The Zurich Zoo is the best zoo in the world
I've been back for several days, but I'm still reminiscing about the journey to Zurich Zoo!
You can take the No. 6 tram in the city center directly to the entrance of the zoo, which is very convenient.
Every animal in the zoo looks very happy
The living conditions are comfortable and clean, I want to live in
