The Shanghai Zoo has recently introduced summer night tours where tourists can observe zoo animals' nocturnal behaviors using flashlights under the guidance of zoo staff, offering a unique experience compared to the usual noisy and crowded daytime visit.
Guided by zoo staff and using low-intensity flashlights, visitors can observe the behaviors of nocturnal animal species, including black leopards and otters known for being more active at night, as well as daytime animals such as red pandas settling into their night-time routines.
"At night, it's more mysterious, and we can observe animals unseen during the day. Compared with daytime crowdedness, the quiet chance tonight allows us to observe animals from relevant unique perspectives," said a visitor.
The summer night tour is offered two to three times a week, totaling 40 events, including adult night tours, children's overnight stays, and parent-child night tours, running until October 7.

Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez said on Sunday that the country is at a critical stage and must achieve national unity, emphasizing that maintaining internal cohesion is of utmost importance.
In a televised address, Rodriguez called on the public to continue trusting the government under the current highly complex political circumstances.
Her statement comes in the wake of a January 3 military operation conducted by the United States, during which Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife were taken into custody and flown out of the country.
The operation resulted in at least 100 fatalities.
Rodriguez, who was sworn in as acting president two days later on January 5, framed her appeal for unity against this backdrop of external intervention.
Meanwhile, Venezuelan Minister of Communication and Information Freddy Nanez denounced the U.S. actions as a "war crime of the 21st century" when speaking at an international cultural event on Sunday.
Nanez condemned not only the January 3 airstrikes but also the associated cyber and electromagnetic attacks.
He accused the United States of violating international law through the forced removal of President Maduro and his wife, while attacks on civilian infrastructure, including medical facilities, represent a flagrant breach of humanitarian norms.
He reiterated that the stigmatization and military attacks against Venezuela are driven by economic interests, particularly the desire to control its abundant natural resources.
