Today was an entirely free day, and we headed out to the Guangzhou Safari Zoo. This is one of the best zoos in my experience. The highlight is the safari park. You board a little train/bus and drive through the animal exhibits. Apart from the predators, the animals are roaming freely about. It is so cool to see a herd of giraffes wander by, or camels in the middle of the road. This photo gives you a sense. I can only imagine how amazing a real African safari must be.
And a gratuitous cute baby hippo shot:
There's also a regular zoo in addition to the safari park. The zoo is very nice, with natural habitats for the animals and no stinkiness. They have a couple of exhibit highlights.
One - Pandas and lots of 'em. Super cute.
Two - White tigers - 130 white tigers live here, over 50% of the entire population in the world
Three - "The world's only and cutest koala twins" - Seriously, all koalas look alike. How can you tell that they are twins?

What a terrific zoo! Wish I could see it some day, too. Did you notice the Chinese graffiti on the bamboo canes? It's only a few hours now until you're on your way home. Best wishes for a safe journey to all of you AND to your parents, who are going to be braving a major winter storm.
Love,
Nana
