Today we left the city with Ann and her wonderful family on an outing to the countryside. Considering that the population of Guangzhou and its suburbs is ~11.5 million, it took us a while to actually get to our destination: a zoological facility known as Safari Park (a cross between a zoo, a wild animal park and Lion Country Safari). Steve and I were both reluctant to visit this place fearing what we might see, but thankfully, it seemed ok. Generally speaking, the animal enclosures were large and the overall theme of the park seemed genuinely geared towards conservation. It was an interesting place and the kids had a fun time. We picnicked, fed giraffes, saw 10 pandas close-up and I held a 1-month old tiger kitten. |
