The Peacock Lawn in Oriental Ark is one of the most eye-catching attractions during this holiday. The green lawns and beautiful lakeside scenery attract many tourists to take a rest here, and the "animation giant" woven from straw seems to bring people into a fairy tale world. These "animation giants" are several meters tall, and each one has been carefully designed. The cute and naive oversized Internet celebrity cat, the gentle and cute pink giant bear, and the powerful animal "orangutan" are all tourists' favorites for taking photos. The naughty children climbed up and down on the animal "orangutan" and laughed happily.
