Passing by the bear zoo, I thought I'd go in and take a look since I haven't seen it before. You can spend US$1 to buy food to feed the bears, including apples 🍎 toast 🍞 and lettuce 🥬. The portion is very small, so tourists can throw it down to feed the bears. It was my first time seeing a bear up close, and I was intimidated by its size. It was quite oppressive, especially when a brown bear stood up. You definitely don’t want to encounter one in the forest. There is also a cute animal area at the back of the park, which you will pass by before leaving. Although the bears seemed to be well taken care of, the environment was kept clean, and each area had a pool, I still felt a little sad to see them being kept in a small concrete floor and even exhibiting stereotyped behaviors. I hope they are properly accommodated.

The small town of Cherokee, located at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains, is the main residence of the Cherokee, a native people living in the southeastern United States. It is a cozy town. For those who are interested in Native American culture, you can visit the Museum of the Cherokee People, which introduces the culture and history of the Cherokee people and also exhibits various living utensils of theirs, which is very meaningful. Unfortunately, the museum is currently under renovation and only has a small exhibition hall with relatively few cultural relics. Those who are interested should make their own decisions.
