Guangzhou zoo was built in 1958 covering an area of 40 hectares. The zoo attracts more than 5 million local and overseas visitors per year. I visited this nicely managed zoo on 17 January 2016 during my sabbatical stay in Guangzhou! Check my instagram profile @profnasr

Guangzhou Zoo is one of the three largest urban zoos in China. With an area of over 42 hectares (103.7 acres), there are more than 4,500 animals of 450 species, including rare animals like giant pandas, south China tigers, lions, golden monkeys, and black-necked cranes. It contains three sightseeing districts: Central Area of mammals, Bird's Paradise, and Panlong Park with about 200 amphibians and reptiles. In addition, many entertainment activities are also provided. As the symbol of China, those cute giant pandas are also known as ‘national treasure’. With the black-white coat, they capture the hearts of all visitors. The Giant Panda House is the most popular place in Guangzhou Zoo. But remember to visit them in the morning, since they are easy to get sleepy after eating enough in the afternoon. Tigers Hill The fierce tigers in the Guangzhou Zoo are kept inside cages. Visitors can have a close visit to the King of the Forest. Lions Hill There are a couple of African lions and two white lions. They eat 6-7.5 kilograms of meat a day. If the lions are fed a few minutes later than their meal time, they will impatiently walk around the cage and growl. After eating and drinking, they usually lie down on the ground and sleep drowsily.

It's hard to beat the value of this zoo at only 20rmb for adults, however many parts of the zoo are in need renovation. Thankfully though most of the animals appear to be treated well and are healthy. As is typical in China, expect crowds. Another nice provision for foreigners is that many signs are in English. Overall I'd say at the low cost of admission, it's worth a couple of hours to see the animals, however I wouldn't plan an overseas trip around a visit here. The Red Panda was my personal favorite (called the "Lesser Panda" in the English translated signs), go see them!

A large and well-kept zoo. We spent more than 2 hours in it. If you are already in Guangzhou, you must visit this wonderful zoo. You will see some animals here that you will not see in any other zoo. Access to it is very easy, by subway. I also like the map of the zoo, as it is well marked how to see it.

All thins are ok and there are many kinds of animals, this would be fanstastic for children. But it attributes the animals in places inconveniently, if you follow the instruction, you will have to walk long that would be not suitable for children or the elderly.

Reached 8:07am so not many visitors yet. Suggest taking breakfast before entering as just booths selling tea egg 茶叶蛋 CNY4, sausage, 豆花 and souvenirs. Just in time to watch Little Panda(Red Panda) feeding time. They are so cuteness. Ocean Habitat is NOT open. Giant Panda starts at 9:30am but is super crowded as visitors chasing Panda 星一 movements to take photos, and they keep screaming. There's an amusement park inside the zoo that needs to buy tickets for riding. Admission ticket cost CNY20

Amazing zoo, well organized very clean and well enjoyed Guangzhou Zoo is one of the three largest zoos in China. Founded in 1958 .Among the various national and wildlife parks, Guangzhou Zoo in Guangzhou deserves special mention. Located on Xianlie Road, Guangzhou Zoo in Guangzhou covers an area of 430,000 square meters. The animals inside the zoo are exhibited in different areas according to their types, for example, the insects, reptiles and amphibians, birds, primates, felines, and herbivores. What's more, there are not only rare animals from China such as panda, golden monkey, South China tiger, elk, brow-antlered deer, and black-necked crane, but also those rare animals all over the world such as chimpanzee, giraffe, African elephant, hippopotamus, zebra, rhinoceros, and black swan. The zoo ever successfully reproduced over one hundred species, and managed the first ever breeding of chimpanzee, Asian elephant and giraffe in China. It has multiplied herds of scores of wild animals. There are wheel chairs for the disabled and special passage for wheel chairs inside the memorial hall. At the same time, there are also crutches for aged people and baby carriages and toys for children. The park is also a national base for public education about natural science. If you want to see a world class zoo you would be better to avoid Guangzhou zoo, and instead go to Chimelong Xiangjiang Safari Park, in Panyu District, Guangzhou. Its about 35-40 minutes from central Guangzhou city and can be reached by Metro (Line 3, the Changlong Hanxi Station) or by taxi

It’s ok place to kill some time while in Guangzhou. Tickets cost 20 yuans which is around 2,5 euros. You get to see 2 pandas but it is soooo crowded, hot and loud so visit is very short.

We had a great time in this zoo. Great place to take the kids. Not too busy during weekdays. The zoo is quite large and takes a while to walk around the whole park to see the animals. We would recommend at least half a day if kids, or anyone who walks slowly. There is a giraffe feeding experience for ¥20 which we found worthwhile. There is also a small amusement park inside the zoo for kids who want a little bit more. Plenty of shops inside selling souvenirs at tourist prices.

(Translated by Google) The zoo is big enough and there are many kinds of animals, so it is suitable for children to visit. (Original) 動物園夠大，動物種類也多，適合帶小孩到此一遊。

Guangzhou Metro Line 5 Zoo Station exit, tickets 20 yuan, 65 years old free. As one of the oldest parks in Guangzhou, the ticket price of the zoo is very good, and the price/performance ratio is very high. There are various kinds of animals in the zoo, among which there are very rare animals such as the northeast tiger, panda and white tiger. Recommended visit mainly because of its location in the city center, its price is cheaper than other private zoos, there are a lot of restaurants around it, different grades of consumption, suitable for a family, weekend vacation needs, remember to bring a camera.

(Translated by Google) It is a zoo that is very large and accommodates many kinds of animals. You must spend at least 3-4 hours to enjoy all the sections. Those who want to see the pandas may be disappointed because there are so many hot pandas not going out in summer. (Original) Çok büyük ve çok çeşit hayvanı barındıran bir hayvanat bahçesi. Tüm bölümleri keyifle gezebilmek için en az 3-4 saatinizi ayırmanız gerekir. Yaz aylarında pandalar dışarı çıkmıyormuş pek çok sıcak olduğu için, pandaları görmek isteyenler hayalkırıklığına uğrayabilir.

(Translated by Google) During the period from July to the end of October, the outside temperature is too high! Not suitable for swimming in the zoo! Because of the four walls and the walls, the animals smell bad in hot weather! Feeling uncomfortable! Autumn in November is more suitable for visiting and playing! (Original) 7月頭至10月尾期間，外溫度過高！ 不適合遊動物園！因四邊多圍牆，炎熱天氣下動物散發出臭味！感覺難受！11月秋凉比較合適參觀遊玩！

(Translated by Google) If you want to visit a fun place with children, one of the first places you should go to is the big area where you can see here in China's traditional most cute and entertaining animal. (Original) Eğer çocuklarla eğelenceli bir yerde gezmek istiyorsanız ilk gitmeniz gereken yerlerden biri Çin’in geleneksel en sevimli ve eğlenceli hayvanınızda burda görebilirsiniz büyük bir alan olduğu için bütün gününüz burda bitebilir

they have the most beautiful animals 🐈🐇🦔🐿🐼🦆🐆🕊🐊

Nice Zoo

(Translated by Google) Guangzhou Zoo includes many animals such as elephants and giraffes, as well as pandas with some rare animals that are cared for fear of extinction. Tourists can walk around the Guangzhou Zoo on foot and enjoy the opportunity to see the animals in their natural life cycle. Tourists can also try feeding animals and taking commemorative photos alongside animals by approaching them. The garden has a large aquarium with lots of huge fish and dolphins trained to do a lot of acrobatic movements. (Original) تضم حديقة حيوانات كوانزو Guangzhou Zoo بين جنباتها الكثير من الحيوانات مثل الفيلة و الزرافات بالإضافة إلى الباندا مع بعض الحيوانات النادرة التي يتم الاعتناء بها خوفاً من انقراضها. يمكن للسياح التجول في حديقة حيوانات كوانزو سيراً على الأقدام و الاستمتاع بفرصة مشاهدة الحيوانات في دورة الحياة الطبيعية لها. كما يمكن للسياح أيضاً تجربة إطعام الحيوانات و التقاط الصور التذكارية بجانب الحيوانات عن طريق الاقتراب منهم. تحتوي الحديقة على حوض سمك كبير يضم الكثير من الأسماك الضخمة و الدلافين المدربة على فعل الكثير من الحركات البهلوانية.

(Translated by Google) If you are interested in looking at the state zoo, then here you are. And if you are interested in animals, then you are in Chimelong. (Original) Если интересно посмотреть на государвенный зоопарк, то вам сюда. А если вам интересны звери, то вам в Chimelong.

Awesome zoo. Some of the birds are allowed to walk around which is cool. Make sure to bring water and a fan and try to stay cool, cause you're gonna sweat like a dog otherwise.

Must-visit. Tickets are really expensive. But this place is amazing!!! Worths every RMB I spent. You can feed some animals, see those famous pandas and be bitten by a pony (ouch!!) Also we found a kind of circus somewhere on the territory. There are a lot of food trucks and cafes inside the zoo.

(Translated by Google) Have a nice day at the zoo! (Original) Ein schöner Tag im Zoo!

Good to get a sense of nature in heart of the city !

(Translated by Google) There were two times, all at the highest level. I recommend. (Original) Були два рази, все на вищому рівні. Рекомендую.

(Translated by Google) A few tigers were skinny and skinny, and they were obviously malnourished. (Original) 几只老虎都瘦的皮包骨了，明显营养不良。

An amazing experience for those who like this environment also many events going on in the zoo. Rely on the schedule and the map zoo.

Beautiful, clean and just about the right size. Suitable for kids and family coz it's right in the middle of the city with the subway station next to it. Your usual animals and of course, a pair of Pandas...all for only RMB 20 per person. Kids get in free. Last admission at 4pm🙂

Good

Guangzhou zoo is surrounded by high rise units and not far from Teem mall. Panda enclosure was closed when we visited and most enclosures showing sign of ageing. Admission for 2 adults was 40 RMB and user pay for the rides.

(Translated by Google) I was in it twice with a difference of 2 years, if I find myself in Guangzhou, then I will go again. Animals in spacious enclosures, not tortured, well-groomed, birds under large domes have the opportunity to fly! And there are PANDA there! (Original) Была в нем дважды с разницей в 2 года, если окажусь в Гуанчжоу, то поеду ещё. Животные в просторных вольерах, не замученные, ухоженные, птицы под большими куполами имеют возможность летать! А ещё там есть ПАНДЫ!

(Translated by Google) Old, old, same buried old. Admission is cheap. (Original) 舊，舊，同埋舊。入場便宜。

(Translated by Google) Too crowded ... (Original) 混みすぎ…。

(Translated by Google) Garden is very large and has a spectacular view and have a variety of animals and have a yard for roses and flowers very large Login only 20 Ramby (Original) حديقه كبيره جدا و فيها مناظر رايعه و لديهم حيوانات متنوعه و لديهم ساحه للورود و الزهور كبيره جدا الدخول فقط ٢٠ رامبي

(Translated by Google) The student ticket is half price 10, great value, quite a lot of animals, maybe the weather is a bit hot, some animals don't move, 51 people are really a lot, finally see the big bear. . . (Original) 学生票半价10，超值，挺多动物的，可能是天气有点热吧，有些动物都不动，五一人真的很多，终于看到大熊了。。。

One of the countable zoo you can find in guangzhou. If you go to china and dont see panda its a heck. So, please once for the panda at least. Good hotels in walking distance. Guangzhou HC INN is one of them.

(Translated by Google) A cheap and lookable inside of the park (Original) 安くて見ごたえがある園内派広い

Good price...nice

There are many types of animals. You can feed a few types of animals there, too.

(Translated by Google) A good park, and not expensive 200 rubles (Original) Хороший парк, и не дорого 200 рублей

Really good value for money. A good amount of wild life compared to many other zoos i’ve been to.

Lot to see. We can buy fresh vegetable there Nd feed the animals.

Best and peaceful place in Guangzhou to see for tourists. Tickets price 20¥.

They have Pandas!!!

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful and the inside of the dolphin show is wonderful (Original) جميلة جدا و بداخلها عرض الدلافين رائع

(Translated by Google) A beautiful zoo, unforgettable (Original) Un bello zoo, inolvidable

(Translated by Google) Get off at the Zoo Metro Line 5, Huanshi East Road, Guangzhou, and you can easily get here. It is the only large zoo in Guangzhou. Here you can find childhood memories, evoke old dreams, that's all. (Original) 在广州市环市东路动物园地铁五号线下车，就可以很方便来到这里，是广州市区唯一一个大型动物园。到这里可以找到儿时的回忆，勾起旧日的幻梦，如此而已。

(Translated by Google) Spacious and well-maintained facilities, many animals from around the world. By size you can take all day full visit. You can reach by subway. (Original) Amplías y bien cuidadas instalaciones, muchos animales de todo el mundo. Por el tamaño puede tomar todo el día visitarlo completo. Se puede llegar en metro.

Amazing place to visit. A lot of attractions.

One of the best zoos l ve ever visited, animals from world wide and a good chance to see the white lions

It has a very long history, go location , can easily reach.....

(Translated by Google) The subway can be reached, convenient for the people (Original) 地鐵能到，方便親民

The pandas the giraffe's the open-air tram what a sight and warm experience

(Translated by Google) Animals are few, boring. (Original) Животных мало, скучно.

(Translated by Google) Feeding seven giraffes is a masterpiece. Experience that you can never taste in Japan. There is also the power to feed the swarm of pigs, and the entrance fee of 20 yuan and the 20 yuan feeding fee are cheap. We recommend this rather than panda because raccoon is cute. (Original) 7頭いるキリンへの餌やりが圧巻。日本では決して味わえない体感。豚の大群への餌やり大権もあり、20元の入園料と20元の餌代は安い。アライグマが可愛いのでパンダよりもこちらをオススメする。

One of the best clean Zoo in Asia

Very nice! We all enjoy the lovely animals 💗

(Translated by Google) I liked the Shanghai Zoo more, but access to pandas was easier (Original) Шанхайский зоопарк понравился больше, но в этом доступ к пандам был проще

Almost completely the animals around the world.

A great place to have fun with family. Children's favorite place. It only cost 20MB a ticket, if your age is 60+, you can have 50% off discount.

(Translated by Google) Too hot animal (Original) 太热冇乜动物的

(Translated by Google) Not too big, it can be completed in one afternoon, many places are still under construction (Original) 不算大，一個下午就能走完，很多地方還在施工

Not a good place for animals, but the environment is ok. Remember to have some pest and sun protection though, since the park is wide open and the sun is burning during summer.

As someone who has visited many zoos and even worked in zoos, I was incredibly disappointed with my experience here. Many of the exhibits were cramped, dirty, and in need of dire updating, with paint peeling off the walls, loose electrical wires, etc. Many guests were feeding animals and banging on the glass or shouting at the animals to get their attention. If you are looking for a fun, interesting, and ethical zoo visit, look elsewhere.
