Zoos are often favourite places for parents with kids, but they've also won the hearts of young people in China recently, making the "zoo walk" a popular activity among the young.
These days, zoos nationwide have experienced a huge increase in daily visitors compared to before. The top places include Beijing Wildlife Park, Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, Shanghai Wild Animal Park and Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park. Each zoo's related hashtag(话题标签) has got over millions of views online, and the hashtag "zoo" has reached nearly 2 billion views. Animal stars are a major draw for young people visiting zoos. Many zoos are recording interesting videos of their animals and sharing them on social media. Some of these animals become quite popular. At Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo, for example, a white - faced monkey named Du Du, known for its ugly appearance but good character, has become a major local attraction.
