N visits to Guangzhou Zoo, and here is a babysitter-level guide

It's not that I can't afford to go to Chimelong, but Guangzhou Zoo is really cost-effective! CNY 20 of happiness! No kid doesn't like going to the zoo, and my kid is especially keen on feeding animals. Here are some tips from my three visits! 📍Guangzhou Zoo 🔴Opening hours: 8:00–18:00 🔺Tickets: CNY 20 for adults, CNY 10 for students/children Free for seniors over 65 and children under 1.2 m 🚇Subway: Huanghuagang Station on Line 6 (near the North Gate) Zoo Station on Line 5 (near the South Gate) 🅿️Parking: There are parking lots at the South Gate and North Gate, but you have to arrive early to get a spot (see image 18 for detailed parking tips) ✅Route (enter from the North Gate): Orangutans - Bears - Leopards - Tigers - Hippos - Koi - Birds - Elephants - Pandas - Giraffes - Zebras - Rhinos - Kangaroos - Alpacas - Playground - Flamingos - Swans - Exit from the South Gate 💌Tips: 1️⃣You have to queue for the Panda House, and there are fewer people if you go early (9:30–17:30) 2️⃣Go in the morning to see the tigers and lions, as they take a nap in the afternoon and rarely come out 3️⃣The Koi Garden is a great place for photos, and the light is good from 4 to 5 pm 4️⃣For those who love feeding animals, feeding giraffes costs CNY 20 per portion 5️⃣There are snack and drink stalls in the park, but the prices are a bit high, so you can bring some water and snacks 6️⃣If you're taking kids, it's best to arrive early to get a parking spot and avoid the crowds, as it gets very busy from noon on holidays
