Guangzhou Zoo

Guangzhou Zoo is one of the three largest urban zoos in China. With an area of over 103.7 acres (42 hectares), there are more than 4,500 animals of 450 species, including rare animals like giant pandas, south China tigers, lions, golden monkeys, and black-necked cranes. It contains three sightseeing districts: Central Area of mammals, Bird's Paradise, and Panlong Park with about 200 amphibians and reptiles. In addition, many entertainment activities are also provided. Visitors can watch the animals performing acrobatics, or have a close contact with the cubs in the Children's Jungle.

Giant Pandas House

There are two giant panda sisters living here, Yali and Wenli. They were delivered from Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in 2013. Wenli is the elder sister with the pointed face. Yali is very active and has two conspicuous freckles on her nose. They are fed three times a day with carefully prepared cornmeal buns and fresh bamboo. Sweets are the two sisters' favorite. They like apples very much and 300 grams of apples a day is very necessary.

Tigers Hill

Three south China tigers, Huazai, Tongtong and Junjun, are raised in the zoo. Huazai was born here in 1998. Tongtong and Junjun are younger and were introduced from Shanghai and Fujian respectively.

Lions Hill

There are a couple of African lions and two white lions. They eat 6-7.5 kilograms of meat a day. If the lions are fed a few minutes later than their meal time, they will impatiently walk around the cage and growl. After eating and drinking, they usually lie down on the ground and sleep drowsily.

Guangzhou Ocean World

Situated inside the zoo, it reveals the colorful underwater world with splendid scenery and many marine animals. Visitors can enjoy three great shows of the aquarium: graceful mermaid show, interesting seal performance, and thrilling Dancing with Shark. Visitors can also feed the fish, turtles and seals.
