What to Expect at the Changchun Siberian Tiger Park
Experience the raw power and captivating grace of Siberian tigers and other fascinating species at the Changchun Siberian Tiger Park. This immersive wildlife experience is a must-see for any animal lover.

The Predator Viewing Area
The Predator Viewing Area is the park’s star attraction, promising an unforgettable encounter with apex predators. Here, Siberian tigers, African lions, brown bears, and black bears roam in a naturalistic habitat, showcasing their natural behaviors and interactions. Visitors can often observe the resident brown bears standing on their hind legs and interacting with the bus windows, hoping for a treat.

The Herbivore Zone
After the excitement of the predator exhibits, enjoy a relaxing visit to the Herbivore Zone. Here you’ll find camels, yaks, dwarf horses, llamas, alpacas, roe deer, and sika deer, each in their own separate areas. You might even hear the distinctive drumming-like call of the docile emu.

The Aviary
Spanning 10,000 square meters, the aviary houses over 200 birds, many rare, including Great Bustards, Red-crowned Cranes, and Golden Pheasants. You can admire peacock plumage displays, listen to birdsong, and enjoy unforgettable bird shows.

The Panda House
Tucked away in the park’s southeast corner, next to the aviary, the panda enclosure is cleverly designed to resemble a giant panda’s round, cute face. Inside, two celebrity female pandas, Chu Xin (初心) and Mu Yun (牧云), reside. Seemingly unfazed by the steady stream of visitors, they sit peacefully, munching on fresh bamboo shoots. Their plump bodies, distinctive black eye patches, and inherent charm have made them the zoo’s most popular attraction, drawing countless admirers.

The Monkey Mountain
Monkey Mountain, nestled within the park’s ecological corridor, is a large, sculpted rock feature surrounded by broadleaf trees. A natural stream flows at its base, within the glass enclosure. The mountain offers a unique viewing experience: groups of monkeys, including mothers cradling their young, climb and frolic. Their agile movements and playful interactions inspire awe and highlight their remarkable flexibility.
