This was easy to use and no need to exchange for a paper ticket. The place itself is all worth the visit. You get much of what you are paying for. It is a holy place and the views are stunning and somewhat unique, nothing like other places I&#39;ve visited. It was raining when  I visited the place but the views are still great. Will definitely need at least half day to explore the palace area or a whole day to explore the whole mountain.

Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo

Family-friendly Attractions

魔神是我生的

If you can overlook Nanjing&#39;s inherently scorching summer heat, Hongshan Forest Zoo will surely delight you beyond imagination. It transcends the realm of caged animals and instead resembles an animal utopia brimming with love and respect.

This truly transcends animal welfare. Each exhibit area isn&#39;t simply a display of animals; it&#39;s a meticulously crafted home for them. In the primate area, you&#39;ll find monkeys swung freely on overhead ropes on an &quot;aerial cable car.&quot; In the bear area, you&#39;ll find artificial waterfalls and nectar plants, allowing them to exhibit their natural foraging and climbing behaviors. The animals&#39; lively eyes, diverse behaviors, and sleek fur&mdash;their excellent condition&mdash;are testament to the care and attention the zoo has put into its operations.

The scenic area is large, but it&#39;s easy to walk around for most of the day, and there are some nice views along the way. If you visit all the paid attractions, I recommend buying a combined ticket, but even then, the price/performance ratio is still not high, especially for the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, which is more expensive than the Forbidden City during peak season, which is really unjustified.

It&#39;s definitely worth a visit, and I recommend going in the afternoon to avoid missing the lights, which are incredibly beautiful! Finally, if you want to get stamps, I recommend bringing a larger book, as the combination stamps are a bit large. I gave up on my stamp collection because my book was a little small, so I didn&#39;t get the results I wanted.
