Back to see the pandas at Zoo Berlin! I never got to see the first-born twins of Germany while they were still living at the Zoo (but I’ve been lucky to see them in China), which was a bit sad, so I was keen to make sure I got to see the second-born twins of Germany while they were still cubs! Honestly such a great decision and we (my mum and I) had a fantastic weekend trip at Zoo Berlin! You can check out my 2018-2020 trip photos in my first post on pandas at Zoo Berlin *here*
The Frozen franchise is one of my favourites – so the worlds first themed land, the WORLD OF FROZEN, deserved it’s own post! This land was definitely a deciding factor in making a return visit to Hong Kong Disneyland within a year of my first visit – I was first there 6 months after the opening of the new land on my May 2024 trip, and had such a great time that I then returned just after the 1st anniversary on my February 2025 trip. Let’s get on in to this fantastic land:
Third Disney Resort ticked off! I ended both my May 2024 and February 2025 trips with a stop in Hong Kong and I just had to make a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland given that I was there already … and I LOVED it! On my first trip, I went for almost 2 full days, staying 2 nights at the Disney’s Explorers Lodge on site, on my second trip I made it a daytrip from the city – and had a great time on both occasions. I even have a third trip planned, it really has become one of my obsessions XD I loved the World Of Frozen so much and took so many pictures that that’s going to be a separate post, but onto the rest of the park!
This time on my trip to Ocean Park I made it around the whole park to check all the other animals and attractions out – last time I only went around the Waterfront section, this time I took the train up the mountain to the Summit section. Even though I’m not big on rides, it was still worth making the short trip here (the train only took maybe 5mins, and I hardly had to wait any time for it at all) for the amazing views and also some more animals!
And of course, can’t forget about the sweet new family of 4 living at Ocean Park – dad Le Le 乐乐, mum Ying Ying 盈盈and new baby twins, older sister Jia Jia 加加 and younger brother De De 得得! I was so happy to visit Hong Kong last year and had a great time visiting Le Le and Ying Ying, they gave me a fantastic panda viewing experience. I was overjoyed to hear Ying Ying had become a first-time mum at 19 and twins at that^ I timed my visit unknowingly perfectly, and visited just a few days after the twins were on show to the public for the first time so I got to see them too!
