Dalian Forest Zoo
大连森林动物园
A large zoo built into the hillside, with captive and free-roaming wildlife areas linked by a cable car and sightseeing train.
Dalian Forest Zoo lies on the southern slope of the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area and covers about 7 square kilometres. The captive area includes a Panda House, a Tropical Rainforest House and a Sea Lion House. In the free-roaming wildlife zone, you can ride in a vehicle for close views of lions, tigers and bears. The two zones are connected by a cable car and a sightseeing train. Admission is about 120 yuan (the cable car and train cost extra), and opening hours are roughly 7:30 to 17:00. Metro Line 5 or buses reach the South Gate. The park is large and hilly, so allow half a day and wear comfortable shoes.
