You can pet them freely; their fur feels a bit like a kiwi.

The deer are very greedy and will follow you as long as you have food. There are also free-range peacocks. · ✅ Raccoon Lounge The giant dome installation on the grassland is very photogenic. Inside are several raccoons, including a "chubby" one who is adorably clumsy because he’s too fat to climb onto the platform… · ✅ Cattle and Horse Grassland Ranch A dreamy collaboration between working cattle and horses and real ones. There are herds of cows and sheep, very soothing, plus a miniature train. Don’t miss the peacock release at 2:30 PM; watching the peacocks descend the mountain is spectacular. · ✅ Heartbeat Amusement Park Many thrilling attractions inside, including a skywalk, glass plank road, and glass slide. Come here on weekends to release stress, playing and shouting at the same time. · ✔️ Tips 1 The park is large; it’s recommended to take the shuttle bus. Also, remember to wear comfortable shoes. ✔️ Tips 2 Bring mosquito repellent and anti-itch lotion; the forest has fierce mosquitoes. ✔️ Tips 3 It’s best to come in the morning because the animals finish their day early.
