On a clear, sunny Sunday we headed to Ueno Park to visit Ueno Zoo. The zoo was actually not far from our house, so we could easily reach it by bike. (we love our bikes, so convenient!) We had a great time in the zoo, and want to give you an impression of our visit and show some of the photo's and video's we made.
The biggest attraction in the zoo are the two giant panda's Lili and Shinshin. From 2008 the zoo was without panda's (after the death of panda Ling Ling), and only since last year Lili and Shinshin are living in the zoo. Their popularity amongst the visitors is shown by the big queue that has formed in order to see see the panda habitat, and the amount of panda-themed souvenirs. During our visit the two panda's were actually just sleeping, and therefore unfortunately not very good to see.
The zoo has been renovating some of the habitats in the last years, which look great and are good living habitats for the animals. We had sometimes read that the zoo was old, with lots of small cages, but because of the renovations there are now nice, spacious habitats. Further the zoo has an exceptional large collection and great display of reptiles, birds and nocturnal animals.
We hope you enjoy watching our pictures and video's!
