After the first batch of trial visitors left, Yang Lin kept watching the backend of the official website. He watched for a long time but there was no reaction.
"What's going on? Not a single feedback from 500 people? That shouldn't be right."
"Aren't there any bugs or unreasonable aspects?"
Before long, Yang Lin began to doubt himself.
In his opinion, although he had planned Animal City for a long time, because there were no human staff inside, some problems were bound to occur.
This was also the reason why he arranged this trial operation.
But from the current situation, the tourists seemed to have no opinions at all.
Just as Yang Lin was racking his brains, the tourists who had returned to their respective accommodations had already started writing lengthy posts.
There was no way to share photos or videos, but they wanted to share what they saw and heard in Animal City today, so they could only do it by writing long posts.
Jin Ming, a well-known travel blogger on Xiaohongshu, was one of them.
As a local of Nanning, she had successfully obtained the qualification to experience Animal City with her over five million followers online.
It had been nearly an hour since she returned home, but the document on her computer desktop was still blank.
She could usually finish a travel post in an hour, but when it came to evaluating Animal City, she couldn't bring herself to write anything for a long time.
After an unknown period, she finally typed the first line of text.
"Animal City, a must-visit place for animal lovers in this lifetime, a paradise belonging to animals."
After typing this sentence, she immediately felt her thoughts flow like a gushing spring.
Before long, she had written a detailed review of thousands of words.
After finishing it, she immediately sent the post to her accounts on various platforms, along with a screenshot of her trial qualification and a photo taken at the entrance of Animal City.
Not long after she posted this review, it was immediately discovered by her fans.
Coupled with the popular keywords like "New Project of Xihong Zoo" in the post, it quickly attracted a lot of attention.
"Animal City? Is this the new project of Xihong Zoo? It sounds quite ordinary."
"Isn't it just a large theme park?"
"A city truly belonging to animals? Is it real or fake?"
"All employees are animals, how exciting."
"There are also animal-themed rooms, living like neighbors with animals!"
"You can skate with penguins and take a bath with crocodiles!"
"I've been following this blogger's previous guides and have visited some places with her recommendations, so she probably isn't lying."
"If this is really the case, then Animal City is indeed worth a visit."
"It sounds so magical."
Even with simple text descriptions, everyone was quickly captivated by the Animal City depicted.
At the same time, other trial visitors also began to share their experiences in Animal City.
Similar to Jin Ming's review, the content posted by other visitors also attracted a lot of attention.
And these tourists' descriptions of Animal City undoubtedly confirmed Jin Ming's review.
What was even more commendable was that these people gave uniformly positive reviews for Animal City.
Of course, not all netizens believed what they said, and some netizens raised doubts.
"Are you kidding me? It's impossible that there are no human staff in the entire city. Can animals solve all the tourists' needs?"
"I'm afraid this is a joke. How can all animals be freely roaming outside? I believe in freely roaming herbivores, but what about lions and tigers?"
"They are all paid online trolls from Xihong Zoo, all with uniform good reviews, they must have been paid."
However, as soon as these questioning remarks were made, they were immediately drowned out by the fans of Xihong Zoo.
"Let me just say this, many animals in Xihong Zoo are smarter than humans. Last time I saw three orangutans secretly playing Dou Dizhu, and as soon as they saw me, they pretended to play with mud."
"Exactly. Yesterday when I went to Xihong Zoo, I gave my winter holiday homework to that studious monkey. When I returned to school, I said my homework was stolen by a monkey. Who knew that on the spot, it returned the homework to my parents."
"What you guys are saying is nothing. Do you know about that pig that can paint inside? One of its paintings has already been sold for over a million."
"For those who say lions and tigers can't be freely roaming, have you ever been to Xihong Zoo? The enclosures in Xihong Zoo protect humans, not animals."
"Besides, you say Director Yang paid for online trolls, this is simply outrageous. Do you know how many tickets need to be sold to earn back the money for hiring online trolls?"
In almost one round, the netizens who held doubtful attitudes were silenced.
At this point, netizens became even more curious about Animal City, which Xihong Zoo had not yet fully opened.
But unfortunately, they could only learn about it through the text descriptions of the first batch of trial visitors, and the official website of Xihong Zoo did not reveal any information.
Fortunately, when the time came to the next day, the official account of Xihong Zoo finally released a bombshell news – Animal City will officially open in five days.
The ticket reservation channel will also be opened soon.
As soon as the news broke, all netizens who were paying attention to Animal City instantly became excited.
The only thing they couldn't quite understand was that Animal City would limit the number of visitors to 2,000 per day.
Logically speaking, given the architectural area of Animal City, its reception capacity should be at least 30,000 people.
However, this clearly did not dampen the enthusiasm of the tourists who were interested in Animal City.
And just as a large number of netizens were preparing to book tickets for Animal City, Xihong Zoo officially released another piece of news that surprised them.
"The filming of 'Animal City' themed movie, and Ningnan City promotional film - 'Zootopia', has officially begun. All roles will be played by the animal residents of Animal City. Please stay tuned."
As soon as the news came out, the netizens who were still immersed in the news of the official opening of Animal City were instantly stunned.
This was because Xihong Zoo had never revealed any related information before.
"So they finally turned the advertisement into a movie!"
"I was wondering why I haven't seen Xihong Zoo's advertisements recently. It turns out they were brewing a big move."
"The advertisement was already an hour long, so a movie would have to be at least three hours."
"This means all the animals are going to participate, which would be a definite all-star lineup."
"Interesting, very interesting, a movie with all animal actors, probably unique in the world."
"I suggest Director Yang charge a reasonable fee, otherwise I'll feel guilty."
"How many animals will be featured? The anticipation is off the charts!"
With the bombardment of two consecutive explosive pieces of news, in a blink of an eye, the not-yet-cooled popularity of Xihong Zoo and Animal City soared again.
