Introduction to the park

Characteristics of the park

The forest zoo has two characteristics in landscape design. First, the landscape design makes full use of the original topography, pursues natural harmony, and constructs animal cage venues. Most of the animal houses in the zoo are built behind the hills, or artificially built a ring house, the hills block the view, or hidden in the bushes on the mountains. Second, the animal isolation grid and isolation ditch are hidden in the grass and forest. Even if a fierce lion and a tame zebra are only 5 meters apart, they can live in peace.
