The Buddha&#39;s Palace is very shocking!!! Enter from the west gate and take the scenic sightseeing bus directly to the escalator to the Buddha&#39;s Palace, saving the hard work of climbing under the scorching sun! Older tourists can also come and pay homage!!!

I&#39;ve been to some zoos, but Hongshan is still worth a visit. You must go in the morning, first to avoid crowds, and second the animals are still active. Especially Dudu, very cute and special. But it depends on luck, it will twist and turn. If you are unlucky, you won&#39;t be able to see the front.
