Tianjin Zoo

From Tianjin station we headed to the Tianjin Zoo park first.

This is home to a single coaster although there was rumours that adults weren't allowed to ride it. No such issue for us as the ride operator was more than happy to let us ride. As an experience it was better than the same ride the day before but still hadn't beaten the first one we rode.

The ride is called....jungle mouse!


Next to the coaster is another set of those half pipe rides, which the group gave a go on. If you count these as coasters then you'll rapidly increase your count by visiting China, as most parks have them and they often come in groups.

Liking the bin. Feed me now!

Looks like fun but I knew I'd sink my ball.

Given the one-child law that exists in China I was curious what would happen if a couple had twins. Well based on this they don't insist on killing one of them :D

With a bit of time to kill I then checked out some of the animals, but they looked like most animals in zoos, bored.

075

Funnily enough the most active was the hippos who were chowing down on some grass laid out for them, usually these are the laziest of animals.

Rather strangely the park also has some dinosaurs, and no, they're not real.

"What do you think George?"
"I think we could take 'em Ron"

I wonder if this smiley was intentional?

Tianjin Zoo is in the South West of the city and well known to all taxi drivers. The ride is on the northern side central main island and sign posted from the entrances.
