However, as every experience traveler knows, sometimes finding local flavor of a region can be misleading. Unique aspects of a particular culture can be obscured by artificial attractions which, if we are not careful, can cause us to lose all the time we have available for that trip.
Beijing Zoo, Beijing, China
Although the history of zoos dates from the Myng dynasty days it was not open to the public than in 1908, was called Garden of 10,000 animals. Despite its name, garden failed to attract many visitors in the first half of the century, perhaps because at one point only exhibits were 12 monkeys, two parrots and a blind emu.
Zoo underwent renovations and was reopened in 1950, and since then have improved and the number of exhibits, and the visitors.
