Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Add a little detail!

In the third section of the visitor area, Fang Ye employed a hidden visit approach. It mimicked a dense forest environment with uneven terrain, dense trees, and the sound of insects and birds. Visitors would feel like they were strolling through a secluded forest. As they progressed, they encountered several massive irregular rocks. These weren't actual rocks but had been treated to resemble natural stone formations.

These "rocks" had gaps between them, some wide, others narrow, and were embedded with vertical piano wires, acting as a slender yet visually appealing iron railing. This unique design allowed visitors to get a closer view of the animals' habitat, resembling an immersive forest environment. To reduce the visibility between these visiting areas and minimize the psychological pressure on animals, some natural elements were incorporated, such as trees and climbing vegetation to mask the human presence.

After finishing the design for the visitor area, Fang Ye took a break and had a drink. It was then that he remembered to ask the system how the zoo would be constructed. He wondered if it would be created instantly in a fantasy-like manner.

The system clarified that a temporary construction team would be assembled to work like a regular construction team, but their efficiency would be significantly higher. This response relieved Fang Ye, as he had been concerned about how to hide the zoo's rapid construction.

With that settled, Fang Ye focused on designing the interior of the Tiger Garden. He began by shaping the terrain to resemble a more natural environment, with gentle undulations in the landscape. He then created a crescent-shaped pit in front of the glass curtain wall to serve as a waterhole. To accommodate the tigers' love for water, he added a stone bridge and varying water depths for swimming and bathing.

To provide shelter during rainy weather, Fang Ye included a simple wooden shed made from unadorned logs. This maintained the concept of minimizing artificial elements in the zoo. Perches were strategically positioned to cater to the animals' needs and reduce the psychological pressure caused by visitors. They were made from dark logs and designed to offer height variations to suit various animals' preferences.

The water pools featured different angles and scenery, reducing the visibility between them to limit the disturbance to animals. The trenches for visiting had enrichment facilities for Bengal white tiger cubs, such as a plum blossom pile, a swing made from scrap car tires, and various toys. The landscaping also included various trees and plants, creating a forest-like environment with different types of vegetation to enhance the aesthetics of the Tiger Garden.
