The happiest station announcement on the Chengdu Metro. As the train glides into Zoo Station, the speaker chimes a crisp “Zoo Station,” followed by a playful imitation of animal sounds—a low elephant rumble or a bird’s chirp. Children’s eyes light up instantly.
Every weekend, parents take their children to the zoo by metro. The moment the announcement plays, the kids’ excitement peaks—they mimic the sound, telling their mom, “The elephant is calling!” This unique Chengdu station jingle is the sweetest melody of childhood. In a rush-filled city, this sound makes every commuter smile.
