in the zoo, such as seal performances, bird performances, etc. Finally, leave from the exit of the zoo and end the happy journey!

Feeding a giraffe was brilliant, as was feeding the little birds, at a cost of 20 and 25 each. However, the enclosures for the animals are far too small and old, and the animals show high signs of stress by paying their enclosures. In that respect it is easily the worst zoo I've been to. Would rather pay more than the ¥20 entrance fee and see happier animals
