China. Pandas, giraffes, Asian elephants, red-crowned cranes,
Siberian tigers and flamingos all could be found in this park.
With green mountains to the north as its barrier, the
Safari Park is like a bright pearl in the bustling metropolis. The
zoo, occupying an area of 120 hectares (296.5 acres), has three
parts according to the living habits of different animals. Visitors

In the adventurous beasts' zone, white tigers (Bengal
tigers), North China tigers (Siberian tigers), South China tigers,
bears, wolves, lions and cheetahs, all have their own homes. In
China, a saying goes that 'one mountain cannot have two tigers', but
in the Chinese Liger Hill, tigers and lions live harmoniously with
each other. Here, visitors find the only tiglon in the world and
rare ligers. The South China tigers show the mien of Chinese tigers.
Giraffes, flamingos, zebras, kangaroos, camels,
hippopotamuses, swans, pandas and other vegetarians inhabit the
vegetarian zone. This area has the largest swan lake in China.

white swans. Considered the national treasures of China, the pandas
are also well worth viewing.
In the animal performance zone, wonderful performances
are awaiting the visitors. The red orangutans, the closest animal to

cooperating with the parrots as cashiers and elephants as porters.
Every day, the zoo holds about ten animal performances in the four
animal performance halls, namely, the Circus Hall, the Elephants and
Tigers Show Hall, the Sea lion Performance Hall and the Birds
Performance Hall. The grand party for hundreds of birds can not be
seen in other parts of the world. Another exciting performance
played by more than 300 actors and about 1,000 animals is also a
pioneer in the world. The elephants act as the leaders of the
parade, with tigers, lions and other animals following behind and
clouds of pigeons hovering in the sky.
