Historical evolution

In 1952, the animal corner of Kaihua temple in West Lake, the predecessor of Fuzhou zoo, was opened. At that time, there were only money wild boar, porcupine and a few monkeys.

In 1956, it moved to the foot of Dameng mountain (the former site of Fuzhou Zoo) and expanded into a zoo, and Fuzhou zoo was officially established. There are monkey mountain, Swan Lake and other animal cages.

In 1966, more than 800 lions, tigers, leopards, peacocks and swans were raised.

In 1981, the panda Hall (later independent as "Fuzhou Panda World"), elephant hall, hippo pool, xiongshan, Luyuan, songbird hall, etc. were added.

In 1995, Fuzhou City has realized that the zoo site at the foot of Dameng mountain is narrow and its function is lagging behind, so it began to consider the relocation of the zoo. At that time, the relevant authorities put forward more than 10 alternative plans for the location of new sites. Including: Jinniushan Park, Minhou Shangjie Town, Cangshan Chengmen Town, junbian Town, Jin'an Xindian Town, etc.

In 1998, Fuzhou Bureau of landscape architecture invited dozens of experts from inside and outside the province to select more than 10 new sites for zoos. After screening, experts at that time finally agreed that junbian village, Chengmen Town, Cangshan District was more suitable. In 1999, due to financial problems, the relocation of Fuzhou zoo was postponed.

In November 2006, the relocation of Fuzhou zoo was restarted, and the new site of the zoo was finally selected in Xindian Town, Fuzhou, where Fuzhou zoo is now located. The construction started the next month and was basically completed in April 2008.

On May 4, 2008, the former site of Fuzhou zoo was officially closed to the public, and the relocation of animals began and ended at the end of May.

On June 1, 2008, the new site of Fuzhou zoo opened for the first time.

A large number of flowering trees and shrubs were planted on the open green land on both sides of the road, highlighting the ecological and flowering effects of the new zoo.
