I don't like animals in captivity, but the opportunity to see a live panda took over.
- History reference
Originally, right after the founding of the PRC, it was known as the Western Outskirts Park. Its territory has the appearance of classical Chinese gardens. It combines artificial plantations of flowers and thickets of natural plants, dense groves of trees, patches of meadows, small streams, lotus ponds and small hills, literally dotted with pavilions and aviaries.
The zoo's brightest stars are the giant pandas, among other inhabitants the Sichuan golden short-nosed monkeys, Manchurian tigers, white-lipped fallow deer, Tibetan yaks, huge sea turtles, polar bears from the North Pole, kangaroos from Australia and zebras from Africa are popular with tourists. There is also an Oceanarium on site.
- Opening hours: From April 1 to October 3.07:30-18:00, Panda House 08:00-18:00
- Entrance fee: 15 RMB (April 1 - October 31).
Additional charge for Panda House: 5 yuan

Personal impressions:
The park reminded me of the zoo in Kyiv, although it was much larger. The enclosures are built on the same principle, and in general, the location of animals, signs and architecture carried the legacy of the USSR. The main goal was to see pandas, which I spent my time on. Knowing that these animals are very popular, I arrived just in time for the opening, but there were still a lot of visitors. Pandas are the cutest animals I have ever seen. Just a bundle of tenderness and cuteness : ) and also calmness. Several animals walked in open enclosures, several others rested in the glazed Panda House, peacefully chewing on green twigs.
It seems to me that pandas are the main natural asset of China, which must be preserved for future generations.
