Chongqing has a population of 33 million, larger than Canada. It is mile after mile of high rise apartments. In the center of the city is a delightful zoo that attracts tai chi aficionados, grandparents and their grandchildren (mostly boys). It also has a wonderful and varied collection of animals, with pandas being the specialty. More pandas their than any... More

This was a stop on our itinerary while waiting to board a ship for a cruise on the Yangtze River. We only went to see the Pandas, and that is probably a good thing as it was getting warm and this was April. I understand Chongqing gets quite hot in the summer and can't imagine how the amimals are kept... More

This is a zoo typical of what I have experienced in North America in the 70's and 80's. It is not a nature reserve or safari. On the other hand, is a place to bring children to see a lot of live animals, they will not see otherwise. From the elephants, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, zebras, camels, pandas, etc. It has... More

A good place to visit but for the visitors. It seems that "Don't feed or tease the animals" to the Chinese means "Throw as many oranges and crisps to the monkeys and birds and shout as loud as you can and bang the cage glass with anything you have available to wake the pandas." They do not deserve to have... More

If you really want to see the Pandas, this is the place. Their enclosures are meant to mimic the wild. They do look and act like big teddy bears, but I wouldn't want one angry at me. They seemed to be fairly sociable and like the human attention. The Siberian tigers are also worth a stop. A Chinese version of... More

I went there on a friday and it was quite a few visitors. I walked around for about 3 hours and the best part was the Pandas. The only thing I missed was that the animal training show was closed this day.
