The animals did look happy though. I think they would have been bored if they did not have exercise and interact with humans once they are in the zoo type environment. It seemed like they were proud to perform to an appreciative audience. The eagerness and the expressions on their faces seemed genuine even though I too feel bitter sweet about it. During the pandemic when no humans came to the zoo, the animals got very depressed and bored. I remember going to Canada and they had a place where some birds were able to mingle with people and they really liked the attention. Some of them would follow certain people after interacting with them. I think lions and big animals like that should be in the wild but more interactive and social animals can do well with humans but naturally it’s best to leave them alone unless they are disabled or rescued and cannot thrive in the wilderness.
Yes, I agree with you. Some animals do need socialization and interaction. But for big animals, they need to be in their natural habitat, where they are free to roam anywhere. When we had the Covid lockdown, i think many ppl realized how tough it is to stay confined at home, and I think, it's the same for animals. Seeing the same 4 walls everyday can turn you crazy, but on the other hand, they got unlimited food... hard to tell if they are truly happy or not 🥲
Thank you so much U-Ming 🥺 happy new year to you too! I wish the best to you and your family, thank you for always showing up, it means the world to me 😭💕
Happy new year! Just wanted to say thank you for all your wonderful vlogs, you have really inspired me to explore Guangdong and Hong Kong more after moving here ^^
Thank you so much dear for your message 🥺. I am so happy my videos was useful to you, it makes my heart full ❤️. Guangdong and Hong Kong has a lot to offer, can’t wait for you to explore it all 😘
Awwww thank you so much 🥹 i am very touched by your message 🫶🏻 i started a new job and have been busy with it, but I still have so many content to share! Please stay tuned 🥺❤️
@@VirginiaPalette don't forget we are waiting 😏. Excited to see queen back in the game ☺️. Stay safe and happy. Sending you lots of love and strength to balance your new journey 💗
Happy New Year 2024 Jane! Yes, Chinese New Year is very soon, but it doesn’t feel it in the mainland yet, at least not where I am (yet). I will try to post more videos this year 🥺 thank you for your patience and for watching ❤️
Chimelong is nice but not as good as DisneyLand i guess the storyline of Disney is stronger with many heroes that we love before going there to buy toys and other object !
next vid in harbin ice festival? lol in US we have sea world n i get what u meant about free animal but the ones that were born in zoo would not survive in the wild... Happy yr of the dragon 2024 🌹
No Harbin unfortunately. I wish I can go there, i haven’t been there and it seems super fun, but I heard on the news that there are 3-4 hours of queue for every activity 😅 and it only lasts a month. Too short time for too many people. Regarding the animals in the zoo, yes i agree with you. They wouldn’t survive, but for those who got caught in their natural habitat, it must be horrible to die in a cage… it’s so sad 😞 But anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024 of the Dragon 🥳🎊
I'm glad you came to visit my hometown and had a good time...Happy Chinese New Year :) I learned from my family that apparently my maternal great-grandfather actually served in the Kuomingtang army, and he was a graduate of 黄埔军校. But after the civil war ended, he was arrested by the Red Army and got executed, then my grandfather being the oldest son in the family ended up joining the Red Army in order to save his family from being blacklisted by the newly formed government.
Thank you for sharing your story ! It must have been horrible back then. My grand parents don’t support the Red Army as well because of the big starvation they brought to the Chinese people. But when you have nowhere to go, you can only join the « enemy » and adapt. Anyway, it was the right thing to do in order to survive :) thank you for sharing this personal story again! Happy Chinese New Year to you too! 😘
