China Trip – Day 5

December 19th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Trips

I read about this Siberian Tiger Park, so I “insisted” on going, since we didn’t have a chance to see the ice festival. Turns out, the trip to the tiger park was SPECTACULAR!  The tigers are free roaming, barricaded by metal fences.  We were in a bus, but the tigers can come up right next [...]
