Chongqing Zoo, Animal park in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, China
Chongqing Zoo is a large park with separate sections designed for different animal groups and species. The grounds include areas like Tiger Hill, Bear Hill, Gorilla House, Deer Park, and Kangaroo Park, each with its own layout and features for the animals that live there.
The zoo was founded in 1953 and opened to visitors two years later as a public place for protecting animals. Over time, it grew into an important location for showing different animal species and conservation work.
The zoo shows visitors many animal species living in settings that copy their natural habitats, so you can see how different creatures behave and interact. Walking through different sections, you notice how each area reflects where these animals come from in the world.
The zoo is easy to reach by train and sits near a rail station for convenient arrival. Plan for a full visit since the grounds are large and have many sections spread across the area.
The Panda House features natural elements like hills, rocks, caves, streams, and waterfalls to recreate the giant pandas' native home. This careful design helps the animals feel more like they are in their original habitat.
