Guiyang Forest Wildlife Zoo, the premier animal kingdom of Guizhou

Guiyang Forest Wildlife Zoo is located in Zhazuo Town, Xiuwen County, Guiyang City, situated at the intersection of the Guizun Expressway and Guibi Highway, approximately a 40-minute drive from downtown Guiyang. It is the largest zoo in Guizhou Province, with the most comprehensive facilities, the richest variety of animal species, and the highest number of animals. It is also the only wildlife zoo in the province, rightfully earning the title of Guizhou's number one animal kingdom. The zoo is nestled within a forest, surrounded by tall and dense woods, which isolate it from two heavily trafficked roads. While enjoying the convenience of transportation, it also ensures a tranquil and secluded environment. The zoo's sightseeing path is circular, winding along the undulating terrain. Various pavilions, performance centers, and service facilities are distributed along the circular path, with a logical layout and clear visiting routes, avoiding any backtracking or unnecessary detours. The design is excellent, and the full range of barrier-free facilities makes it suitable for visitors of all ages. The design of the animal enclosures is exceptional. As a wildlife zoo, compared to ordinary urban zoos, the enclosures here are larger in scale, better equipped, and situated in a more favorable environment. This not only provides a better habitat for the animals but also offers a superior visiting experience for tourists. The animals here do not exhibit stereotypical behaviors but are closer to their natural state. Visiting the zoo takes at least 3 hours, and if you want to watch the animal performances, it may take even longer. The zoo is a ten-minute drive from Zhazuo Town, where the famous trotter hotpot, a renowned Guiyang dish, can be found. Spending a weekend with the family, watching animals and enjoying hotpot, is indeed a perfect experience.
