If you don't visit Hongshan Forest Zoo now, you'll miss your chance! I really want to go!

It's located at No. 168 Heyan Road, Xuanwu District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, and the location is super easy to find. If we're leaving from home, taking Metro Line 1 to "Hongshan Zoo Station" and exiting from Exit 1, it's just a 400-meter walk to the North Gate – extremely convenient. For bus options, routes like 8, 54, and 64 all go directly to the North Gate. If driving, there's a parking lot at the North Gate charging 4 yuan per hour, but with only 600 spaces, you'll need to arrive early to secure a spot. After exploring the zoo, you'll definitely want a good meal. There are McDonald's and KFC near the North Gate, but if you're craving local specialties, don't miss Nanjing's duck blood vermicelli soup, salted duck, or plum blossom cakes. Just a short walk from the zoo, you'll find many authentic snack shops hidden in the nearby streets. If planning an overnight stay, there are plenty of hotels and guesthouses around. For those with ample budget, the Shangri-La Hotel Nanjing offers impeccable environment and service. For more budget-friendly options, consider chain hotels like Hanting – affordable yet comfortable. Hongshan Forest Zoo is absolutely worth visiting, home to over 3,000 adorable animals from 260+ species, including the viral internet-famous white-faced saki monkey "Dudu." The zoo is divided into three areas: Big Hongshan, Small Hongshan, and Fangniushan, with 85% green coverage – it's like stepping into the animals' lush paradise, bursting with vitality everywhere. Let's make plans to go soon!
