Hangzhou Zoo
杭州动物园
A long-established zoo built into the hillside on Hupao Road, home to giant pandas, South China tigers and over 200 other species. It is ideal for a family half-day outing.
Hangzhou Zoo sits on Hupao Road, built into the hillside. It keeps more than 200 species, including giant pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, South China tigers and giraffes. The grounds have many slopes but are well greened, making it a weekend favorite with local families. Admission is about 20 yuan, and the zoo stays open as usual on Mondays. It lies along the same route as Hupao Park and Six Harmonies Pagoda, so you can link them into a half-day outing. Wear comfortable shoes, as the slopes are steep in places.
Opening hours
