When a visitor arrives at Heping Nature Park, he discovers that the environment is very different from his home in the Arctic. The dense jungle with leaves in all shades of green and brown, and the creatures in the water are all unfamiliar to him. Will the three friends, Red Hair the lion, Chip Ear the leopard and Four Tooth the hyena, be able to help the visitor adapt to this new environment or find his way home? Inspired by a famous saying of Confucius, 有朋自远方來, 不亦乐乎 (you peng zi yuan fang lai, bu yi le hu), which describes the great pleasure of welcoming friends visiting from afar, The Visitor from Far Far Away teaches children about the joys of making new friends and helping friends in need. This enchanting story is suitable for readers of all ages.
