Really enjoyed the walk around the park (there is a car-train that can drive you around if you are less mobile). Several nice enclosures with pandas of varying age groups. Didn’t see any really small babies though. They also have some red pandas and even a black bear. Worth a visit!

Though it is smaller than the one in Dubai and too few aquariums to see, the aquariums and the fish are beautiful and top quality show for your eyes. The belugas are playful lovely. They are in an big aquarium for you to contemplate but you cannot forget that they certainly feel better and happier free in the wild out there in the ocean. Beautiful pictures are to be taken.

First time for me to visit any zoos in China and it impressed me big time! This is a great way to visit the zoo- in AC and at your whole pace. You don’t have to be in the sun and walk 10K steps to see different animal! I personally much prefer this than any other zoo, by the way it’s a well managed zoo too!

This zoo is amazing and it is designed wonderfully with very good shows and great verity of animals and birds. Come early in morning and bring lot of food and drinks to keep yourself hydrated and energetic. This place has Anibal and birds show which should never be missed. Try to watch bird show in evening at the end of your trip. Bring comfortable shoes and sun hats or umbrella for sun. Don’t forget to bring good Sameer with you. Avoid it in July and August, if you have option. Because humidity makes things difficult, specially when you are with kids.

Learn on the move! This is a really educational tour for us, every inch of the park there is something for us to learn everywhere from the plants to the wildlife. The enclosures are really well maintained and I can tell that a lot of effort has been put into preserving the mountain in its wildest form. The animals are thriving and full of life, such as the ostrich and the tigers. A stark difference from what we have at Singapore Zoo. There were also many kiddy activities lined up at affordable prices. However, expect to walk really a lot, it is a must to get the tram ride tickets at 50rmb per adult. It provides a pleasant ride up the slopes. Will need at least 4 hours to tour the entire park.

We were quite surprised how big this place is...and how many sea animals it has!! Penguins, whale sharks, polar bears, wolves, seals, etc. The seal show was just ok but the dolphin show is a must see!! The rides are quite mixed for young and older kids....although ur child should at least be 1m high for him/her to be able to ride most of the rides... There are a lot of restaurants to choose from inside with a lot of food selection. Last thing, wait for the outdoor finale fireworks show at night...ITS A MUST SEE. You can also get english maps at their customer service area.... They have a rental stroller service...toilets are clean and have international toilet bowls.. All in all, kids will definitely enjoy there...we got the 2 day ticket to be able to finish everything...we suggest that!

We didn't have a lot of time at the zoo so most of it was spent admiring the pandas. There were three young pandas and it was great to be fairly close to them and to watch them playing. The panda enclosure housed the adult pandas and we loved watching them, too. All of the pandas were chowing down on bamboo. There were red pandas as well which were also fun to watch.
