The Hello! Fantastic Beasts: Rare Animal Ecological Exhibition is being held at the Beijing Longfu Art Museum. Crafted by top-tier botanists and zoologists, the exhibition merges rare animal specimens with natural ecological spaces, complemented by artistic installations. It creates an immersive experience in animal ecology, providing an urban oasis and allowing visitors to appreciate the wonders of nature. The exhibition is set to run until August 31.

Featuring diverse ecosystems organized by altitude and ecological landscape, the exhibition spans five floors. Starting from the basement with marine environments and caves, visitors step up to the first floor to explore forests, then to the second floor for grasslands, rain-forests and glaciers. The third floor focuses on bird and environmental conservation themes, culminating in an animal entertainment area on the fourth-floor terrace. Each level is meticulously designed to authentically replicate natural environments, immersing visitors in the power and beauty of nature.

This exhibition seeks to not only showcase the beauty of nature but also profoundly inspire ecological awareness. Guides playing characters such as botanists and zoologists take visitors around, leading them into the tents of naturalists to embark on a journey of discovery.
