[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Beijing Zoo (Updated Apr)

The Beijing Zoo is located at the Zoo Station on subway line 4. The previous main gate had a certain charm... Apparently a new main gate was built during the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking of the Beijing Zoo, it's "pandas" 🐼❤︎. The Big Bear House (Panda House) is a little far away, but for some reason we got excited and arrived quickly. It's spacious and not cluttered, and you can get close to the pandas, so you can take your time to look at them. They are active, lazy like cats, and full of charm!! Oh, the Panda House is a separate fee, so please purchase a set ticket from the beginning! The Beijing Zoo is in the city, but it feels like a park or a garden. The Summer Palace is also nearby, and it seems to have been a villa in the past, so it's actually fun to stroll around the zoo!! You'll forget you're at the zoo. In fact, you can enjoy "exciting and elegant healing" twice with just one pill!!

trip to Safari Zoo in Beijing was awesome. I recommend to everyone to visit there.

If you're wondering where to go in Beijing, I recommend #aquarium!! If you get a college student discount at the oceanarium inside the Beijing Zoo, it's 80 yuan per person 💰 You must bring your student ID The aquarium is large and there are a lot of fish, so you can play all day without getting bored. In particular, the beluga show inside is a must-see. The beluga and the performer dance together, and it's fantastic. I could feel with my whole body that the beluga is such an elegant and smart animal 🐋#BeijingZoo#BeijingTravel

Zoo (short for zoological garden; also called an animal park or menagerie) is a facility in which animals are housed within enclosures, cared for, displayed to the public, and in some cases bred for conservation purposes. For example the London Zoo, which was opened in 1828, was initially known as the "Gardens and Menagerie of the Zoological Society of London", and it described itself as a "zoological forest". The abbreviation "zoo" first appeared in print in the United Kingdom around 1847, when it was used for the Clifton Zoo, but it was not until some 20 years later that the shortened form became popular in the song "Walking in the Zoo" by music-hall artist Alfred Vance. #zoo#nationalpark

📍Beijing Zoo Beijing Zoo is located in the city. It is easy to get to by subway. The admission fee is also very cheap, 10 yuan for adults and 5 yuan for students. The buildings here and there in the zoo are very different from the modern ones, and there were more animals than I expected, so it was fun. It is a good place to have a picnic without any burden. . . . #picnic #walk #parkwalk #citytour #couple #zoo #atthezoo #safetravel

It's a very big zoo with so many variable animals and birds! You can spend time at least 1 day there

we really love Beijing zoo.. kids enjoy and the place is so great!!!

Finally I did it! I saw Menglan in real life. Such a sweet boy! Watching Menglan munch on bamboo with those fuzzy ears twitching was pure joy. His playful rolls and clumsy walks melted my heart! When Menglan suddenly locked eyes with me mid-bite, bamboo stalk dangling from his mouth like a comedic prop. Time froze. My heart exploded. I fell irrevocably in love with a 200-pound fluffball. It worth every single minutes of waiting in line to see Menglan. #discoverchina

Your Guide to Plum Blossom Viewing at Zizhuyuan Park Beijing in spring is a city of hidden romance, and Zizhuyuan Park is a must-see treasure. From late March to mid-April each year, the park transforms into a sea of flowers, with the apricot plums at Youxian Villa being particularly stunning. If you're looking for a touch of spring romance, follow this guide! I. Highlights 1. Youxian Villa Apricot Plums: This is the perfect spot for plum blossom viewing in Zizhuyuan Park. The apricot plum, a hybrid of apricot and plum blossoms, blooms in abundance here. The flowers are large and vibrant, ranging from snow-white to rosy pink. The branches are laden with blossoms, emitting a delicate fragrance. This spot is incredibly photogenic, and wearing traditional clothing can enhance the charm of your photos. 2. Jiangnan-style Gardens: Zizhuyuan Park boasts a unique Jiangnan garden style, featuring extensive waterways and three lakes, two islands, and one embankment. Five arched bridges connect the lakes, islands, and shores, dotted with pavilions, bridges, and corridors. The white walls, gray tiles, and overhanging eaves are reminiscent of Huizhou architecture, transporting you to a picturesque Jiangnan water town. Every corner is a photo opportunity. 3. Diverse Plant Life: In addition to apricot plums, the park is home to various bamboo species, peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, crabapple blossoms, and many other flowers and plants. In spring, the lush bamboo contrasts beautifully with the vibrant flowers, creating a lively scene. It's an ideal place to connect with nature and embrace the spirit of spring. II. Itinerary - Morning: Enter through the north gate and head to Youxian Villa to admire the apricot plums. The soft morning light is perfect for photography. Take a leisurely stroll along the lakeside path, enjoying the spring scenery and the gentle breeze. - Lunch: Dine at one of the park's restaurants. We recommend the affordable cafeteria, where the signature pork knuckle is only 38 yuan and offers generous portions. There are also various vegetable dumplings and other delicacies, all for less than 30 yuan per person. - Afternoon: Explore other areas of the park, such as the bamboo groves and the historical Fuyin Zizhuyuan from the Qing Dynasty. You can also take a boat tour on the lake for a different perspective of the park's beauty. If you're interested in plants, visit the botanical garden. III. Photography Tips 1. Best Time to Shoot: 8–10 am and 3–5 pm, when the light is soft and the colors are more vibrant. 2. Outfit Recommendations: Light-colored clothing, such as white dresses or light blue shirts, works well. A simple hat can complement your outfit. Avoid overly bright colors that might clash with the flowers. If you're unsure how to pose, interact with the surroundings—lean against a railing, rest against a tree trunk, or smell the flowers—for a natural and beautiful look. 3. Photography Techniques: Use the blooming apricot plums as a backdrop. Shooting from a low angle can create a sense of abundance, while close-ups of petals and stamens can showcase the beauty of the flowers. Shooting upwards can help avoid crowds and highlight both the subject and the flowers. IV. Transportation 1. Subway: Take Subway Line 4 or Line 9 to National Library Station. Exit from Exit E or F and walk about 10 minutes to the north gate of the park. 2. Bus: Several bus routes stop at National Library Station and Zizhuqiao Station. Use a bus navigation app for specific routes. 3. Car: There are parking lots around the park, but parking may be limited during holidays. Public transportation is recommended. V. Nearby Attractions 1. National Library of China: Adjacent to Zizhuyuan Park, this is one of the largest and most advanced national libraries in the world, with a rich collection of ancient books and rare editions. The architecture is impressive, offering a journey into a vast ocean of knowledge. 2. Beijing Zoo: Not far from the park, the zoo houses a wide variety of animals, including giant pandas and golden monkeys. It's a great place for a family outing. 3. Five-Pagoda Temple: This historic temple features the unique Diamond Throne Pagoda and exquisite architecture and stone carvings. Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture. VI. Dining Recommendations 1. Sishitongtang: This restaurant features a Republican-era decor and preserves traditional culinary techniques. The "Three Non-Stick" dish and the "Da Chibao Catches Wu Kui" dessert are visually appealing. The pea flour cake with sesame and peanut filling is a must-try. 2. Jingweizhai: Specializing in Peking duck and traditional Beijing cuisine, this restaurant offers a unique presentation of the State Banquet Peony Roast Duck. Other recommended dishes include Qianlong Cabbage, mung bean milk with fried dough rings, and stewed offal. 3. Dayali Roast Duck Restaurant: This restaurant offers authentic hanging oven roast duck at affordable prices. The duck is crispy and tender, served with a variety of side dishes, catering to a wide range of tastes. 4. Xiaodioli Tang: This restaurant serves traditional Beijing cuisine, with the signature Xiaodioli pear soup being a warm and comforting choice. The pear soup is thick and sweet, and other Beijing specialties are also available. VII. Things to Note 1. The park is free to enter, but some attractions inside may require separate fees, such as exhibitions at Fuyin Zizhuyuan. 2. Spring weather can be unpredictable, so dress comfortably and bring rain gear or sunscreen as needed. 3. The park can get crowded during peak flower season. Please be mindful of the environment, refrain from picking flowers, and practice responsible flower viewing. 4. Boat services are available in the park. Please follow the instructions of the staff and prioritize safety.

I went to the zoo yesterday, originally just planning to pass through, but I stumbled upon a great place to see peach blossoms. You can see peach blossoms by the water, with a building that looks like a European castle in the background. And there was almost no one there. It was like a Peach Blossom Spring within the zoo. The building, which resembles a European castle, is actually the side of Changguan Lou, an ancient building from the late Qing Dynasty. It's located on the northwest side of the park, on the west bank of the small lake west of Changguan Lou. After crossing a small stone bridge, you can see four or five scattered mountain peach blossoms in full bloom. One of them stands alone by the water, perfectly complementing Changguan Lou. There's also a platform with stone column bases here, which looks like the foundation of an old building. I wonder what it used to be. Following the trodden dirt path around the north side of the small lake, there are also large clusters of blooming winter jasmine on the west side of Changguan Lou. Everyone comes to the zoo to see animals, but I came to enjoy the spring flowers. It's actually quite nice to experience the tranquil side of the zoo. Leaving the zoo through the northwest gate, strolling along the Chang River on Wutasi Road, feeling the spring breeze on your face, and admiring the pink peach blossoms and green willows by the river is also a pleasant experience.

#springwander. #discoverchina I loved the time spend in Beijing zoo. This is the perfect place to spend a spring day. Just enjojing the sun with new animal friends. I had a few hours before my train ride and decided to spend the time here and I was suprised how beautifil this place is in spring. The trees are just starting to bloom. Georgeous. Animals are soaking up the sun after a long winter. Me too. 😊

My trip to the Beijing Aquarium was a splash-tastic adventure! Located near the zoo, this underwater wonderland is a must-see. The moment I stepped inside, I was surrounded by vibrant fish, graceful jellyfish, and even a few sharks that looked straight out of a movie. The highlight? The epic underwater tunnel—it felt like walking through the ocean without getting wet! 📍How to get there: Hop on Beijing Subway Line 4 and head to the Beijing Zoo Station (动物园站). Exit through Gate A, and you’re just a short walk away from the aquarium, which is right next to the zoo. Easy peasy! The exhibits were both fun and educational, with cool facts about marine life and conservation. Sure, the crowds were a bit overwhelming, but it’s hard to complain when you’re face-to-face with a shark. Whether you’re a kid or just a kid at heart, the Beijing Aquarium is a fin-tastic way to spend the day. Dive in and enjoy! 🐠✨ #beijing #localguides #familytrip #aquarium #sealife #mytripvlog #mytripmoment #beijingtravel

Address: Beijing Zoo On a Saturday afternoon a week after school started, the north wind howled, and the temperature dropped. My child insisted on going to the zoo, so we first went to see the giant pandas. Two out of the three were asleep, and only Meng Er was actively "working," eating bamboo shoots on camera. He ate with such relish, using his uniquely adorable way of eating bamboo shoots, that he successfully attracted everyone to crowd in front of him. Seeing the people queuing in front of Meng Lan's enclosure shivering in the strong wind, we decisively moved on. The monkeys on Monkey Mountain were huddled together to keep warm. After taking photos for a while, our hands were numb with cold. The polar bear came out for a leisurely stroll, walking with such gravity that it felt like a moving mountain. It was so cold that on our way back, we couldn't resist taking a look at the lions and tigers in Lion Tiger Mountain. Unexpectedly, they were all out, walking majestically, with an air of "let the north wind blow even harder!" After a week of quiet rest, the animals were all full of energy!

Planning a trip to Beijing Daxing Wildlife Park and want a smooth and enjoyable experience? This guide is a must-read! Timing is Key Try to arrive early in the morning. In the summer, security checks and park entry begin at 8:30 am. Once inside, head straight to the right and queue for the small train (separate tickets are required for the driving area). The train ride lasts about an hour, and the right-hand seats offer the best views—most of the animals appear on that side. Plus, there's commentary throughout the ride, making it both informative and entertaining. While driving yourself offers more freedom, it takes longer with stops and starts, and you have to yield to the train. The train offers better value overall. Up Close and Personal with the Animals After the train tour, exit the shop, turn right, and walk a short distance to start feeding adorable animals like alpacas and deer. Specific times are scheduled for interactive activities within the park. Remember to take a photo of the schedule upon arrival to plan your day effectively. Next, queue for the safari bus in the wild animal area. Again, the right side offers the best viewing spots for photos, feeding, and interaction. The ride lasts about 30–40 minutes, and the driver's humorous commentary adds to the fun. Exploring Unique Exhibits After the wild animal area, visit the various exhibits in order. Start with the aviary, followed by the giraffes, elephants, hippos, ring-tailed monkeys, bamboo rats, and red pandas. Don't miss the amphibian hall (home to giant salamanders) and the adorable capybaras (they love corn and can grow quite large). Further on is the dinosaur park. By this point, it will be around 3 pm, and you'll have seen most of the park's animals without backtracking—a very efficient route! Transportation Tips If you have limited stamina, reserve an electric cart upon entering the park, as they can be hard to come by later. Renting a car requires a driver's license. Mini two-seater cars are CNY 500/day, four-seater cars are CNY 900/day, plus a CNY 200 deposit. Alternatively, paid shuttle services are available within the park.
