Beijing Zoo
Overview: Okay, if you want to see some cute panda bears (and grizzlie bears) and exotic animals, the Beijing Zoo is the place. I was not into pandas until I went to the Beijing Zoo and saw them. Pandas are big, round, furry, lumbering, lazy and cute as all heck. The zoo also features grizzly bears and polars. Other exotic animals include Manchurian tigers, red pandas and the dama wallaby.
