บท 136: Chapter 702: Seasonal Beauty, Snowy Bamboo Forest
With approval from higher authorities, the zoo's area was expanded to 500,000 square meters.
Having a larger area is certainly a good thing, but it doesn't necessarily reflect the quality of the zoo.
For example, the London Zoo only covers 150,000 square meters.
Despite its small size, it doesn't have large activity areas and has largely given up on displaying large animals like elephants, with the largest animal being the giraffe.
However, the information density is very high, making it a compact and exquisite zoo where visitors can stop and carefully observe each exhibit, taking an entire day to explore.
Not only are the animals well-cared for, but the environment is beautifully arranged, and the educational content is rich.
Some wildlife parks, although large in area, lack educational content and purely focus on animal viewing.
The enclosures are poorly designed, often just concrete and steel, wasting space. Some even house a large number of tigers together, misleading visitors into thinking tigers are social animals, which doesn't make for a good zoo.
Although Linhai Zoo's area has increased significantly, Fang Ye plans to build it steadily and continue on the path of creating a high-quality zoo.
...
Time passed day by day!
By mid-November, temperatures gradually dropped, and autumn truly arrived.
The rhino exhibit was completed and ready to open, and some areas of the zoo were preparing to create snow, transforming into beautiful winter scenes.
Golden pheasant exhibit, snow monkey exhibit, and the giant panda exhibit!
Visitors could now see seasonal scenes of snow monkeys and capybaras soaking in hot springs.
Linhai Zoo's official account posted the news.
After class, Rain Palace Xin saw the latest article and got excited!
"Wow, snow monkeys in hot springs! That must be interesting."
Earlier in October, a cold front moved south, bringing two bouts of rain and dropping temperatures in Linhai by several degrees.
Unexpectedly, the temperatures started rising again shortly after!
Just a few days ago, the weather was still unbearably hot.
This year's "Double Eleven" shopping festival by major e-commerce platforms started early on October 20. Rain Palace Xin, learning about this unique Chinese event for the first time, couldn't resist buying lots of beautiful autumn and winter clothes!
With such great discounts on cosmetics, she bought them all!
She even bought a gift for her father—a suit tie!
By the end of the month, she realized she had spent a lot of money without noticing.
"Tricky Chinese people!"
She was eagerly waiting to wear her new clothes in winter, but it was already November, and the weather was still hot, like summer. Wearing long sleeves to the cafeteria made her sweat, let alone wearing scarves or knitwear.
She had never seen such weather before and asked her classmates. They said Linhai's climate wasn't usually this hot!
Typically, autumn would start by mid-October.
In the past, Rain Palace Xin wouldn't have thought much about it, but now that she frequently visited the zoo and had a heightened awareness of environmental issues, she couldn't help but worry. Was this due to global warming? Extreme weather seemed to be more frequent now.
"Sigh, I'm just an ordinary college student. Let the scientists worry about these things."
With the temperatures dropping, she could finally wear her beautiful new clothes.
She asked her classmate, "Anzi, do you want to visit the zoo this weekend? The zoo has unlocked the snow scene this week! We can also see snow monkeys soaking in hot springs!"
Anzi, a cute girl with a round face, smiled and said, "Sure, that sounds great! Hey, aren't you inviting your boyfriend?"
Rain Palace Xin seriously replied, "We're just friends, don't say things like that!"
Seeing Rain Palace Xin's serious expression, Anzi stuck out her tongue, "Sorry, sorry! Just kidding!"
As a pretty girl, Rain Palace Xin was never short of admirers!
She was naturally sensitive to matters of romance.
Liu Wei often chatted with her and showed interest in various ways, undoubtedly indicating his feelings for her.
However, Rain Palace Xin didn't feel the same way about Liu Wei. Although she thought he was nice, he didn't attract her.
Liu Wei confessed to her while they were visiting the zoo, but Rain Palace Xin, not interested in stringing him along, directly rejected him: "Sorry, you're a good person!"
Liu Wei's romantic pursuit ended before it began, and he was too embarrassed to ask her to the zoo again.
So now, Rain Palace Xin usually invited Anzi to go with her.
...
Today, Rain Palace Xin wore a light pink inner layer, a white felt coat, and a white scarf!
Her gentle and healing style made her look very endearing.
Rain Palace Xin and Anzi, of course, headed straight to the panda exhibit first.
Japanese people love pandas, and although she had seen them countless times, she still couldn't get enough!
Each visit yielded many interesting panda photos.
The entire Wolong Bamboo Sea exhibit was covered in snow.
The bamboo forest was blanketed with thick snow, with no footprints, and the snow on the paths was swept to the sides.
The bird calls seemed less lively than usual, adding to the serene atmosphere, making it feel like a secluded paradise where sages might live!
White snowflakes rested on the bamboo branches and leaves, bending the branches but not hiding the vibrant green, making the scene even more lively and beautiful.
The vast expanse of pure white snow, contrasted with the green bamboo, created a dreamy feeling.
Rain Palace Xin couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
She walked to the bamboo leaves by the path, cupped her hands underneath, and gently blew.
Instantly, sparkling snowflakes fell, landing on her palms and bringing a slight chill.
In such an environment, walking with someone you like would be incredibly romantic.
Anzi stepped on the accumulated snow by the path.
Immediately, a big footprint appeared on the soft snow.
Rain Palace Xin teased, "How could you step on such beautiful snow!"
Anzi proudly said, "Hehe, what's there to be hesitant about? I love snow the most! Snowball fights, building snowmen, and the 'crunch crunch' sound of stepping on snow with hard-soled shoes are the best!"
She regretfully added, "I wish our school would create some snow. I'm really good at building snowmen! I once built a small round one at school and wanted to build a Tang Keke this year if I had the chance!"
Rain Palace Xin was surprised, "I didn't know you had that skill!"
She thought for a moment and said, "Linhai's weather isn't very cold in autumn. Creating so much snow must have cost the zoo a lot! If you want to build a snowman, you can ask the handlers if you can build a giant panda here."
Anzi's eyes lit up, "That's a great idea!"
Chatting away, they arrived at the golden pheasant forest.
