In the midst of our casual chat, we had already entered the park area.
It used to be a plaza right at the entrance, with a statue of a boy that would spray water. However, because it was quite old, the statue's pipes had rusted, causing the "urination" to be intermittent. Since Fang Ye felt that the statue did not fit with the zoo theme at all, being too flashy, he simply had it removed.
The plaza now featured an unaltered central circular area, but the surrounding lawns had been expanded considerably, complete with low wooden fences.
On the wide lawn, scattered patches of unknown red, purple, and white flowers grew, interspersed with red tip photinias and coral bushes. Several robust banyan trees stood along the path, like wide-open large umbrellas, with sparrows perched on their branches, chirping away.
At first glance, it was very refreshing and comfortable.
"This place is nice, I could bring Mom here for a walk," a girl in a red dress muttered softly.
