English Name: Xishuangbanna Tropical Zoo
Xishuangbanna Tropical Zoo is located within the Ethnic Customs Park on the banks of the Liusha River, 1 km southwest of Jinghong. The zoo covers an area of 40 acres and is home to over 100 animal species, including 30 species of tropical wildlife.
The Ethnic Customs Park, where the zoo is located, spans 66.7 hectares (667,000 square meters), with 534,000 square meters of land and 133,000 square meters of water. The park is divided into a southern and a northern section, and within its lush tropical gardens are pavilions representing the six indigenous ethnic minorities of Xishuangbanna. The park is a microcosm of Xishuangbanna, blending its unique tropical flora and fauna with rich ethnic culture.
Established in 2005, the Xishuangbanna Tropical Zoo houses more than 100 animals, including 30 tropical wildlife species that are especially loved by local children. Recently, the zoo has introduced new animals, including an Arabian baboon, brought from the Kunming Wildlife Zoo to be paired with a male baboon in the park, along with a pair of African zebras, ring-tailed lemurs, and an African lion. These additions bring the total number of species in the zoo to 30.
