Tianjin Zoo
By INTIANJIN | 7/2/2004 10:50:49 PM

Tianjin zoo has quite a collection of animals. Hippos, Rhinos, a giraffe, tigers, bears, reptiles, monkeys, osterichs, raindeer, yaks, zebra, tonnes of birds and more. If you haven't seen hippos or rhinos up close they are really big.

The zoo is located near Hua Cheng hotel. Chinese for zoo is dong wu yuan, give that to your taxi cab driver. The zoo costs 20RMB or 30RMB to enter. The 30RMB lets you see more. We paid 20RMB and saw almost everything. Once you've paid you'll still be asked to pay further to see certain animals. The reptiles cost 20RMB to see. The circus show is 4RMB and to see the majority of the birds you have to pay a fee to enter the large bird sanctuary part.

On a sadder note they have a bear cub which they force to ride a bike and do other tricks for people. It looks so horrible, the poor thing is skinny and has chains on it and moans as its doing its paces. Its cruel and horrid to see but other than that the zoo is cool.

They have a water park beside the zoo with carnival rides. I didn't bother going in. All I know is you can't go on the ferris wheel, its closed permanently due to a fatality.


Tombs of Qing Dynasty
By INTIANJIN | 7/2/2004 10:23:45 AM

The tombs of the Qing Dynasty are amazing. The tombs themselves are underground and built of beautiful stone and are original and unaltered. The tombs have coffins of the kings/queens and concubines in them but nothing more. Above each tomb is a palace. The palaces are in great condition and most have been restored to some degree. The landscape has other awesome temples and palaces to behold too. The queen who built the summer palace in Beijing rests in a tomb here.
The Qing tombs are located in Ji Xian of Tianjin.
