A noble effort although some of the activities like throwing live chickens and live animals to be fed to the tiger as part of a tour (visitors need to pay for the chickens) have created a fair share of controversies.<\/p>\n<p>We were at the park early in the morning, braving the cold temperature of around -25 degrees Celsius. Getting there was as simple as pointing the photo of a Siberian Tiger on my phone to the taxi driver. \u00c2\u00a0We even decided to charter the same taxi driver for our return journey.<\/p>\n<p>Admission is CNY90 inclusive of the bus ride.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/3108.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/3108-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"3\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/3108-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/3108-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/3108-1080x607.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/3108.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes a bus ride. The main portion of this attraction is enjoyed on a 20-30 minutes bus tour. At this Siberian Tiger Park, most of the tigers are able to roam freely within the boundary of the park while visitors are caged up in buses to enjoy the sight of the tigers. Just like a Safari experience except instead of being on top of sexy Safari jeep, you got to be in a stuffy mini bus.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the extremely cold weather outside and warm ambiance inside the bus, the windows were all fogged up making photography and even viewing quite a challenge. But for those who know me, I would work hard to get the best shots, even if if have to continuously wipe the windows.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/479.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/479-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"SONY DSC\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/479-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/479-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/479-1080x718.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/479.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The bus travels into different sections of the park that showcases different types of tigers at different age groups.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/570.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/570-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"SONY DSC\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/570-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/570-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/570-1080x718.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/570.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t take long before we saw our first tiger.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/670.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-21502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/670-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"SONY DSC\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/670-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/670-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/670-1080x718.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/670.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Slowly we were surrounded by more tigers with not less than 6 tigers at one time.
