Whole day is not enough to explore these vast and stunning gardens.

I was fortunate with the weather, it was raining heavily which made the scenery look like I’m in a real rain forest.

Make sure you visit the Orchid Gardens as that’s definitely the highlight of the whole gardens. (Entry fee $15 but absolutely worth it).

I have no words to describe how beautifully built and maintained these gardens are.
Beijing Zoo
2023 Oct 28
Went on Saturday which is probably a mistake on my part but I hated every second of it. The amount of people in there trying to see pandas and pushing themselves forward was giving me great anxiety. Lack of organisation just allows this stampede and people skipping each other. Not enjoyable.

Another thing is the navigation in the zoo. The info boards with map are so hard to follow. It took me almost an hour to figure out how to actually get to the panda entrance as the map just is not clear enough.

2 stars for the panda animals themselves but rest of the zoo is just a disaster to be honest 😢
