Your Experience

Hsinchu Zoo offers a unique opportunity for visitors to see animals up close in an environment that emphasizes animal welfare and historical preservation. The zoo features five main attractions: the historic "Elephant Gate," "Hippo Lele," the "Bengal Tiger's New Home Experience," the "Giant Birdcage," and the "Forest Dining Hall." Each attraction provides a unique experience, allowing visitors to engage with wildlife in thoughtful and educational ways.

Animal-Friendly Exhibits

In 2017, Hsinchu Zoo launched the "Zoo Regeneration Project" focusing on three core values: animal friendliness, historical preservation, and life education. This initiative has transformed exhibits into cage-free environments, offering animals 1.5 times more space than before. The zoo's commitment to these principles ensures a respectful and enriching experience for both animals and visitors.

Historical Attractions

The "Elephant Gate," designed by a Japanese architect inspired by the Hagenbeck Zoo in Germany, is one of the zoo’s historical highlights. During renovations, 13 layers of paint were removed to reveal its original blue-green color. This gate not only serves as an entrance but also as a nostalgic landmark for many visitors who cherish childhood memories associated with it.

Interactive Experiences

The "Rainforest Passage" allows children to observe Bengal tiger twins, Liu Fu and Lai Fu, along with their neighbors—an orangutan named Xiong Da and Malayan sun bears Dudu and Winnie the Pooh. This passage offers an immersive experience where visitors can feel as if they are part of the animals' world.

Additionally, the "old-fashioned birdcage" has been transformed into a children's exploration playground with climbing nets and sandpits, encouraging interactive play while learning about avian species.

Culinary Delights

The "Forest Canteen," designed like an art gallery, offers visitors a chance to enjoy meals amidst nature. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the antelope habitat, diners can savor their food while observing these graceful animals. This setting provides a perfect opportunity for families and animal lovers to relax and recharge before continuing their zoo exploration.

Animal enthusiasts are encouraged not to miss this unique dining experience that combines culinary enjoyment with wildlife observation.
