Ling Xiaozhe is located at the second stop on the sightseeing bus, at the Snow Leopard Pavilion, about 30 meters down from the Beast Hall. Xiaozhe, Xiaomang, and Aoxue rotate between opening hours and are more active in the mornings. Before you go, it's best to find out which one will be open that day.
When I went, Aoxue was open, and Xiaozhe was scheduled to open the next day.
We saw caracals, snow leopards, desert cats, and many other plateau animals we had never seen before. It was great! But eating was a bit difficult. There was only a Dicos near the panda house, and the only other snacks were sausage stalls.

The museum has quite a large collection, with more animal specimens than the Natural Resources Museum. The display of water samples collected from all over the country is quite impressive. If you want a free visit, make a reservation at the Natural Resources Museum. If you want to visit the Natural History Museum after visiting the Tibetan Culture Museum, this is the right place, just across the street. You can explore the entire museum in one to two hours.
The exhibits here are quite interesting and suitable for children. They can learn about the animals and plants of the plateau, as well as the terrain characteristics. They also introduce the situation of Sanjiangyuan. The children's science popularization is very good.

I bought a double ticket for 238 yuan. When I went there, three or four projects were not open. I played all the projects that were open. I also watched the dolphin show in the aquarium. The aquarium was very rich and beautiful. Since it closed at 18:00, I didn't see the aquarium carefully, which was a bit regrettable. Water World was also open, which was included in the pass. I didn't go in because I didn't bring swimming trunks, but I didn't have time to play. Overall, it was worth it.
