It covers an area of 2,200 acres and is a wildlife theme park with wildlife viewing, display and experience as its core products, integrating leisure, entertainment, science popularization, business, and vacation functions.
The park is divided into two main sections, north and south, and houses 200 species of rare and protected animals, both free-range and captive. Signage featuring cartoon images of animals not only facilitates visitors' viewing needs but also adds to the park's appeal.
The park is divided into two parts, one is the driving route and the other is the walking route. On the driving route, you can see animals walking on the roadside and have close contact with the animals. It is also an area where you can see a better restoration of the wild living environment of animals. Private cars and the park's small train are allowed to pass through here. Tourists are not allowed to get off the vehicle throughout the entire journey, but there is a larger walking area with an interactive feeding area for alpacas and black bears.
