Shoushan Zoo, Public zoo on Shou Mountain in Gushan District, Taiwan
The Shoushan Zoo extends across multiple levels with dedicated sections for small animals, mammals, predators, birds, reptiles, and nocturnal creatures.
The facility began operations in 1978 as Hsizuhwan Zoo, later relocating to its current location in 1986 following campus development at Sun Yat-Sen University.
The entrance features Taiwan's largest wall mosaic, while walkways display artwork created by local school students throughout the grounds.
Admission costs 40 NTD for adults and 20 NTD for children aged 6-17, with free entry for seniors over 65 and children under 6.
The zoo sits against a mountainous backdrop on three sides, incorporating natural terrain into animal habitats and viewing areas.
