Shenzhen Safari Park

Shenzhen Safari Park is a very popular zoo that combines animal performances, plants and animals and the first in China to un-cage the animals. It is home to over 300 animal breeds and many of these are exotic and rare animals from China and other parts of the world. Visitors can find flamingos, Siberian tigers, red crown cranes, Asian elephants, giraffes and pandas at the park. To its north are green mountains that act as a barrier. Buses are available within the park to watch the animals in play or simply relaxing.

Shenzhen Safari Park is located in the north of the city, on the bank of the beautiful Xili Lake. With green mountains to the north as its barrier, the Safari Park is like a bright pearl in the bustling metropolis. It has been divided into three zones: the performance and walking zone, the adventurous beasts' zone and herbivore zone.

Animal performance zone

In the animal performance zone, wonderful performances are waiting the visitors. The red orangutans, the closest animal to human beings, come from India. They even serve as salesmen, cooperating with the parrots as cashiers and elephants as porters. Every day, the zoo holds about ten animal performances in the four animal performance halls, namely, the Circus Hall, the Elephants and Tigers Show Hall, the Sea lion Performance Hall and the Birds Performance Hall. The grand party for hundreds of birds can not be seen in other parts of the world. Another exciting performance played by more than 300 actors and about 1,000 animals is also a pioneer in the world. The elephants act as the leaders of the parade, with tigers, lions and other animals following behind and clouds of pigeons hovering in the sky.

Adventurous beasts' zone

In the adventurous beasts' zone, white tigers (Bengal tigers), North China tigers (Siberian tigers), South China tigers, bears, wolves, lions and cheetahs, all have their own homes. In China, a saying goes that 'one mountain cannot have two tigers', but in the Chinese Liger Hill, tigers and lions live harmoniously with each other. Here, visitors find the only tiglon in the world and rare ligers. The South China tigers show the mien of Chinese tigers.

The Herbivore Zone

In the herbivore zone of Shenzhen Safari Park visitors will be able to find herbivorous animals such as pandas, swans, hippopotamuses, camels, kangaroos, zebras, flamingos and giraffes. This area is also home to the largest ever swan lake in the country. Visitors can take a boat ride to appreciate the beauty of graceful white and black swans in the lake. The pandas here are a highlight and the park is considered to be a national treasure for China.

 

In addition, the Ocean World in the park is definitely worth a visit. There visitors can see many kinds of sea creatures such as spotted dolphins, sea lions, black fin sharks, white fin sharks and lemon sharks. Meanwhile, the musical drama ‘Happy Ocean’ featuring acrobatics in mid air, high diving and sea animal performances will take your breath away.
