The tiger hall smelt foul and they were pacing around their 4m2 room just waiting for death. The elephant enclosure was also woefully inadequate, their skin cracked and yellow. The whole park needed a lick of paint and a good clean.

We also took a walk around the Hutongs, which are the small alleys that run ...

No wonder they were eventually overrun. We hiked along the wall for maybe a kilometer and then blew back down the slippery walkway.

Although the wall was crowded because of the New ...
