Less visitors at Ueno Zoo

By Muza-chan on Apr 6, 2009 | In Japan travel | Send feedback »

Two years ago, when I visited the Ueno Zoo, I was amazed by the huge attraction that was the giant panda Ling Ling. To see him, I waited several minutes and it was so crowded that I could barely move (I was able to take some pictures though, but only from one angle).

I recently found out (via Japan Probe) that after the death of Ling Ling (of old age), the number of visitors at Ueno Zoo diminished greatly and the panda related merchandise isn’t selling anymore. I don’t really understand this reaction, the Zoo has a huge number of interesting animals and I’m looking forward to visit it again this summer.

Mai puţini vizitatori la Ueno Zoo

Acum doi ani, când am vizitat grădina zoologică din Ueno, am observat că marea atracţie este ursul panda Ling Ling. Ca să-l pot vedea, am aşteptat câteva minute la coadă şi nu am avut loc să mă mişc, nu am putut să fac fotografii decât dintr-un singur unghi.

Am aflat de la Japan Probe că după moartea lui Ling Ling (de bătrâneţe), numărul vizitatorilor de la grădină a scăzut mult, iar souvenir-urile cu panda nu s-au mai vândut. Nu prea înţeleg reacţia vizitatorilor, grădina are multe animale interesante, iar eu abia aştept să o vizitez din nou vara aceasta.
