Practical travel tips

Prepare for a smoother visit

What to bringNever feed or touch animals unless an approved facility explicitly permits it; keep voices and flash low.
Children and seniorsUsually family-friendly; verify stroller routes, indoor rest areas and the amount of walking.
PhotographyAvoid flash and barriers in the frame; a longer lens is more respectful than approaching wildlife.
Avoid this mistakeDo not place Hangzhou Botanical Garden between two inflexible transfers. Queues, weather and route changes are easier to manage with buffer time.
