As large numbers of tourists entered the park, West Rainbow Zoo welcomed its first visitors after renovation.
When visitors walked into the park with anticipation, the first thing that caught their eyes was the abundance of monkeys throughout the garden.
At first glance, the visitors thought they must be seeing things.
"Why are there so many monkeys here? Did they all break out?"
"Oh no, these monkeys are surely going to steal our things. Everyone, hold onto your bags and hide your food!"
"This is scary. I still have trauma from when monkeys at Mount Emei stole my stuff."
"Why are all these monkeys roaming freely?"
Just as the visitors were full of worry and doubt, what happened next surprised them completely.
They had expected the monkeys to actively beg for food from visitors, but instead, the monkeys remained indifferent even when people approached them.
Only when visitors actively offered food would the monkeys carefully consider whether to take it or not.
Such well-behaved demeanor instantly amazed the visitors.
But that wasn't all. When a female visitor dropped some trash on the ground, a small monkey with a heart-shaped face immediately picked it up and threw it into a nearby garbage bin.
Seeing this, the female visitor's face turned red with embarrassment.
What happened next completely overturned visitors' traditional understanding of monkeys.
Looking around, some monkeys were giving directions to visitors, some were helping entertain children, and one monkey even helped retrieve a runaway hydrogen balloon from a tree for a child.
Whether big or small, regardless of species, all the monkeys in the park were incredibly well-mannered.
Even the macaques, traditionally known as the most mischievous, had become adorable here.
More importantly, these monkeys weren't afraid of humans and showed no aggression, remaining calm even when visitors petted them.
"This is eye-opening! I thought all monkeys were like those at Mount Emei."
"Mount Emei monkeys be like: Great, now we have another comparison. Every time someone visits West Rainbow Zoo, we're going to get cyberbullied."
"Turns out monkeys are like humans - there are good ones and bad ones."
"These monkeys really seem to treat this place as their home."
"Could they be zoo employees too?"
"Maybe, just like the PAW Patrol!"
"Wow, this place is so lovely! Do you think one day other animals might also be released from their cages, just like these monkeys?"
"No, please! I'm not worried about the animals hurting people; I'm worried about people scaring the animals!"
"True, although the animals at West Rainbow Zoo are a bit unusual, they're very kind to humans."
"Let's go ahead and see what else there is."
Seeing the monkeys' behavior, visitors became even more excited about the upcoming areas.
Soon, the first group arrived at the former gorilla enclosure.
Unlike before, the gorilla enclosure had been transformed into a handicraft workshop.
The former "poop-thrower" who used to throw feces at visitors was now wearing denim overalls and sunglasses, holding a saw, looking every bit like a carpenter at work.
Before long, he had crafted a bamboo dragonfly toy.
When the poop-thrower handed this bamboo dragonfly to a child, everyone present felt a sense of unreality.
But before people could react, a slight smirk appeared on the poop-thrower's face.
The next second, he pulled out a large water gun made from bamboo tubes from behind his back, grinning as he sprayed water at the visitors, his face showing complete satisfaction with his prank.
"Run! We've been tricked - he's evolved!"
"Oh man, what is this? It's not pee, is it?"
"Eww..."
"We thought he had changed, but he's still the same old poop-thrower, just with a new twist, eww..."
After people finally escaped from the gorilla enclosure, the nearby monkey pavilion was bustling with activity.
Originally home to just one gibbon, it now housed several new faces from the city zoo.
There were yellow-cheeked gibbons, capped gibbons, black leaf monkeys, silver leaf monkeys, snub-nosed monkeys, and more.
Unlike the monkeys outside, these primates were gathered attentively around the gibbon Li Qiang, as if attending a class.
"Tsk tsk, these rare species are indeed different from the monkeys outside. The first thing they do in a new place is study."
"Yes, looking at them, they must be learning survival skills from their senior gibbon."
Just as everyone was admiring this scene, gibbon Li Qiang suddenly pulled out his small speaker.
As he pressed play, a familiar song by Ace of Spades started playing, and Li Qiang began dancing to the music.
The other monkeys quickly followed his example.
The visitors outside felt like they were about to cough up blood at this sight.
"They're definitely learning survival skills alright."
"Looks like they've understood that you need some special talents to survive in West Rainbow Zoo."
"The mighty Uncle Strong, who spent a week cleaning windows, has finally changed his playlist."
"Mystery solved! We thought it was some visitor who taught them, but it was the zoo director all along."
"Clearly, no animal at West Rainbow Zoo gets a free ride - they all earn their keep with their abilities."
After experiencing the two renovated venues, a large mushroom-shaped building appeared before the visitors.
At first, people weren't sure what this giant mushroom was for.
Then they saw the large characters on it:
Souvenir Shop
Instantly, the previously wandering visitors found their target and rushed toward the souvenir shop.
When they entered, they were immediately captivated by the merchandise on display.
Beyond the animal plushies that Yang Lin had previously shown, there were phone cases, cups, keychains, and themed clothing - every type of souvenir imaginable could be found here.
Each item was specially designed based on the zoo animals' likenesses, with top-quality craftsmanship and materials.
Photos of the corresponding animals could be found beneath each product.
This alone showed that Yang Lin had invested significantly in the venture.
The visitors could clearly see this, and these first arrivals began purchasing items enthusiastically.
As more visitors arrived, the souvenir shop became unprecedentedly busy.
While some visitors were browsing the souvenir shop, others had already moved on to explore other newly constructed areas of the park.
