Guilin Zoo

Guilin zoo is located in the back mountain of Camel Mountain in Guilin Seven Star Park. It is the only professional zoo in Guilin. Guilin Seven Star Zoo was established in 1959, covering an area of 2.3 hectares. It has raised more than 300 animals of 50 species, including 16 species of first-class national protected animals. Its hardware facilities and breeding level rank in the forefront of small and medium-sized zoos in China. In 2009, Guilin zoo was newly built in Qixing Park, and the first phase of the project has been completed and opened.

In nearly half a century, Guilin zoo has raised six giant pandas, including "No.9", "Weilun", "Meimei", "Taotao", "Yueyue" and "Yangyang". Fengyi and Meixin will be the seventh and eighth pandas raised in Guilin zoo.

Eight giant pandas make Guilin fall in love with pandas

In the early 1960s, after the completion of Guilin zoo, the Seven Star scenic spot had a deep relationship with giant pandas. In the mid-1960s, shortly after Guilin zoo opened to the public, the female giant panda "No. 9" came to the Seven Star scenic spot from Sichuan, becoming the first giant panda owned by Guilin people. "No. 9" lived happily in Guilin for 20 years under the careful care of the zoo in the scenic area, and died of illness in June 1985.

Shortly after the death of "9", Guilin zoo rented a male giant panda "Weilun" from Chongqing Zoo. Weilun lived in Guilin for several months, bringing a lot of joy to Guilin residents. At the end of 1985, Weilun returned to Chongqing.

In 1985, a large area of bamboo blossomed and died once in 60 years in the giant panda production area. The giant panda is short of food and is facing a serious survival crisis. Guilin zoo was lucky to get two giant pandas rescued from the wild, namely "Meimei" and "Taotao". However, it is a pity that "Taotao" is relatively weak. He only lived in Guilin for one year and finally left this beautiful city forever because of serious illness. "Meimei" was taken good care of in Guilin zoo. The breeders fed "Meimei" deer antler and took taiyangshen oral liquid. Finally, she passed through the health crisis in Guilin and became more and more beautiful, becoming a "big beauty". She lived comfortably and happily in Guilin zoo for 20 years until her death on July 12, 2005. Giant panda "Meimei" has also created a 36 year old longevity under the condition of artificial breeding, becoming the longest surviving giant panda under the condition of artificial captive. The death of "Meimei", the treasure of Zhenyuan, made the zoo even worse.

Zoos that lack giant pandas lack a lot of laughter. Under the strong expectation of Guilin citizens and tourists at home and abroad, on December 18, 2005, the star female giant panda "Yueyue", who once took part in the film "baby giant panda", flew to Guilin to live in the panda house where "Meimei" once lived. On September 20, 2007, "Yueyue" moved into the new panda museum, Guilin popular science education base of China Giant Panda Protection Research Center. The new panda museum is built on the mountain, including panda kitchen, panda specimen room and three bedrooms. The spacious activity field provides a more comfortable activity space for "Yueyue".

"Yangyang" is the sixth giant panda raised in the Seven Star scenic spot. Male, he was found seriously ill in the mountains of Baishuijiang Nature Reserve in Gansu Province in the autumn of 2001. After treatment, his condition improved, and then he was transferred to China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center (located in Wolong Nature reserve, Sichuan Province). On September 28, 2007, "Yangyang" lived in Guilin and came to the New Panda House to live next to "Yueyue". Under the arrangement of the zoo staff, "Yangyang" and "Yueyue" once went on a blind date, but they failed to show their majestic and gentle side, and were slapped by the angry "Yueyue", so the pair finally failed to form a bond. Yangyang's colorful life in Guilin ended on August 28, 2009 and returned to the Bifengxia base in Ya'an, China Giant Panda Protection and research center according to the agreement. "Yueyue" is still happily living the life of "leftover girl" in Panda House.

In December 2009, two Olympic giant pandas "Fengyi" and "Meixin" officially settled in Guilin. The arrival of "Fengyi" and "Meixin" will add new highlights to Guilin, a world famous tourist city, and bring more joy to Guilin citizens and tourists.

Introduction to Xinyuan

The new park is still in the Seven Star Park, covering an area of more than 120 mu, which is four times that of the old park. After the full completion of the park, there will be 20 venues, which is twice the original. There are eight functional areas in the park, namely central square area, children's recreation area, bird area, animal entertainment area, ecological venue area, primate area, giant panda area and animal performance area. In the first phase, there are 17 venues including Flamingo hall, fox Monkey Island, giant panda hall, primate hall, animal Hotel and kangaroo garden.

The new museum plans to display more than 100 kinds of wild animals and more than 1000 animals. The first and second level protected animals on display in the first phase include giant panda, red panda, golden monkey, gibbon, black leaf monkey, yellow bellied Tragopan, Red Crowned Crane, etc. In order to improve the attractiveness of the zoo, the zoo will introduce kangaroo, elephant, hippo, lemur, squirrel monkey and other wild animals with strong ornamental value in the future.

The animal entertainment area of the new museum will hold Animal Parade activities every day. Visitors can walk with animals to provide people with the opportunity of zero distance contact with animals. The animal performance area is a butterfly shaped film pulling structure performance field with the largest scale in South China. It will regularly perform animal stunts and animal humor with local characteristics. The second phase includes "insect kingdom" mini theme park and other projects.

At present, the construction of the whole zoo has taken shape. From a distance, you can see the unique shape of the primate hall with a clear view; the lemur island is surrounded by streams, and the cabin is hidden in the green trees, which makes you feel like you have entered a fairy tale world Gongxin animal park has reached the first-class level in China in terms of garden construction and building concept.

Characteristics of new garden

Break the "cage" and let animals enjoy welfare

Many Guilin people's impression of the zoo is to see the animals through the cage. The animals were locked in the concrete house, across the fence, and lost their original living environment.

Guilin zoo, taking advantage of the opportunity of moving to a new site, is trying to create an environment that simulates the original place of animals and restore the original state of animals' life. Those who live in groups will be given group life, while those who are used to being alone will have to enjoy their own space.

Guilin zoo has prepared sand suitable for kangaroo life for the coming white kangaroo; for flamingos and other animals, it only uses high-altitude net cover integrated with the forest to isolate them, so as to give them wider space for activities; at present, glass partition is used in monkey hall, which is convenient for tourists to watch, It will not disturb the lives of animals. Considering the living environment of baby pandas, red panda island has reached the first-class conditions in China and is ready to welcome 10 newly introduced baby pandas

Zoo experts said that only when animals have their own adaptive environment can they grow and reproduce healthily and show more physiological behaviors. And being able to breed animals successfully is of great significance to zoos.

Guilin zoo takes the best route

Guilin zoo is located in the central area of the city. It blends with the beautiful seven star scenic spot and is surrounded by dense human residential areas. Therefore, how to complete the functions of science popularization, species protection and animal entertainment of a city zoo and realize the harmonious coexistence of human and nature is the key point of Guilin zoo's characteristic development. At present, the giant panda is the "treasure of Guilin zoo", which not only attracts a large number of citizens, but also many foreign tourists are particularly interested in Guilin zoo because of the giant panda. Guilin zoo, which has three giant pandas, now has the brand of "Giant Panda Research Center". The pure natural giant panda park built on the mountain is also among the best in China.

Some of the animals introduced this time belong to rare animals, which are rarely seen by the public. There were a group of black swans in Swan Lake, but nine little white swans came
