Chongqing Zoo, Animal park in Jiulongpo District, Chongqing, China
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
Practical
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.
