Qinling Four Treasures Science Park in Xi'an, Shaanxi
The Qinling Four Treasures Science Park is located to the west of Louguantai in Zhouzhi County, Xi'an. It serves as an important showcase for the achievements of Shaanxi Province in ecological civilization construction, the biodiversity of the Qinling Mountains, and the conservation of wild animals in Shaanxi Province. The park opened on May 28, 2021, and is home to a variety of precious wild animals including red pandas, black bears, Reeves's muntjac, goral, golden eagles, long-eared owls, eagle owls, common kestrels, vultures, and Lady Amherst's pheasants. It also houses the world's only captive brown giant panda, 'Qi Zai'.
Here are some travel tips:
• Itinerary suggestion: Starting from downtown Xi'an, you can take the highway, covering about 80 kilometers, and navigate directly to the Qinling Four Treasures Science Park, which takes about 1.5 hours. It is recommended to depart earlier and aim to arrive by 9:30 am. The park is of moderate size, and the external parking area is not large, so parking can be difficult if you arrive late. The park opens around 9:30 am, and there is a feeding session by the keepers after opening, where you can see Qi Zai eating and interacting with visitors.
• Tour route: Pavilion 1 is at the highest point of the Four Treasures Park, and you can take a shuttle bus directly there (ticket price is 10 yuan per person). After reaching the highest point by bus, you can slowly walk down. The star of Pavilion 1 is A Bao, one of Qi Zai's fathers-in-law, who was bitten by Qi Zai and became known as 'Wrench Ear'. Qi Zai is in Pavilion 2, located slightly to the left among the four enclosures. The design of the eight enclosures in the Four Treasures Pavilion is very good. The indoor part is divided into three rooms. One is a pure enclosure, which is a relatively independent resting place for the giant panda, not visible to visitors and only accessible to staff. Another is a room with large glass windows, which is also the activity room for the giant panda, equipped with a pool, activity frames, and other facilities, allowing visitors to see the panda's indoor activities. The third part is the passage from indoors to outdoors, designed under the visitor's walkway, with a transparent high-strength glass ceiling, allowing visitors to look down and directly see the giant panda walking from indoors to the yard. The fourth part is the outdoor activity area for the panda, nearly 800 square meters, with a simulated mountain slope design. The lowest end has a wall and a visitor platform, allowing visitors to have a full view of the panda's outdoor activities at eye level. This design is fantastic.
• Other experiences: In addition to pandas, there are also other rare animals such as takins, crested ibis, and Qinling golden snub-nosed monkeys, which are also very worth seeing. Around the Four Treasures Park, located at Louguantai in Zhouzhi County, is a very particular place in Chinese Taoism. There is a large sightseeing garden nearby, and friends interested in Chinese Taoist culture can take the opportunity to visit.
If you plan to visit, it is recommended to purchase tickets in advance and to be mindful of protecting wildlife and the environment.
A small park can see an animal in a few steps. It is very friendly to children. It is recommended to take a sightseeing car to the top, and then walk down. After the top, it is yak, and then the giant panda No. 1 and 2 Hall. I saw the seven children smoothly! Then Zhu Ying, the red panda, the golden monkey, and then bought the latest seven-child and went home happily.
To see the panda, you must go to the Qinling Sibao Science Park in Shaanxi. There are top-flowing "Seven Boys", and cute "Love Ears" Bao. And the pandas have the most number, which makes people linger.
Traveling to Xi'an, Qinling Sibao Science Park is worth a visit, and the seven pandas are worth the distance and fare. You can take a long-distance bus here, about an hour and a half by car, get off the car and then share the car, 5 yuan per person to the door. At the door, you can enter the park by reporting your mobile phone number, which is very convenient
Adults 20, children 10 yuan, there are many unique protection animals in Qinling Mountains, great value, the most important thing is the seven children, super cute. It is recommended to go to the park at 10 o'clock in the morning, just to see the pandas have breakfast, and go to bed at noon. The park is not big but the content is quite rich, and there are many bathrooms. There are not many types of food in the restaurant, mainly fast food rice, burgers, porridge, snacks, but simple eating is no problem. It is still recommended to go around, walking the baby is good.
Going to the landlord's stupid son, the zoo is clean and hygienic, the animals are more active, and the fare is so affordable, the surrounding accommodation and eating are also good, very recommended! The best choice for parent-child travel to punch in!
Waiting for the door to open early in the morning to enter the park, the off-season is 9:30, and it is half an hour early. I saw Abao Qizai Lele. But unfortunately, the pandas in the cub hall are sleeping. The other three treasures are a bit lonely, and the wind has been robbed by the giant pandas. Black bears and vultures are also very interesting. Very interesting park, few people clean.
