Through a tunnel that provides an appropriate draft of chilly air to set the scene (which was entirely unnecessary on this particular day - that snow is real and natural...).

This is the sort of themed entrance that I particularly enjoy, complete with map of the specific area. It reminds me of Russia's Grizzly Coast at Minnesota Zoo, and there is the sense that one has arrived at a particular destination.

The level of detail put into theming of this zoo is incredible. Even in this tunnel are many signs and tools which aren't essential to uphold the illusion. The grand facades and interiors of buildings in this area were very impressive to me, and it's fantastic use of older buildings, like the old elephant house.
