X+Living’s Parkzoo Xiangyuan Hangzhou, a Chinese Hotel Combines Wild and Cosseting Elements

There are many ways to foster and indulge a love of animals. Volunteer at a dog shelter. Bird-watch in the Everglades. Commune with lions on African safari. Paddleboard alongside dolphin pods in the Azores archipelago. Or book a long weekend’s stay at Parkzoo Xiangyuan Hangzhou, a hotel in China where it’s possible to perch on a giant red hippopotamus, take selfies with a statuesque pink flamingo, and sip a latte while getting mooned by a rainbow coalition of civets.
