Luoyang Wangcheng Park in Henan | Take the kids to see animals and admire peonies

Wangcheng Park is one of the main venues for the Luoyang Peony Festival. The park is divided into four main areas: the peony viewing area, the historical and cultural area, the large amusement area, and the zoo. Entering from the south gate of the park, the first thing you see is the statue of the Peony Fairy and the peony viewing area. To the east is the children's amusement area and the cable car entrance, which passes through the park and goes directly to the zoo. Wangcheng Zoo has giraffe pavilions, hippopotamus pavilions, lion and tiger pavilions, elephant pavilions, and other animal pavilions, housing South China tigers, Northeast tigers, white tigers, leopards, African elephants, Pere David's deer, gibbons, baboons, chimpanzees, ring-tailed lemurs, black storks, elk, etc.; second-class protected animals include rhinos, hippos, black bears, Hanuman langurs, squirrel monkeys, white pelicans, white-naped cranes, etc. You can feed giraffes, elephants, camels, and deer. The amusement area has rides like the shaking flying chairs, Ferris wheel, pirate ship, and drop tower. Wangcheng Park, as the birthplace of the first Peony Festival, has been the main venue for the festival ever since. It has planted more than 880 varieties of three types, nine forms, and nine color systems of domestic and foreign fine peonies, totaling over 150,000 plants. It is mainly divided into seven peony viewing areas: Peony Fairy, Purple Cloud Heavenly Fragrance Terrace, Proud Plum Blossoming Spring, Spring Dawn Shore, Red Fragrance Welcoming Guests, Wangcheng Early Spring, and Sweet Orange Isle. It can be said to be the peony viewing garden in Luoyang with the longest peony blooming period and the best landscape effect. Chenxiang Tower is one of the eight great sights of Wangcheng, and the large peony altar around the tower, with precious peonies such as Yao Yellow, Wei Purple, Bean Green, and Lantian Jade, sets off the Chenxiang Tower brilliantly. This year's Peony Cultural Festival viewing period is from April 1 to May 5. In the park, you can not only play and admire the flowers, but also see special programs of the Peony Cultural Festival, making it an excellent choice for taking kids and having fun. 🚗Transportation: 🚌Public transport: Bus routes: Get off at Wangcheng Park on routes 9, 10, 11, 15, 19, 32, 40, 50, 59, 101, 102, 103. 🚇Subway: Get off at Wangcheng Park Station on Subway Line 1. 🎫: Ticket: Cable car + zoo ticket 35.
