Scenery theme / exhibit: Urban Japan building set

Animals:
  1. Tanuki (mascot)
  2. Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey
  3. Japanese Giant Salamander (still have my doubts on these guys working as habitat animals, but I wouldn't want to leave them out)
  4. Japanese Serow
  5. Mandarin Duck
  6. Reeve's Muntjac
  7. Sika Deer

Chinese alligator would make a good accompanying anniversary species. It could also replace the salamander in the scenario of it not working into current habitat mechanics. Would be a lot more of a realistic pick too, especially with the duck already being my locked-in "high effort" request if we continue to get one of those per pack.

Sika deer over Père David's is purely personal bias. It doesn't have the conservation importance, but it's more common in zoos and certainly has memes going for it.

I wanted to include crested ibis, but it sadly didn't feel justifiable with it only being held in Asia.

Sorry, but the most animals from your list are not native in East Asia.
I said it wrong, since only the Nilgai and Four-horned antelope are not native in East Asia.

The Gaur is also native in China, but not the Indian subspecies.

*If you ask me, East Asia honestly doesn't need a second scenery theme.

Of all Asia, I think that the East and South are the least represented parts of the continent, so I'd like to see this DLC happen in the future. Anyway, here's my grain of sand.
  1. Tanooki (Mascot)
  2. Japanese Serow
  3. Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey
  4. Yak
  5. Père David's Deer
  6. Rhesus Macaque
  7. Demoiselle Crane
Scenery? Maybe a Chinese Set, or a Japan set
