A brightly colored train captured their attention as soon as they walked in. “From the train, you can see the entire park. There are so many rides I’m really excited about,” exclaimed Jubdatul Arefin, from Bangladesh. He’s already picked out several rides, including the roller coaster and extreme drop, and plans to have a real adventure.

The Polar Pavilion is home to adorable penguins, cute sea lions, and agile polar bears. "I actually got to feed penguins in Hainan!" Josh Reid, a young man from Australia, donned a down jacket and entered the -3°C ‘polar environment’ to feed fish to the penguins. "This is so interesting! I think this place is perfect for everyone. Everyone can be healed by the animals and captivated by their beauty."
