Visitors can experience the original and authentic natural world of animals from Asia to Africa, from grasslands to plateaus during the full-day self-driving tour, fully appreciating the wild and vibrant nature of wildlife.
2. Walking Tour Area:

The overall design emphasizes an open concept with over 30 animal pavilions, featuring innovative pavilion design, diverse viewing angles, and unobstructed vision.It brings people closer to animals, increases contact between people and animals, and reflects the intimacy and harmony between humans, animals, and the environment. The walking tour area also includes animal fun training, bird behavior training, and large animal behavior displays. While watching the shows, visitors can experience both interactive fun and surprise and excitement.
3. Predator Experience Area: The predator experience area has eight exhibition areas, displaying eight species of predatory animals, with more than a hundred individuals.
