Beijing Zoo is one of the larger urban zoos in China with a relatively wide variety of animals.
It features precious animals native to China such as giant pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, and Northeast China tigers, as well as representative animals from all over the world such as African chimpanzees and Australian kangaroos.
Inside Beijing Zoo, there is also a popular science hall that holds weekend animal classes specifically for preschool children.
You cannot miss the Lion and Tiger Mountain at Beijing Zoo. In past decades, most commemorative photos taken by Chinese people used the Lion and Tiger Mountain as a background; come here to feel the endless vitality of living creatures.
Beijing Zoo is located at Xizhimenwai Avenue, Xicheng District, Beijing. It is the earliest opened and most animal-diverse zoo in China, with a history of over a hundred years. The biggest advantage of Beijing Zoo lies in its excellent geographical location and convenient transportation. Situated in the core area of downtown Beijing, visitors can choose to take Metro Line 4, get off at Beijing Zoo Station, and exit directly to the South Gate of the zoo. The transportation is extremely convenient, eliminating the need to spend a lot of time traveling back and forth to the suburbs, making it an ideal choice for experiencing and getting close to animals.
