Changsha Ecological Zoo
长沙生态动物园
A large zoo in the southern suburbs of Changsha, with a drive-through area for big predators and a walking area where you can see giant pandas and feed giraffes.
Changsha Ecological Zoo is near Muyun in Tianxin District. It opened in 2016 after the original Changsha Zoo was relocated. The zoo has a drive-through area, where you ride a park bus past lions, tigers, bears, and other large predators, and a walking area with a panda house, giraffes, flamingos, a marine animal hall, and more. Feeding and animal shows are offered. Tickets cost about 100-plus yuan, with discounts for children. The park is large, so wear comfortable shoes and allow about half a day. Take Metro and transfer to a bus, or take a taxi.
